Flexible monitoring. Bringing technology to the patient.
Flexible monitoring helped to establish an intermediate care unit, close an intensive care unit (ICU) and reduce cost by decreasing length of stay (LOS) and matching patients to appropriate care. These efforts saved the hospital $3,260,215 over the first year while maintaining positive patient outcomes.
