Product Description:

Equum Medical's Virtual Sitter Services enhance patient safety and care through continuous, remote monitoring. Designed to support hospitals facing staffing challenges and to improve patient outcomes, our virtual sitter services leverage advanced telehealth technology to provide constant observation of patients at risk of falls, self-harm, or other safety concerns.

Virtual sitters utilize high-resolution video and audio technology to monitor patients from a centralized location. This approach allows trained technicians to observe multiple patients simultaneously, providing real-time alerts to on-site nursing staff when immediate intervention is necessary. By reducing the need for in-person sitters, hospitals can optimize their resources and ensure that their staff is utilized efficiently.

The primary benefits of Equum Medical's Virtual Sitter Services include enhanced patient safety, reduced staffing costs, and improved workflow efficiency. Virtual sitters can promptly identify and respond to potential safety issues, ensuring that patients receive timely and appropriate care. This proactive approach helps to prevent falls, reduce incidents of self-harm, and mitigate other safety risks, leading to better patient outcomes and higher satisfaction rates.

Additionally, virtual sitters play a crucial role in supporting bedside nurses by handling routine monitoring tasks, allowing on-site staff to focus on more critical aspects of patient care. This collaboration fosters a safer, more efficient care environment and helps to alleviate the workload of overburdened nursing teams.

Equum Medical's Virtual Sitter Services offer a scalable, cost-effective solution to address the growing demands of modern healthcare. By integrating virtual sitters into their care models, hospitals can enhance patient safety, optimize staffing, and improve the overall quality of care provided to patients.

Product Description:
AristaMD’s eConsult Platform empowers primary care providers with clinical work-up checklists and the ability to conduct eConsults with specialists to collaborate on care plans in a matter of hours.
About AristaMD:

AristaMD offers its clients unique tools for facilitating electronic consultations, often called eConsults and in-network specialist referrals that offer great value and rapid ROI, typically within 30 days of the rollout. eConsults enable higher-level care at a lower cost than the traditional delivery model. 

Health systems access AristaMD's platform to improve workforce efficiency while reducing costs. This interoperable platform can be used alone or integrated with any EHR without disrupting a hospital's clinical workflow. AristaMD offers a team of Registered Nurse Navigators (RNNs) to support the implementation and ongoing routing of eConsults. Using a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, RNNs identify referral and follow-up requests that are appropriate for eConsult, route these requests to the appropriate specialist and return the recommendations to the patient's primary care provider for treatment.  

eConsult services are typically used by health systems to lower readmission rates and manage emergency department and discharge follow-up.
