CareView Communications, Inc. ("CareView" or the "Company")
(OTCQB:CRVW), an information technology provider to the healthcare
industry, announced today the introduction of its new CareView Connect™
Patient Monitoring and Communications module ("CareView Connect").
CareView Connect allows hospital staff to easily and effectively view,
communicate with and manage patients in real-time from an integrated
hand-held mobile device. CareView Connect’s mobile monitoring
application allows nursing staff to access the tools provided on the
CareView System® to monitor their patients and respond to
alarms and alerts for specific patient care to increase patient safety
and decrease falls. Successful beta testing of CareView Connect in
numerous CareView-driven hospitals found a greater reduction in patient
falls when compared to using CareView's Fall Management Program without
the mobile application.
CareView Connect also allows for secure voice, text and email
communications with staff located anywhere in the hospital. Through
integration with the hospital’s phone system, users can also place calls
to the patient’s physician or other caregivers, speeding up the delivery
of care and improving quality. CareView Connect became available to all
CareView customers on February 1, 2014.
CareView Connect interfaces seamlessly with all components of the
CareView System specifically including Virtual Bed Rails®,
Virtual Chair Rails™, and CareView's fall management and ulcer
management tools. A notifications feature allows for incoming voice and
text communications and alarms and alerts from the CareView System as
well as third party systems. It includes a smart hospital directory
allowing users an easy way to locate staff or patients within each
department or room within the facility. CareView Connect provides secure
individual and group texting and voice paging and messaging. Designed to
be HIPAA-compliant, no information is stored on the CareView Connect
mobile device and data is encrypted while in transit within a
CareView-driven facility.
The CareView Connect mobile application is currently available for
Android with an Apple iOS application coming soon.
The Company will showcase the CareView Connect mobile application later
this month at the Healthcare Information & Management Systems Society
(HIMSS) 2014 conference to be held February 23-26 in Orlando.
