Staff Duress & Staff Rounding
Staff safety enables real-time notifications of who and where assistance is needed. Automated real-time rounding status of each patient, staff that performed the rounding and time entered for rounding.
Workflow Optimization
Provide better patient experience by understanding patient door to door times, monitoring waiting times and alleviating bottlenecks. The ability to see more patients in the same timeframe, increasing revenue.
Environmental Monitoring
Environmental Monitoring alerts you 24/7 with temperature, humidity, CO2, and DAP readings to name a few, along with providing automated compliance monitoring and corrective action logs.
Alerting
& Analytics
A robust rules engine allows for unlimited alerts and escalations to be sent, while real-time and historical analytics provide detailed reports on everything from location movements, to response times and interactions.
Wander Mgmt
& Hand Hygiene
Real-time exit or night-time wander alerts allow staff to be aware of potential harmful event throughout a facility. Understanding hand hygiene compliance rates can help lower hospital acquired infections (HAIs).
Virtual Healthcare Use Cases
Staff Duress Events
A nursing staff member in a crisis or with emergency safety concerns can simply push a button on their badge to create a notification to be displayed within the room banner being viewed by the virtual care nurse. Staff name and location can be displayed along with the ability to view the cameras and audio in the patient room, and dispatch response for immediate assistance or initiate access control remotely for lockdown procedures.
Advanced Patient Safety
Staff safety enables real-time notifications of who and where assistance is needed. With virtual hubs in each patient room, a virtual nurse can monitor multiple patients at once, and be alerted with custom notification messages and sounds configured based on priority level. For example, if a patient's bed rails are lowered, or a patient falls, pulls a cord, calls for help, etc, the nurse call system and cameras will detect this and trigger an event which immediately displays on the dashboard monitor.
Asset Tracking Events
Virtual care staff can proactively search and locate equipment that is needed prior to the nurse in the room spending time looking. Not only can the virtual staff member locate nearby equipment that is available to use, but now the nurse can focus on providing care to their patients, saving time and driving efficiencies.
