Keeping Med-Surg Patients Safe and Comfortable
As your patients work toward recovery, the last thing they need is avoidable complications. Our solutions can help you manage preventable risks and keep patients safe and comfortable while they’re under your care. We work alongside our customers to integrate our solutions into their patient safety protocols focused on patient falls, hospital-associated infections, pressure injuries, medication errors, patient deterioration and patient mobility.
Vital Signs Monitoring that Supports Infection Control
Detect potential patient changes and help reduce exposure risks with the right equipment.
With continuous vital monitoring, your team can see early signs of hospital-associated infections (HAI) and receive alerts for patients who need immediate attention.
Choosing wall-mounted monitors means the equipment stays with a single patient, helping reduce cross-contamination risk from moving devices.
Detect Patient Deterioration Earlier
Signs of deterioration can be detected as early as 6 to 8 hours before an event or arrest.1 With the right intelligence, keeping your patients on the path to recovery isn’t a question of if—but when. Continuous patient monitoring can help you spot indicators before they become emergencies. In fact, it’s been shown to help hospitals achieve:
- Up to 86% reduction in code blues2
- 45% shorter ICU stays for med/surg transfer patients2
- 9% shorter med/surg stays2
Reduce Pressure Injuries
When you’re helping patients recover, the last thing you need is a pressure injury working against you. Pressure injuries are all too common in hospitals and long-term care facilities. Pressure injuries are associated with:
• longer length of stay3
• higher mortality rate3
• higher readmission rate within 30 days3

Connect Teams with Speed
When workloads rise, efficient communication and collaboration become critical. The Med-Surg team coordinates with multiple physicians and hospital departments for each patient, increasing the complexity of coordination and communication. With unified clinical communications, we can help your team quickly share information and collaborate on patient treatment plans. We can also provide a consolidated view of key patient data, including alerts and alarms, bed status, rounding reminders, risk indicators, and more.
