Patient Elopement Solution for
IoT-powered real-time patient elopement solutions designed for hospitals, senior living communities, and memory care facilities, providing a safer and more secure environment for residents, patients, and staff.
Mitigating
IoT technology-driven patient wander management system designed to help healthcare facilities mitigate safety risks, including physical harm, emotional distress, legal liabilities, and potential damage to the facility’s reputation.
Seniors with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease may unintentionally wander into unsafe areas, exposing themselves to risks such as falls, traffic accidents, or prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions.
Patients in rehabilitation programs who require close monitoring to ensure they adhere to prescribed care regimens and avoid actions that could hinder their recovery and cause further harm.
Children might wander unsupervised, driven by curiosity or unfamiliarity with their surroundings putting themselves in danger by exploring unauthorized areas or interacting with equipments.
Built for
IoT-enabled patient elopement solutions combine advanced sensors, real-time location systems (RTLS), and smart alerts to create a robust safety net. These systems provide precise tracking and monitoring capabilities that allow caregivers to act quickly and efficiently.
Patients wear discreet IoT-enabled devices, such as wristbands or badges, which continuously transmit their location. These devices are lightweight, comfortable, and designed to minimize interference with daily activities.
These devices communicate with a network of sensors installed throughout the facility, providing up-to-the-moment location data. Staff can view patient movements in real time through a centralized dashboard.
Virtual boundaries can be set up within the facility. Caregivers are alerted immediately if a patient approaches or crosses these boundaries. These geofences can be tailored to individual patient needs and dynamically adjusted as necessary.
Notifications are sent to staff via mobile devices, desktops, or integrated communication systems, enabling rapid response. Alerts can be customized based on severity, ensuring the right team members are informed immediately.
Movement history can be reviewed to identify patterns and improve preventive measures. This data helps facilities analyze high-risk zones and refine care plans for individual patients.
Door locks, cameras, and alarms can be integrated with the solution to prevent unauthorized exits. Automatic lockdown protocols can be activated when a potential elopement is detected.
How does Patient Elopement
IoT and real-time tracking solution offering unparalleled advantages for healthcare facilities, including enhanced patient safety, streamlined operations, and compliance with regulatory standards enabling proactive monitoring and rapid response.
Real-time location data ensures that at-risk patients are continuously monitored, reducing the likelihood of elopement and ensuring swift intervention when needed. Staff can respond proactively rather than reactively, enhancing overall safety.
Automated alerts eliminate the need for manual checks, allowing staff to focus on providing care rather than constant monitoring. Facilities can also optimize staffing levels based on movement patterns and risk zones, ensuring resources are allocated effectively.
Many healthcare facilities are required to implement safety measures to minimize patient elopement risks. IoT solutions help meet these requirements while maintaining high standards of care. Compliance with regulations can also improve accreditation and reduce liability risks.
Family members and caregivers gain confidence knowing that their loved ones are protected by state-of-the-art technology designed to prevent incidents. Transparent reporting and tracking provide reassurance and accountability.
Building a culture of
Scalable patient elopement solution for healthcare facilities of all sizes, from small clinics to large hospital networks to help them reduce response times to potential elopement events, ensuring rapid action when needed for better safety of patients and staff.
