Best practices for deploying updates and upgrades

This section describes recommended best practices for deploying new configurations and software upgrades to your connected Baxter products using SmartCare Remote Management.
Before deployment

• Make sure the scheduled deployment time is during normal business hours when resources are most likely to be available for you, including Baxter. The customer owns the communications and training plan.
• Be sure to perform basic regression test cases first to ensure the updates/upgrades work correctly in your environment before a vast deployment. In addition to verifying asset network connectivity, ensure the asset tag and location fields appear properly on the asset.
• Before the planned deployment, coordinate with clinical staff to turn on assets during the planned update time to ensure maximum update coverage

During and after deployment

• Use the SmartCare Remote Management report feature to check on the CFG Update Status and/or the Firmware Status.

Log in and log out

This section describes two different methods of logging into SmartCare Remote Management. Depending on how your facility is set up, you will either log in without single sign-on or sign in with single sign-on.
These instructions assume you have established login credentials to access PartnerConnect® and have credentials to access SmartCare Remote Management. If this is not the case, contact your organization’s administrator.

• NOTE See “Sign in (with single sign-on)” for more information about the single sign-on process

Log in (without single sign-on)

Follow the steps below to log in to SmartCare remote management if your facility is not set up with single sign-on.

1. Open an internet browser and enter the SmartCare Remote Management URL:
   https://smartcareremotemanagement.hillrom.com

2. Enter your email address and password for this site.

3. Click LOG IN. SmartCare Remote Management opens and displays either the ASSETS window or a rollup page from which you may select your clinic.
   NOTE By default, SmartCare Remote Management presents an unfiltered asset list at the start of a new session.

4. If you have forgotten your password, click Forgot password? to receive an email with instructions for updating your password.

Sign in (with single sign-on)

Follow the steps below to sign in to SmartCare remote management if your facility is set up with single sign-on.
The single sign-on method allows you to authenticate your credentials through your company’s existing Active Directory (Windows login). This method eliminates the need to provide a username and password at every login.

Log out
To exit SmartCare Remote Management, follow the steps below.

1. Click the Account/User link at the top of the screen. (Look for your user name.)
2. Click Log out in the popup window.

Access the asset list
The asset list provides a complete list of equipment associated with your Account/User ID. This list opens automatically when you log in to SmartCare Remote Management, unless you are an administrator, in which case the list will open after you click the name of your clinic. To access the asset list from any other screen in SmartCare remote management, click the ASSETS option on the left side of the screen.

Filter the asset list
Filtering enables you to refine the asset list by asset type and by organization, including by a specific location within an organization.
By default, no filters are applied at the start of a SmartCare Remote Management session, but you can apply filters at any time during your session. Once you apply filters, they persist throughout a session until you modify them.
The steps below move from the most general to the most specific filter options, but you can filter by model alone and in some cases with a subset of the other available filters.

1. To filter the asset list by organization, select the Organization dropdown. The organization dropdown appears above the asset list. The screen will refresh to display the selected organization.

2.  To filter the asset list by location or facility, select the location from the Organization dropdown.
   The screen will refresh to display the selected location.

3. To filter the asset list by model, click a selection under Asset type. The screen will refresh to display the selected model type.

The asset list data presented changes based on filters applied and includes the following details:

• Firmware
• Config file
• Asset tag
• Serial number
• Ownership
• Last connected
• PM due (date preventive maintenance is due)
• Status

You can sort asset list data by clicking in selected columns. The Type column and the Ownership column are unsortable. In addition, if more than 50 results appear in your list, pagination controls at the bottom of the screen allow you to navigate to additional asset list data.

Use the search box

Another way to refine the asset list is to use the search box to enter a query that will look for a match in a device’s model name, asset tag, serial number, ownership, or connection information. Entries in the search box immediately clear any applied filters. To use the search box, follow the steps below.

1. Place your cursor in the search box.
2. Enter the alphanumeric characters for your query. With each character you enter, the results displayed change to present all devices with data that exactly match your query. Note that partial serial numbers, dates, and words may suffice to narrow your results.
3. Modify the search, if needed, by editing your query.
4. To clear the query, click the X in the search box.

If no devices match the search query, the screen displays the message, “Displaying 0-0 of 0 results.”

Access asset details

Access detailed information about a specific asset on the ASSET screen by following these instructions.

1. Use filters or a search query as desired to refine the asset list data presented onscreen.

2. Click anywhere in a specific asset’s row to open its asset details screen.

3. Click the asset detail tabs to find the specific information you need. The available tabs vary based on the asset selected. Possible tabs include Preventive maintenance, Component information, Error codes, and Logs.
   NOTE From the asset details screen, you may be able to view access point (AP) mapping information to help you find an asset’s approximate location. If you are an administrator, you may also enter a custom label.

4. To open the Request logs window, if available for your asset, click the Logs tab, click Request logs, select the type of log you want to download as well as the date(s) if applicable, and click Download.

5. Click Edit to edit asset details, if desired.
   NOTE If the asset has a fixed location, you can modify and save room and bed details in this window. This information is saved only on the SmartCare Remote Management server for tracking purposes and is not pushed to the asset.

View error code notifications

Some connected Baxter products offer an option to view information about error codes from the asset details screen. If your connected Baxter product offers this option, follow the steps below to view the information.
NOTE The following icon indicates error codes or alerts.

1. From the ASSETS screen, use filters or a search query to refine the details.
2. Click anywhere in a specific row to view additional details.
3. Click the Error codes tab.
4. Click the row that displays the error name. A window showing information about the error, including possible solutions, appears.
   NOTE Click Reference either in the asset details screen or in the error code window to open the service manual.

Depending on the type of asset, you may see status information about service alerts in the error codes window. An “Active” status means that the asset reported an error. “Acknowledged – no work order” means that Baxter support has acknowledged the error but has not yet assigned a work order. “Acknowledged – work order” means that Baxter support has assigned a work order. In the case of an acknowledged work order, the work order number will appear next to the “acknowledged” status.

Component health alerts

• NOTE The following icon indicates a component health alert, such as a battery end-of-life alert, or an error code.
• NOTE Not all connected Baxter products will have this feature.

Component health alerts help you to know when the health of a component may be in question.
For example, the end-of-life battery alert helps you proactively replace batteries. When a battery in a connected Baxter product is nearing its end of life, a battery end-of-life icon ( ) appears on the ASSETS page in the Status column. This icon means that the battery maximum capacity is at less than 35% and that only a portion of the battery is usable. Low battery maximum capacity shortens the amount of time before battery charging is required. If the battery end-of-life icon appears, we recommend that you replace the batteries in the asset.

View end-of-life battery alert details
To view an end-of-life battery alert and the percentage of battery life remaining, follow the steps below.

1. From the ASSET screen, use filters or a search query to refine the asset list data.
   The end-of-life battery alert ( ) appears in the Status column.

2. Click anywhere on a specific asset’s row to open its asset details screen.

3. Click the Component information tab where the end-of-life battery alert also appears.
