Virtual monitoring tools in patients\u2019 rooms across UCHealth\u2019s 15 hospitals have helped save thousands of lives<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A major new upgrade soon will enable interaction between patients, families, and providers while also driving efficiencies that will improve patient care and satisfaction.<\/p>\n

That upgrade brings a new system called hellocare<\/a>, made by Florida-based Solaborate, Inc. The hellocare enhancements tap into hardware, including cameras with computer vision, speakers and microphones perched on televisions in each patient room. These devices already exist in many UCHealth inpatient and emergency department rooms. Leaders plan to install them in the remaining rooms over the next year or so.<\/p>\n

The biggest difference between hellocare and today\u2019s remote patient monitoring systems lies in hellocare\u2019s AI-powered software, which soon will let clinical teams devote more of their attention to pressing patient needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hellocare partnership is significant and brings multiple solutions that are part of our efforts to bring AI into clinical care,\u201d said Dr. Richard Zane<\/a>, UCHealth\u2019s chief medical officer and chief innovation officer. \u201cWe want to allow humans to work at the top of their scope and focus on the tasks, interactions and decisions that machines will never be able to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rollout of hellocare features will start in the next couple of months and continue over the course of two to three years, says Kathy Deanda, UCHealth\u2019s senior director of virtual health, who\u2019s leading the technical aspects of the effort. UCHealth Memorial North Hospital<\/a>\u2019s 36-bed NOVA unit will serve as a testing ground for new features, which will then roll out to other UCHealth hospitals.<\/p>\n

What will hellocare bring to UCHealth patients and providers? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Medical experts say hellocare will improve patient care in a variety of ways from enhancing communication to boosting safety and documentation.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how leaders expect hellocare to work.<\/p>\n

Enabling easy, interactive communication between family members, patients, and doctors<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The hellocare system enables what will feel to patients and families like in-room Zoom meetings, complete with the ability to share medical and other images. It provides for telehealth check-ins with onsite doctors or offsite specialists and can include remote interpreter services on screens. During emergencies, like a stroke, specialists can direct remote care and can augment clinical expertise at UCHealth\u2019s rural community hospitals.<\/p>\n

Assisting nurses with virtual \u2018sitting\u2019 and patient monitoring<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The UCHealth Virtual Health Center already monitors patients for deterioration and sepsis<\/a>. With hellocare, nurses and providers can use AI-monitored video to keep a close watch on patients. They also plan to integrate the use of wearable devices in the future that can track patient vital signs. Experts at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration still need to approve these devices.<\/p>\n

In the near term, hellocare\u2019s AI tools can assess vital issues, like whether a patient who is at risk for bed sores has been turned in the previous two hours. Or if patients shift their positions on their own, the hellocare system resets the clock automatically. Similarly, hellocare can confirm whether providers have washed hands when entering the room or alert nurses if a patient has stood up and is at risk of falling.<\/p>\n

Assisting with automated documentation <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Nurses spend 25-to-40% of their time adding documentation to patients\u2019 records. Patient care, quality, and regulatory requirements \u2014 not to mention the rise of the electronic health record \u2014 have roughly quadrupled the documentation burden facing nurses in recent decades, says Tamera Dunseth Rosenbaum, UCHealth\u2019s chief nursing executive.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI, cameras, and computer technology can not only improve patient safety, but also reduce the documentation burden and other burdens at the bedside that are shifting nurses\u2019 and caregivers\u2019 attention from the patient care where they really want to spend their time,\u201d Rosenbaum said.<\/p>\n

One example of possible future hellocare automated documentation: \u201cIf I\u2019m going to the bedside to start an IV, I can say, \u2018hellocare, I\u2019m starting an 18-gauge IV in the patient\u2019s right antecubital fossa,\u2019 and it will document it for me while I\u2019m doing the task, and I don\u2019t have to go back afterwards and do that documentation,\u201d Rosenbaum said.<\/p>\n

Optimizing digital door signs<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The signs outside of inpatient rooms today may have colored flags or icons reflecting a patient\u2019s status. The hellocare system brings updated digital door signs that more clearly present a patient\u2019s status along with other key information. Because the digital door sign communicates with the hellocare TV-top unit, it lets a provider see if a patient is sleeping and enables communication without entering the room if the patient needs to be isolated to keep them safer.<\/p>\n

Enabling digital whiteboards<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Digital whiteboards replace standard inpatient-room whiteboards, and, as with digital door signs, enable the medical team to present much more comprehensive information about the patient, their schedule, medications, tests, and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s much more transparent to the patient, the provider, and the nursing staff on the unit,\u201d Rosenbaum said.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, hellocare is a flexible platform designed to enable new features to enhance patient care as AI technology grows increasingly sophisticated. The list of features will inevitably grow, and UCHealth is collaborating with Solaborate to lend its expertise in guiding the system\u2019s future development.<\/p>\n

Hellocare itself will be a component of a greater UCHealth technology platform encompassing Abridge\u2019s AI-based ambient physician notetaker<\/a> and other systems, Zane says. That platform will be based on a standard data model capable of feeding AI that can advance medical science, let clinicians focus on patients and not paperwork, and help make the right care decisions at the right time. UCHealth\u2019s recently announced investment in and collaboration with<\/a> Google spinoff Verily is an important step in achieving that vision, he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re at a generational inflection point on care delivery and the use of data and intelligence,\u201d Zane said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
