CareView Communications Selected to Exhibit Patient Safety System at Vizient Innovative Technology Exchange

LEWISVILLE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CareView Communications, Inc. (“CareView” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: CRVW), an information technology provider to the healthcare industry, has been selected to exhibit the CareView Patient Safety System®, including its patented, predictive Virtual Bed Rails® and Virtual Chair Rails® technology, at the Vizient Innovative Technology Exchange. Vizient, Inc., the nation’s largest member-driven health care performance improvement company, will hold the Exchange on October 17 at the Renaissance, Dallas.

The annual Innovative Technology Exchange offers selected suppliers the unique opportunity to demonstrate their technologies to supply chain and clinical leaders from Vizient’s member hospitals and subject matter experts who serve on its supply councils. Each technology will showcase how it improves clinical outcomes, enhances safety, or drives incremental improvements to health care delivery or business models.

The CareView Patient Safety System leverages CareView’s patented Virtual Bed Rails and Virtual Chair Rails, which use machine learning to differentiate between normal patient movements and behaviors of an at-risk patient. Exclusive integrations with the health system’s electronic health record (EHR) and nurse communication systems allow for enhanced clinical workflows and improved response times. With CareView’s system, one staff member can safely monitor and interact with up to 40 patients, resulting in fewer false alarms, quicker staff interventions, and a significant reduction in patient falls.

“We are very excited to bring our CareView Patient Safety System to the Vizient Innovative Technology Exchange,” said Sandra McRee, CareView’s Chief Operating Officer. “CareView’s latest equipment will address hospital staffing shortages, ease care burdens, and improve care efficiency by having a virtual sitter in every at-risk and high acuity patient room.”

“Suppliers come to the Exchange hoping to be awarded an Innovative Technology contract, which signals health care providers of their product’s unique qualities,” said Kelly Flaharty, director of contract process, Vizient. “We are pleased to include CareView’s technology in the group selected to participate.”

The annual Innovative Technology Exchange is part of Vizient’s Innovative Technology Program that includes product review of supplier-submitted technologies by member-led councils and task forces. Since 2003, Vizient has reviewed over 1,600 product submissions as part of its Innovative Technology Program.
