Virtual Nursing is the Future for Sepsis Solutions
Ambient Clinical is at the forefront of clinical innovation, making strides in providing technology engineered to alleviate both the nurse and physician shortage and combating life-threatening conditions like sepsis. Ambient provides virtual nursing solutions and virtual physician solutions that allow clinicians to monitor and receive targeted Smart Notifications for patient monitoring. This article explores how Ambient is revolutionizing patient care through virtual nursing and groundbreaking monitoring solutions like Ambient’s AWARE and Sepsis DART solutions. The advancements in virtual nursing and telehealth have allowed for a leap in patient monitoring especially in sepsis solutions by enabling doctors and nurses to see the issue much earlier and through ensuring the appropriate care is delivered to the patient.
Virtual nursing solutions that monitor the patient's entire condition and include specific conditions like Sepsis, AKI, Shock, etc.. enhance patient care, improve outcomes, and streamline health care delivery. The integration of sepsis solutions with virtual nursing creates a comprehensive and proactive approach to addressing the challenges posed by sepsis. They are tied together by early detection and monitoring, patient education and engagement, and remote patient monitoring. All these factors help contribute to the larger goal of sepsis solutions: catching and stopping the issue early.
Telehealth is Granting a New Look for Sepsis Solutions
Different telehealth sectors have been developing for years, with technological advancements allowing nurses and doctors to monitor patients from afar using audio and visual. Still, with the rapid urgency during the pandemic to create new technology, we have seen rapid growth, allowing for a broader range of what telehealth can do. Historically, in hospitals, telehealth has been limited to tele-ICU solutions. Today’s telehealth has advanced beyond just audio visual to clinical decision support and data visualization across the entire hospital system. This helps doctors (like hospitalist) and nurses to monitor patients at risk of certain clinical issues like sepsis across the entire organization, not just in the ICU. With today’s technology, monitoring patients is no longer limited to the four walls of the ICU or even the hospital. Wearable devices to monitor blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and other important vitals allow patients to be monitored at skilled nursing facilities and at home.
Sepsis solutions begin by recognizing that sepsis is present in an individual. With modern telehealth technology, we can collect data in real time and predict which patients are more likely to struggle with a condition using indicative, AI, and machine learning algorithms. The development in this field, specifically in the past three years, has hurdled the previous 30 years. Algorithms create more insight and notify doctors of early signs of sepsis and other conditions.
The Rise of Virtual Nursing and Telehealth
Virtual nursing is a direct result of the rise in telehealth advancements and has offered a new and beneficial look into how we treat patients suffering from various sicknesses and diseases. These advancements couldn’t come at a better time, too. With healthcare workers steadily declining, the job vacancies in hospitals have led to massive nursing shortages, a larger workload for RNs, and longer wait times for individuals who need medical attention. Virtual nurses can efficiently monitor multiple patients at once and help deliver care to patients faster.
Developments in Government Action for Sepsis Solutions
Recent changes in government health care regulations place a significant emphasis on delivery of care metrics and quality metrics for patient outcomes. Hospitals are increasingly accountable for patient safety and satisfaction. This focus is leading to a more rigorous approach to sepsis management, with an emphasis on early detection, prompt intervention, delivery of care, and monitoring of patient outcomes.
Government healthcare changes may align with a shift towards a more value-based care incentive. Hospitals are incentivized to provide high-quality care efficiently. In the context of sepsis, this means a more integrated and proactive approach to sepsis solutions, emphasizing preventative measures, early diagnosis, and streamlined interventions to minimize complications.
The advancements in virtual nursing have had a very beneficial effect on sepsis solutions.
There is a need in the medical industry for older patients, specifically those 55 and over, to do preventative health screenings. These screenings can help with discovering potential issues in a patient before they become serious. Sepsis is a key factor to look for, because when it does appear, it moves very fast. Through virtual nursing solutions, healthcare providers can intervene promptly in response to Smart notifications for changes in a patient's condition. This proactive approach improves patient outcomes and reduces the strain on healthcare resources by preventing affordable hospital readmissions.
