Stanley - Senior Technologies Helps Protect Hospital Patients and Short-Term Rehab Residents With A New Fall Monitoring Tool
Disposable Sensor Pad Offers Individual Monitoring for Short Term Stays
Indianapolis, IN – Furthering its commitment to patient and resident safety in the healthcare industry, Senior Technologies, a division of Stanley Security Solutions, Inc., announces the TABS PSD Sensor Pad, an point-of-care monitor system designed specifically for individual patient use up to seven days. The TABS PSD is a disposable sensor pad that allows staff to monitor and help ensure the safety of patients while preserving freedom of mobility within hospital and rehab facilities.
The TABS PSD Sensor Pads are a simple option for nurses and staff who continuously face the evolving challenges of protecting patients at risk of falling in a restraint-free environment. Patients and residents who frequently get up in the middle of the night are at increased risk for falls and injury as they become disoriented and move throughout the facility, lose their balance, and fall without staff knowledge. TABS PSD Sensor Pads, when interfaced with TABS Professional Monitors, provide a restraint-free system that alerts staff and provides gentle, dignified customizable voice feedback that helps keep patients in their beds until help can arrive. Senior Technologies demonstrates its commitment to patient safety and meets the needs of caregivers with the introduction of the first patient-specific disposable sensor pad.
TABS PSD allows hospital facilities to allocate financial resources and personnel efficiently, helping to increase productivity while decreasing healthcare costs. The TABS® PSD Sensor Pads help to improve individual patient care more cost effectively than sterilizing and reusing long-term sensor pads. Disposable and designed for single-patient use, they also help to eliminate infection control concerns associated with the re-use of pads on multiple patients. Since hospitals can be short-staffed during night hours or in other situations, these pads can in many cases offer a viable alternative to "sitters," thereby helping to decrease expenses.
"The introduction of the TABS PSD Sensor Pads provides a state of the art solution to new JCAHO fall management program requirements" said Raleigh Ormerod, Marketing Director for Senior Technologies. "Healthcare professionals, patients and their families will be comforted by the point-of-care monitoring these pads offer, which is also a real advantage for staff who are committed to providing quality care for patients and residents everyday."
