Patient monitoring system detects early signs of sepsis

Patient monitoring system detects early signs of sepsis

Sepsis patients can be diagnosed and treated earlier with the help of new technology available for hospitals and homecare settings. Healthcare organisations can now use a patient monitoring platform called the Patient Status Engine (PSE) to help doctors and nurses rapidly pick up illness, saving some of the 44,000 lives lost to it each year in the UK.

The Patient Status Engine - Moving higher acuity healthcare closer to home

Almost everyday we hear yet another story of things going wrong in hospitals. Patients do not receive timely care, there are too many adverse events and avoidable deaths and hospital acquired infections are only too common. These are problems faced by all hospital operators in all countries worldwide and arise not because hospital staff are negligent or overworked, but essentially because hospital

The Future of Patient Monitoring is Here...

Vast sums spent dealing with patient safety issues are wasted, unnecessary and unsustainable. Monitoring patients better to know their status at all times is one of the very few proven actions that can be done to address this crisis. The focus needs to shift to one that actively promotes good health practices and move the burden of acute care from the hospital to the home.

Stopping Sepsis in its Tracks

Existing research clearly highlights early detection of patient deterioration is vital to improving patient safety and avoiding preventable deaths. One solution to this is remote monitoring systems that use wireless, sensing and information technologies to continuously collect and analyse patient data, especially from those patients deemed clinically to be most at risk of contracting sepsis.
