SwipeSense Nursing Insights

Adverse events like patient falls, pressure injuries, and medical errors cause unnecessary harm to patients and heavy costs to hospitals. Hourly nurse rounding and bedside shift reporting are proven to reduce these never events — but hospitals have little visibility into how effectively these preventive measures are being practiced in their facility.

SwipeSense Nursing Insights gathers hourly rounding and bedside shift reporting compliance data automatically to improve patient care and reduce hospital costs. The solution provides actionable insights on a simple dashboard in a timely manner, enabling leadership to pinpoint where specific improvements can be made.

SwipeSense Rounding Monitor

SwipeSense Rounding Monitor helps front-line hospital staff prevent adverse events and improve patient satisfaction in real-time. With Rounding Monitor, staff can immediately identify which patients have had the longest gap in care while on the unit and prioritize addressing their needs. The color-coded monitor shows each patient room, a timestamp indicating the last staff visit, and the amount of time that has elapsed since the room was rounded. This at-a-glance data can help nurses support each other, allowing them to check in on a colleague’s patients when they’re with someone that requires extended care.

How It Works

CAREGIVER BADGE REEL

Clinical staff receive personal badge reels, enabling nursing managers to identify opportunities for operational improvement. Badge reels are unobtrusive and long lasting. Nursing visits are captured seamlessly without impact to clinical workflow.

LOCATION HUBS

Location Hubs are located in each patient room or care area to continuously capture caregiver visits. This ensures that nursing time at the bedside is measured without adding additional screening. The Hubs use a single wall socket, making installation simple and inconspicuous.

COMMUNICATION HUBS

Bedside shift and rounding data is relayed from all devices to Communication Hubs located in centralized work areas such as nursing stations. Data is then delivered over existing hospital WiFi or Ethernet to secure servers for analysis. Communication Hubs require one wall socket for installation.
