Among the undoubtedly most important goals for any healthcare facility, two are indispensable: safeguarding the physical well-being of fragile patients and tracking care parameters.
Raising the overall level of safety, in terms of “safety” (physical well-being) and “security” (risk prevention), is a moral imperative for those responsible for managing healthcare processes. However, it is not always easy to protect and prevent in environments where emergencies are a daily occurrence.
Efficiency protocols and the simplification of repetitive tasks can certainly lead to a reduction in unforeseen issues. Still, to allow staff to focus on more qualified professional activities, it is necessary to reassess processes using active monitoring tools, risk prevention measures, and predictive artificial intelligence.
This approach drastically increases levels of safety and security while reducing management costs. Staff, more effectively employed, can focus on what truly matters, knowing that any potential alarm will trigger automatic alerts, giving them the time to reach the patient promptly thanks to a highly parameterized system.
Patient well-being must also be closely monitored during rehabilitation to assess improvement based on precise and certified data. For example, the time taken by a person in rehabilitation to reach the bathroom or perform simple daily tasks, if constantly monitored, can effectively complement clinical analyses, providing a more comprehensive view of the individual patient’s situation and their activity levels at different times. Analyzing all these indicators is part of the safety and monitoring process that only e-health can ensure.
Equipping facilities with these tools means laying the foundation for a safe, efficient, effective, and virtuous system, as the investments made quickly pay off economically.
Patient safety and rehabilitation monitoring are already established realities. Human error or distraction is always around the corner, especially under stress. Implementing these digital health solutions in all facilities is the challenge we must overcome to have modern and welcoming environments where patient well-being and staff tranquility are guaranteed 24/7. Let healthcare professionals perform at their best. Every citizen will benefit from it.
