Summary
University Hospitals (UH) in Cleveland is enhancing its remote patient monitoring capabilities by implementing Masimo Radius VSM technology for continuous, wireless patient surveillance across its facilities. This initiative, which began with a pilot program before the pandemic, will now enable real-time monitoring of vital signs for 1,500 hospital beds, allowing both pediatric and adult patients to be observed while maintaining their mobility. The technology aims to improve patient safety, enrich the patient experience, and streamline hospital operations, reflecting a growing trend in healthcare to incorporate advanced monitoring solutions. As hospitals increasingly adopt such systems, the implications for patient care and operational efficiency could lead to more effective management of healthcare resources and improved clinical outcomes.
