Optimize Medical/Surgical Time for Patient Care
As the patient-to-nurse staffing ratio for hospitals’ Med/Surg units continues to rise, many hospitals look for innovative solutions to provide nursing care on multiple Med/Surg floors with various wings. In most Med/Surg departments, a unit secretary monitors patient alerts. However, there are many challenges in communicating relevant changes in patient medical conditions to Med/Surg nursing staff. Ideally, the nursing teams need to be continuously aware of relevant changes in patient medical conditions to increase patient safety and optimize efficiency. Vigilance makes this ideal a reality, providing instant access to vital patient information through a remote presence monitoring and nursing decision-support application; available anytime, anywhere.
