The use of remote visual monitoring (RVM) technology as a "telesitter" in hospitals can reduce falls and increase the efficiency of patient observation.
This study aimed to examine RVM effectiveness as a strategy to decrease patient falls and investigate nurses' acceptance and perceived usefulness of RVM technology.
Remote visual monitoring was implemented within a health system in the Southeastern United States. Falls data 6 months prior to and postimplementation were analyzed, and 106 nurses completed a survey evaluating their acceptance of the RVM technology.
There was a significant 39.15% reduction in falls with injury ( P = .006), and 70.6% of the RVM redirections were successful. Nurses' acceptance and perceived usefulness of RVM were moderate.
Implementing RVM has the potential to enhance patient safety by reducing falls with injuries and is considered acceptable and useful by nurses.
在医院中使用远程视觉监测（RVM）技术作为“远程监护仪”可减少跌倒并提高患者观察效率。
本研究旨在检验RVM作为减少患者跌倒策略的有效性，并调查护士对RVM技术的接受度和感知有用性。
在美国东南部的一个卫生系统内实施了远程视觉监测。分析了实施前后6个月的跌倒数据，106名护士完成了一项评估他们对RVM技术接受度的调查。
受伤跌倒显著减少了39.15%（P = .006），RVM重新定向的成功率为70.6%。护士对RVM的接受度和感知有用性为中等。
实施RVM有可能通过减少受伤跌倒来提高患者安全，并且护士认为其是可接受且有用的。
