Continuous monitoring of SpO2 and EtCO2 could help nurses in non-critical care areas identify decompensating patient conditions and intervene sooner to save lives.
By increasing the use of – and reliance on – medical device information, healthcare providers will gain more insights into patient health to possibly reduce medical errors and reduce the overall cost of care.
Patient Safety Awareness Week, an annual event of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement taking place March 8-14, 2020.
A look into the cost of medical errors, how to identify at-risk patients at the first sign of serious decline, and how clinical workflow technologies can help reduce medical errors and preventable catastrophic events.
Patient Monitoring in non-critical care focuses on three areas: improving workflow efficiency, ensuring data accuracy, and enhancing clinical usability.
To reduce medical errors and combat the inefficiencies of manual patient charting, here are three areas that will benefit from automated patient monitoring technology.
