Inpatient Monitoring - RDS (Advancing Patient Pathways™)

IN A NUTSHELL

Streamlining Inpatient Monitoring with Continuous Remote Monitoring

Continuous, remote patient monitoring is a transformative approach in healthcare that significantly contributes to streamlining patient monitoring procedures within hospitals and other healthcare organizations.

Continuous, remote patient monitoring plays a pivotal role in enhancing efficiency and reducing the time and effort traditionally expended on patient monitoring.

IMPACT

Improving patient outcomes

Every year in the world, 300 million surgical procedures are performed worldwide¹. Even in scheduled surgery, over 10% of patient suffer from complications that can have severe consequences (infections, pneumonia, bleeding, thrombosis, arrhythmias etc.)². Continuous, remote monitoring helps reduce these risks.

Lower Risks of Complications

Literature highlights that continuous vital sign monitoring is associated with a 27% decrease in the complication rate³

Lower Risks of Mortality

Literature highlights a 39% reduction in the risk of mortality compared with patients who underwent conventional intermittent manual measurement of vital signs⁴

Lower Risk of Transfer to ICU

Literature highlights that continuous vital sign monitoring is associated with a lower risk of unplanned ICU admissions¹⁰ and transfer to ICU more generally^3,4,11

Shorter Length of Stay in the Hospital

Literature highlights that continuous monitoring of patients’ vital signs and other physiological parameters helps reduce the average length of stay in the hospital^4,5,7

Enhanced Decision-Making

Literature highlights that continuous, multi-parametric patient surveillance helps recognize and treat deterioration events, when associated with an appropriate response system⁵

IMPACT

Simpliying monitoring

Physiological Monitoring of such parameters as heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation is essential to check patient stability, detect early signs of complications, and grow data to support medical decision. However, it is still today a manual, repetitive and tedious process, which has an impact for both the nursing staff and the patient. Continuous, remote patient monitoring helps solve some of these challenges.

Fewer Response Team Activations

Literature highlights that implementing continuous monitoring of the patient’s physiological parameters helps decrease rapid response team activations^5,10,11

40% Less Time Spent on Recording Vital Signs⁸

Literature highlights that automated continuous patient monitoring helps reduce the overall workload and manual tasks of the nursing staff associated with the monitoring process⁸, allowing them to refocus time and effort on other priority activities.

Higher Patient Quality of Life

Replacing manual monitoring procedures with continuous remote monitoring contributes to minimize patient discomfort. It is less invasive and involves fewer wires. Unlike manual “spot checks” of vital signs, continuous monitoring helps avoid disturbing patients during sleep ¹²

Simplified Traceability

Monitoring records are documented automatically and electronically, which helps increase the traceability of the data and the understanding of each patient’s physiological profile.

Alarm Fatigue Prevention

Continuous vital signs trend monitoring in the general ward setting helps avoid unnecessary alarms and prevent alarm fatigue⁹
