“The reduction is attributed to the physicians having greater confidence that the patients were being checked, and ObservSMART’s ability to allow for tighter observation intervals, i.e., 5 or 7 minutes, as opposed to defaulting to a 1:1.”
“We have seen an overall 50% reduction in orders for (1:1) constant observations. Staffing constraints are considerable so this also frees-up our ability to admit more patients.”
