Mobile monitoring system transforms bedside care
The Mobile Monitoring Transformation Project, supported by the Sickbay Clinical Platform will allow care team members to access data from cardiac monitors and all connected bedside devices on workstations, PCs, phones and tablets. The new web-based technology will transform bedside care and greatly enhance collaboration among care team members. A pilot was run last year, and units in different buildings will begin using the new technology this week, with a larger rollout planned.
