The Baptist Medical Center in Jacksonville, Fla., is using a cutting-edge technology to increase patient care and prevent falls, according to an article on the ActionNewJax website.
The high-tech system uses digital lines to draw a safety zone around patients to provide continual monitoring.
Baptist Medical Center is running the 90-day pilot program with hopes the hospital can decrease falls if the system alerts them to a patient crossing the infrared boundary.
“We want the patient to be safe in our hospital and so we are looking for every way to continue and enhance that as we can. This is just another way to try a technology we think will allow us to be a little bit safer,” hospital president Michael Mayo said in the article.
