The Defensive Monitoring™ Solution.
In sports, the saying goes that the best offense is a good defense. That’s the idea behind our new solution called Prefense™—Early Detection & Notification System™. It allows “defensive monitoring” to be performed throughout the hospital, even in areas where no patient monitoring traditionally occurs.
The Prefense system consists of:
- A new, low-acuity detection system interface that is simple, easy to use and cost-effective
- NTX™ wireless telemetry transmitters connected to Prefense
- Pagers for nurses, Rapid Response Team members and other care givers in need of notification
At the first sign of patient distress, Prefense gives caregivers the vital information they need to activate a Rapid Response Team—closing the gap of time to notify a clinician for intervention of care and reducing the chance of a costly ICU admission. Quicker assessments and interventions lead to reduced ALOS resulting in better bed utilization and throughput. Additionally, since your patients’ vital signs are automatically collected, they seamlessly integrate to your EMR.
