LEWISVILLE, Texas –
CareView Communications, Inc. ("CareView" or the "Company") (OTCQB: CRVW), an information technology provider to the healthcare industry, announced today the completion of SITTERVIEW™, an innovative application that employs mobile technology to enable healthcare providers to better utilize patient sitters, improve patient safety, and reduce sitter costs. SitterView™ allows a single sitter the ability to monitor multiple patients and utilize the safety features of CareView’s NurseView™ and Virtual Bed Rails™ applications. SitterView™ is ready for immediate deployment to existing and new users of the CareView System™.
"CareView is continually working to help our healthcare facilities better utilize technology and human resources to better serve patients, reduce costs and help create the safest environment possible. We believe SitterView™ does that and more. SitterView™ uses smart pad technology to allow a single sitter to monitor multiple patients and multiple sitters to cover each other to insure that patients at risk for a fall continually have multiple sets of eyes on them,” stated Samuel A. Greco, CareView’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are committed to providing cost-effective solutions that enhance safety and care while reducing costs. SitterView™ accomplishes that goal and we are sure that our existing and new customers will see this beneficial add-on as an integral part of patient safety in their facilities.”
The SitterView™ application of the CareView System™ focuses on utilizing sitters more effectively, allowing the CareView Virtual Bed Rails™ application to be monitored by those at the nursing station and on SitterView™ smart pads while simultaneously reducing overall sitter costs, helping the hospital create a safer environment and reducing patient falls. The CareView philosophy is to offer services to hospitals and its patients that not only improve the quality and safety of care, but also reduces the cost of that care.
The CareView System™ is a suite of products that brings the information technology of the 21st century directly to patients, families and healthcare providers by connecting them through one easy-to-install and simple-to-use system. This collaboration will allow hospitals to provide:
- The safest environment to protect patients from falls in the patient room.
- The ability to implement audit tools to ensure that quality standards are being met and safety measures are being complied with, while both are used to further educate caregivers to continually enhance quality and safety for their patients.
- Doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers with the ability to efficiently and cost-effectively monitor, treat, and visit their patients.
- Family members and friends with the ability to use the Internet to monitor, visit, and correspond with their loved ones who are patients at CareView hospitals.
