OUR HICUITY HEALTH SITTER SERVICE UPDATES THE TRADITIONAL IN-ROOM SITTER FUNCTION

In recent years, the demand for patient monitoring has grown, while the availability of dedicated in-room sitters has not kept pace. Our Virtual Sitter services offer an efficient solution to this challenge at the lowest price on the market. Through advanced Virtual Sitter technologies, a relatively small team of virtual sitters can effectively oversee the safety and well-being of a large number of patients, helping hospitals to meet modern standards of care and patient safety.

Comprehensive Virtual Sitter Solutions

Virtual sitting delivers the same level of effective fall prevention and safety as in-person sitters with 80+% cost savings. We provide numerous healthcare facilities of all sizes with high-quality, cost-effective, and streamlined Virtual Sitter monitoring, both for existing setups and new implementations. Our Virtual Sitter services are designed to cater to the unique needs of hospitals and healthcare facilities by providing a comprehensive suite of solutions to enhance patient monitoring and safety:

• Real-Time Monitoring: Our Virtual Sitter systems provide 24/7 real-time monitoring of patients, ensuring immediate intervention when necessary.
• Fall Prevention: By continuously observing patients, our Virtual Sitter services help prevent falls and other incidents, significantly reducing the risk of injury.
• Behavioral Management: Our trained virtual sitters can effectively manage patient behavior, providing a calming presence and immediate response to distress.
• Enhanced Communication: Virtual Sitters facilitate better communication between patients and healthcare staff, ensuring that patient needs are promptly addressed.

Safety Monitoring and Intervention Capabilities

Hicuity Health virtual sitters continuously monitor designated patients for indications of risk events, such as falls, elopement, pulling at lines, and delirium. The service is enabled by robust a/v capabilities and facility-specific escalation paths. When a patient risk is identified, our specialists can intervene using several methods:

1. Verbally redirecting the patient.
2. Contacting the designated floor “runner”.
3. Activating a distinct in-room alert to prompt urgent intervention from nearby floor staff.

Virtual sitter service delivers an in-room sitter level of safety with significant cost, administrative, and flexibility benefits. Studies have shown that addressing chronic and increasing shortages in specialist sitter coverage enables enhanced performance and helps improve patient outcomes. The goal is to improve clinical outcomes while decreasing the costs of care per patient.
