Goal: Reduce Falls
Falling is one of the most common incidents to create additional complications for patients during their hospital stays. About 25% of these falls result in injury, which increases patient care costs and creates a longer hospital stay for the patient. (National Center for Biotechnology Information)
Goal: Reduce infection rates (Sepsis)
Each year, at least 1.7 million adults in the United States develop sepsis, with 1 in 3 patients dying from the infection. (CDC) Sepsis is the most expensive condition treated in U.S. hospitals, costing billions each year in prolonged hospital stays and treatment therapies. (NIGMS)
Goal: Imaging efficiency
It is important to remember procedures such as CT Scans, MRI, fluoroscopy, and nuclear medicine imaging pose risks as well as benefits. Imaging exams can expose patients to radiation, unwarranted stress, risks, and high costs. (FDA)
