In 2011, the largest healthcare facility in Nebraska, the Nebraska Medical Center, implemented video monitoring in patient rooms requiring around-the-clock observation in order to improve patient safety and reduce staffing costs, according to an article in Campus Security magazine.
The hospital had previously placed a staff member in the room to monitor the patient — and it was typical for the medical center to have two or three dozen patients being watched on any given day, according to Campus Security.
The medical center used Sentrix Security Solutions as their vendor for the project, and the article offers details on the choices made regarding what type of cameras to use, installation and the training required for monitoring.
