Texas Rehabilitation Facility is the First in the DFW Metroplex to Expand Patient Monitoring Capabilities with The Vios Monitoring System with PointClickCare Integration

Vios Medical and Presbyterian Village North deploy wireless, continuous vital signs monitoring platform to enhance patient care.

DALLAS, Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- To enhance around-the-clock monitoring of post-acute cardiopulmonary patients, Vios Medical, partnered with Forefront Livings' Presbyterian Village North (PVN) to deploy the Vios Monitoring System. PVN is the first senior living community in the DFW Metroplex to install and utilize a telemetry monitoring system that continuously monitors and seamlessly uploads stored data into PointClickCare.

The Vios Monitoring System is a wireless, FDA-cleared patient monitoring platform designed to improve patient safety and outcomes. The system continuously monitors 7-lead ECG, heart rate, oxygen levels_, pulse rate, respiratory rate and posture.

PVN uses the platform's remote monitoring services to support its staff as they work to manage medical care and reduce rehospitalizations. A remote team of cardiac-trained technicians monitors patients' vital signs 24/7/365 and alerts the on-site care team in real time if there is a change in a patient's condition.

"We are excited to have this tool to assist PVN's clinical team in providing exceptional care to those we serve,"  Tierra Palmer, Director of Healthcare at Presbyterian Village North.

The Vios Monitoring System is designed to make post-acute continuous vital signs monitoring more accessible than traditional methods. It works on existing IT networks and Wi-Fi, rather than requiring separate infrastructure, and allows patients to be wirelessly monitored throughout a community.

"Being able to quickly understand and react to changes in a patient's condition is an essential part of patient safety and care," said Drew Hardin, Vice President of Vios Medical. "The Vios Monitoring System with remote monitoring services gives Presbyterian Village North's care teams a comprehensive view of their patients' health, while eliminating the burden of monitoring oversight on their clinical staff. Patients and their families appreciate knowing that someone is vigilantly overseeing their well-being at all times."
