The Proven Leader in Reducing Adverse Events
Clients’ Research Makes Evidence-based Case for the AvaSure TeleSitter®
No other vendor in the virtual monitoring space has anything like AvaSure’s reference list of peer-reviewed journal articles, posters and podium presentations showing its efficacy in preventing harm across the healthcare enterprise.
An early series of successes for AvaSure’s TeleSitter® Solution was in inpatient falls, one of the most common preventable adverse events in healthcare. Hospitals that have fully realized virtual monitoring programs routinely see reductions in fall rates of at least 50%.
In the past few years customers have discovered the potential of the TeleSitter to protect staff from violent patients and visitors, keep suicidal patients safe, stop elopements, maximize nursing resources and reduce costs.
