CareView Communications has secured a national group purchasing agreement for virtual care solutions with healthcare improvement company Premier, effective from 1 September.

The new deal will aid Premier members to access special pricing and terms for CareView's virtual nursing, virtual sitting, and software and hardware solutions.

CareView's Patient Safety System, utilising AI and patented predictive technology, is created to enhance patient safety and reduce costs associated with in-person sitters.

The system's Virtual Bed Rails and Virtual Chair Rails allow continuous monitoring of patients from a centralised location.

The Patient Care System, utilising CareView’s technology, transforms virtual nursing by reallocating tasks to virtual Registered Nurses (vRNs).

This shift aids in alleviating the bedside workload and fostering virtual engagement with patients and their families, leading to personalised care and improved patient experiences.

Premier connects nearly 4,350 hospitals in the US and 325,000 providers and organisations.

With over 200 hospital collaborations, CareView supports teams with its virtual care solutions, addressing the needs of virtual nursing and sitting.

The company's platform, backed by predictive technology and purpose-built hardware, aims to enhance patient safety and address staffing challenges.

The CareView team collaborates with hospital partners to deliver customised virtual care strategies that meet their evolving needs.

By equipping healthcare professionals with innovative tools, CareView aims to improve patient outcomes and contribute to a sustainable healthcare ecosystem.

CareView Communications chief operating officer Sandra McRee said: “CareView is pleased to have been awarded a national group purchasing agreement with Premier under the virtual care category.

“Our products deliver value to hospitals and health systems across the country, enhancing patient safety and experience while delivering a sound return on investment, and we are excited to leverage this agreement to expand our impact.”

In May this year, the company launched ‘Software Version 5.12’, marking a significant advancement in its virtual care technology and patient safety.
