And it is one piece of the puzzle that is needed to really launch us into the next level of safety. When technology is married with a culture of transparency and with great people who use data to see how their actions affect outcomes, it can be the recipe for marked improvement. Peter Tu and all the great talent at the GE Global Research Center are working alongside GE Healthcare Performance Solutions and innovative hospital partners like Bassett Healthcare in Cooperstown, NY to develop this technology. <br /><br />The solution, called IntelliRoom 360, will be integrated into existing hospital rooms and will help identify the increased patient risk, provide notification in real-time and capture relevant data offline to study underlying process and behavioral trends to ultimately drive cultural change around patient safety. To start, we will monitor numerous variables to warn for Hand Hygiene Compliance, Patient Falls, Pressure Ulcers, and Clinical Rounding Adherence. Like you mentioned above, the system uses a variety of artificial intelligence and sensing technologies to monitor, for example, not only when hand washings actually occurred, but also when hand washings should have occurred. <br /><br />Even small improvements can have a big impact- you have mentioned our calculators before- they are available at http://nextlevel.gehealthcare.com/self-assessment-tools/<br /><br />We will keep you updated as the IntelliRoom 360 evolves.<br /><br />--Justin Shein, GM, Operations Optimization, GE Healthcare Performance SolutionsJustin Sheinhttp://nextlevel.gehealthcare.comnoreply@blogger.com
