SUREnursing™ Advisor Solutions For You
- Freedom from Alarm Noise: the SUREnursing™ Advisor notifications to nurses are silent in the room.
- Comfort: With the sensor pad under the mattress or a chair cushion, the sweaty discomfort of the pad is gone.
- A good night’s uninterrupted sleep.
- Greater safety because nursing is quickly made aware of an unseen fall risk situation.
- Skin Care: Because the pad is placed under a mattress or cushion it does not impede the ability of the therapeutic surface to reduce pressure.
- Nurses can see how long the resident has been in the same position and adjust the resident to help reduce possible skin issues.
For Bedside Nurses
- Awareness of individual needs: At start of each shift a real time report on fall and skin risk activity during the prior 24 hours.
- Awareness of risk change events: A notification on their digital device
- Relative patient calm: a quite environment without fall risk alarms. The SURE® monitor is silent.
- Confidence of expectation: one nurse accepts a notification and responds after touching the screen to advise other responders of the acceptance.
- Easier reporting of what happened: Facts of who, what and when are recorded and a reporting document for added detail is filled out in the room.
- End of shift reporting: detail of what happened relating to bed or chair risk activity is available for ready reference.
- Less wasted time:
- Because the intelligent STEALTH™ sensor pad is under a mattress, or a chair cushion, it is unlikely to come in to contact with bodily fluids requiring clean up.
- Because the sensor pad is under the mattress the need to reposition when making up the bed disappears. Meaning that cost in time is eliminated.
- Work overload: Management reports show the frequency and timing of nursing responses allowing management to make needed adjustments.
