Technology and automation will have to play a vital role in helping the healthcare system keep up with the growing demand during the nurse shortage era. Technology is already heavily used in our healthcare systems; however, medical record systems make it exceedingly difficult to retrieve specific patient information, often with ineffective algorithms, and alarms that trigger too often, too early, too late, or not at all. This has negative consequences on patient outcomes as it significantly increases clinical workload and is helping fuel the nurse shortage. The problems were well documented in the article \u201cDeath by 1000 Clicks\u201d. Technology platforms have been created to help with the overall efficiency of nurses and physicians using EHR systems. Many of these platforms are FDA-approved Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), but these solutions have yet to be readily adopted by most systems.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fdf7ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5fdf7ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Why is the physician and nurse shortage becoming more common?

AWARE Patient Surveillance\u2122 provides remote patient monitoring, patient surveillance, autonomous alerting of patient conditions and bundle delivery status, with indicative and predictive analytics. Combined with a novel clinical decision support interface it reduces provider fatigue, and increases provider efficiency, reducing errors and saving lives. Created by clinicians for clinicians, AWARE\u2122 delivers real-time virtual ICU &amp; virtual acute care surveillance, situational awareness, and actionable information to the entire care team, improving outcomes and reducing costs in critical care and general acute inpatient areas.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-057247b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"057247b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In addition to providing virtual ICU and acute camera functionality, AWARE\u2019s (Ambient Warning and Response Evaluation) Patient Surveillance\u2122 and virtual ICU and virtual acute solution is designed to provide bedside and remote patient monitoring from anywhere using data visualization and clinical analytics. The AWARE\u2122 Multi-Patient Viewer (MPV) and Single-Patient Viewer (SPV) allow all nurses and physicians to view a patient through the eyes of an intensivist regardless of location. Critical and acute care requires turning massive amounts of raw data into actionable knowledge and many of the current EHR tools at your disposal make this much more complicated than necessary.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-739c080 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"739c080\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The combination of effective predictive analytics and advanced real-time clinical decision support tools helps to reduce errors, improve patient outcomes, reduce the cost of care, and deliver best-care practices for ICUs and other acute care areas including skilled and long-term nursing and hospital-at-home. AWARE\u2019s predictive analytics system provides a \u201csmart view\u201d via data visualization of Electronic Health Record data that reduces the risk of medical errors and improves patient outcomes with high-reliability healthcare. It works with your EHR\/EMR and bedside monitors to present only relevant information for care delivery. This minimizes information overload, which is a leading cause of medical errors and results in a lower cost of care. By facilitating quick access to a patient&#8217;s information at the point of care and in remote patient monitoring centers using AWARE\u2019s Clinical Control Tower\u2122, Ambient aids interventional decision-making and is proven to reduce the incidence of cognitive errors by 50%.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c56308 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8c56308\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In conclusion, the physician shortage and nursing shortage are continuing to grow with multiple contributing factors that cannot be solved without the help of innovative technology. Technology and automation play a vital role in helping healthcare systems keep up with the growing demand for technology. Poorly designed and ineffective algorithms trigger alarms either too often, too early, too late, or not at all, causing negative effects on patient outcomes, and adding significantly to clinical staffing needs. Implementing FDA-compliant solutions like Ambient increase the accuracy of these systems, reduce errors, improve patient outcomes, and improve clinical staff effectiveness to help put the joy back into patient care.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68c9e4e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"68c9e4e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>1Becker\u2019s Hospital Review, Most burned-out specialty sees record number of unmatched residency positions, <span style=\"color: #091392;\"><a style=\"color: #091392;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beckershospitalreview.com\/quality\/hospital-physician-relationships\/most-burned-out-specialty-sees-record-number-of-unmatched-residency-positions\/?origin=BHRE&amp;utm_source=BHRE&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=newsletter&amp;oly_enc_id=6899D9320367E8A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.beckershospitalreview.com\/hospital-physician-relationships\/most-burned-out-specialty-sees-record-number-of-unmatched-residency-positions.html?origin=BHRE&amp;utm_source=BHRE&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=newsletter&amp;oly_enc_id=6899D9320367E8A, March 15, 2023<\/a><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NURSING AND PHYSICIAN SHORTAGE \ufeffAmbient\u2019s Sepsis Solution Helps Solve Sepsis Alert Errors&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4016","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
