Tele Patient Monitoring (TPM)
Patient Harm and Falls - a real problem plaguing healthcare provides globally
- Falls have been identified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as an event that is preventable and should never occur. CMS has also identified “falls and trauma” on its list of Hospital Acquired Conditions (HAC) for which reimbursement will be limited, specifically for falls that result in fractures, dislocations and intracranial injuries.
- Tens of thousands of patients fall in health care facilities every year and many of these falls result in moderate to severe injuries.
- Each of these injuries, on average, add 6.3 days to the hospital stay and cost about $14,056.
As a “Chasing Zero” partner organization, How do Karma TPM services work?
- Karma’s TPM Solution is right for you: Today hospital staff are currently assigned or worse reassigned as physical bedside attendants
- By introducing Karma TPM: PCTs, CNAs, MA’s and RN’s are freed up to focus on other forms of patient care
- Hospitals often cannot afford to implement physical techs in every patient’s room
- Because TPM is very cost-effective, its use allows hospitals to widen the population monitored, increasing patient safety
