Key Takeaways
-
Ocuvera’s AI-enabled technology identifies patient movements that signal a likely unassisted bed exit, helping staff intervene before a fall occurs.
-
Successful adoption depends on involving frontline staff early, integrating alerts into existing workflows, and providing ongoing training to build trust and reduce resistance.
-
Predictive tech needs more than just hardware; it relies on strong Wi-Fi, integrated nurse call systems, and proper alert routing. A solid infrastructure is key to reliable performance.
-
Hospitals using predictive systems have cut unassisted bed exits by 60% and saved millions by reducing sitter costs and fall-related penalties, while also boosting staff satisfaction.
-
Ocuvera’s platform has potential beyond fall prevention, including pressure injury prevention and rounding compliance. This is just the beginning of smarter, safer care delivery.
