Remote Patient Monitoring

…A Feature of Dalcon Alert!

Remote Patient Monitoring allows for healthcare caregivers to constantly stay connected with patients, regardless of their location within the hospital. If blood pressure, heart rate, or other vitals veer above or below set parameters, an alert message is sent to a pre-assigned caregiver’s Wireless Telephone so prioritization and appropriate action can be taken.

Healthcare organizations are often challenged with a multitude of systems creating alarm conditions that are essentially “islands of information.” Lack of integrated and efficient communication typically results in major gaps in the flow of critical information. Dalcon Alert! bridges these disparate systems to provide seamless communication and event-driven connectivity, particularly at the point-of-care.

Benefits of Dalcon’s Remote Patient Monitoring:

•  Receive immediate patient data alerts and deliver care in a matter of seconds rather than minutes
•  Manage staff strategically as patients can be monitored from multiple departments and areas within the hospital
•  Distribute vital patient data to multiple care givers in and OUT of the hospital
•  Address JCAHO Goal #16

In accordance with the JCAHO 2009 National Patient Safety Goals, the implementation of the Dalcon Remote Patient Monitoring solution positions the community hospital to more successfully achieve the following goals:

Goal #16 – Improve Recognition and Response to Changes in a Patient’s Condition
NPSG.16.01.01 – The [organization] selects a suitable method that enables health care staff members to directly request additional assistance from a specially trained individual(s) when the [patient]’s condition appears to be worsening. (Elements 2 & 5)
