CareView Communications, Inc. an information technology provider to the healthcare industry, announced the signing of an agreement with a health system building a new campus in Pensacola, FL. The new campus includes a new acute care hospital and behavioral health unit with room for future expansion.
The agreement calls for the installation of the CareView Patient Safety System®, which facilitates continuous remote patient monitoring for patients who may be at risk of harm due to falls, behavioral issues, or suicidal ideation. The CareView solution leverages an in-room camera with audio capabilities and patented Virtual Bed Rails® and Virtual Chair Rails® technologies to improve patient safety. The Virtual Rails use machine learning to identify when the patient's movement indicates a fall may be imminent, and subsequently alerts the Safety Technician. Pre-recorded messages or 2-way audio allow for direct communication with the patient. The System offers a considerable impact on sitter reduction and overall patient safety.
“We are pleased to be working with our newest partner and know that our System is the solution to address their needs to reduce patient falls and increase patient safety.”
