The NHS must establish 24,000 Virtual Ward beds by December 2023 to support a targeted increase of 30% in elective care procedures by 2025. Masimo SafetyNet®, a Digital Health platform from Masimo, can help deliver effective technology-enabled “Virtual Ward” outside of the hospital, using reliable, trusted, proven and privacy-compliant solutions for timely detection, prevention, and treatment of patients. Virtual Wards aim to achieve admission avoidance, early discharge, increasing workforce efficiency and enhancing patient experience.
Masimo SafetyNet®, is more than just an app, its clinical portal offers over 150 customisable live care programs, at no charge, across the full range of patient pathways, both “pre” and “post” hospital stay. Both a command centre and a patient-centric view are provided to support review of the data in a variety of ways. Patients and acute care providers connect via the secure, NHS NDG compliant Masimo SafetyNet network, enabling 2-way audio and video communication on a 24/7 patient specific basis. Masimo SafetyNet can be integrated seamlessly with existing Electronic Health Records, keeping all patient data in one easy to access location.
Wireless wearable sensors, both spot-check and continuous, are seamlessly integrated via Bluetooth with patient’s own mobile devices. Masimo SET® Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion technology ensures high hospital-grade monitoring standards for all patient populations. Alert limits, designed to automatically notify the acute care providers when the patient shows signs of deterioration, allow providers to target interventions and prioritise patient management as needed.
For Patients: Technology-enabled Virtual Wards help assure higher-acuity patients that they remain under the watchful eye of clinicians even following discharge to their own home.
For Acute Care Providers: Masimo SafetyNet offers advanced automation features so institutions can more easily deploy home monitoring, track patient compliance, identify when intervention may be required, and prioritise patient needs whilst maintaining the ability to scale up to meet patient demand.
For NHS Leaders: Masimo SafetyNet is an effective, easily deployed turnkey solution designed to address the challenge of rapidly establishing and operating Virtual Wards whilst optimising use of clinical resources.
Masimo offers an end-to-end approach to help NHS providers implement Virtual Wards with the Masimo SafetyNet app currently available at no charge for NHS Trusts. The Masimo SafetyNet Virtual Ward solution is an example of a scalable, adaptable Virtual Ward offering, with functionalities summarised below. These functions can be added or removed as the clinical needs change.
