With increasing acuity and simultaneous pressures for optimal productivity, reducing unnecessary patient companions has been a focus for many health care organizations. At the same time, nursing leaders are seeking to accelerate improvement in patient safety, specifically the prevention of falls. This study suggests the use of remote video monitoring is a safe tool for fall prevention. While there was a decrease in 1:1 sitter usage, there was no corollary increase in falls. In fact, falls decreased 35%. Not only was video monitoring a safe intervention, it was more effective than patient companions alone in decreasing falls by expanding the number of patients who are directly observed 24/7.
随着患者病情日益严重，同时面临着提高最佳医疗效率的压力，减少不必要的患者陪伴人员已成为许多医疗保健机构关注的焦点。与此同时，护理负责人一直在寻求加快提高患者安全水平，特别是预防跌倒。这项研究表明，使用远程视频监控是预防跌倒的一种安全工具。虽然一对一陪护人员的使用有所减少，但跌倒事件并没有相应增加。事实上，跌倒事件减少了35%。视频监控不仅是一种安全的干预措施，而且通过扩大全天候直接观察的患者数量，在减少跌倒方面比单纯的患者陪伴更有效。
