Patient safety has always been a top priority for hospitals and care teams, but with rising acuity levels and strained clinical staff, providing safe and effective care has never been more complex. Fall prevention, better rest and recovery for patients, and improving patient mobility are all essential components of providing quality care, but developing clinical workflows that support these areas with new insights can be challenging. By working together to identify opportunities for improvement and using emerging AI data to inform decision-making, hospital leaders can ensure that the care they provide is safe, effective, and patient-centered.
“We are excited about our collaboration with LookDeep to use AI to expand virtual safety, nursing and medical services to support our staff and improve patient care,” said Dr. Paul DePriest, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for Baptist Memorial Health Care.
While preventing falls is critical in the hospital, increasing patient mobility is critical to a strong recovery. LookDeep AI tracks where the patient is and how they are moving – even if they are in bed. This creates a never before available data stream of patient movement that can be correlated with clinical interventions and patient progression.
Delirium is a broadly present issue that waxes and wanes — current intermittent monitoring can miss these cycles. With AI continuously monitoring movement patterns, day and night inversion, and other changes in patient actions can help provide clinicians with additional data points when assessing delirium.
Sleep is medicine. Disruptions to sleep are everywhere in the hospital. LookDeep AI helps quantify the overnight period to understand how nights compare and the level and degree of patient and bedside activity.
While patient acuity is rising, medical staffing is not. This limits clinical attention for patients, increases provider burnout. Continuous monitoring that increases attention and information about patients without placing additional burden on staff can aid in alleviating stress by reducing the fear of not being there for patients.
