When you picture the hospital of the future, it’s hard to imagine patient rooms without remote monitoring, virtual observation and some form of AI as core capabilities. The integration of virtual care and AI at the bedside is fueling a transformative shift in healthcare delivery that will allow for these types of patient rooms. Inpatient care programs like virtual nursing, virtual sitting and virtual rounding are already helping health systems offset challenges while delivering significant benefits for patients and staff.
These building blocks buy back time for staff, enabling them to focus on tasks that are more impactful. This also enables organizations to increase ratios where appropriate, which leads to real-dollar ROI. The three areas of impact are:
1.Resource cost reduction.
2.Clinical cost deferment.
3.Savings from recouped bedside hours.
As care continues to evolve, organizations that have embraced virtual engagement and AI at the bedside will have the infrastructure and experience necessary to seamlessly incorporate new technologies and care models, ensuring they remain at the forefront of healthcare innovation.
