CareView Communications, Inc. (“CareView” or the “Company”) (Pink Sheets:CRVW), an information technology provider to the healthcare industry, announced today the successful deployment of the CareView System(TM) at SouthCrest Hospital, a 180-bed hospital and #1 provider of coronary interventional procedures and cardiac surgery, maternity and general healthcare services in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The CareView System(TM) is a suite of products that brings the information technology of the 21st century directly to patients, families and healthcare providers by connecting them through one easy-to-install and simple-to-use system. SouthCrest Hospital is now able to provide:
— Doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers with the ability to efficiently and cost-effectively monitor, treat and visit their patients.
— Family members and friends with the ability to use the Internet to monitor, visit and correspond with their loved ones in SouthCrest.
— Patients and their visitors with direct access to on-demand high-speed Internet and first run movies in their rooms.
— The ability to implement audit tools to insure that quality standards are being met and safety measures are being complied with, while both are used to further educate caregivers to continually enhance quality and safety.
“The CareView System allows our nurses to visually monitor patients in their rooms every minute of every day which improves patient care and ultimately provides an even safer hospital environment. In addition to providing patients with Internet access, they can also have their family and friends for a video visit and watch first run movies in their rooms. So, if a grandparent is in the hospital, family members out-of-state can view the patient in their room and talk with them via the CareView system. Family members and even our soldiers overseas have the ability to view new infants via BabyView. With this system, patients have complete control over when the camera in their room is on and can turn it off at any time,” said Tony Young, President and CEO of SouthCrest Hospital.
“We are proud to be a part of the SouthCrest team and are extremely excited to make today’s announcement. This deployment not only expands our network, but it gives us the continuing privilege to work with the dedicated healthcare professionals at SouthCrest who are the first to promote improvements in the care, safety and environment of their patients,” stated Samuel A. Greco, CareView’s CEO.
Governor Tommy G. Thompson, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and former Secretary of Health and Human Services stated, “I have long been a staunch advocate of improving technology in our hospitals and SouthCrest is a leader in bringing the healthcare industry into the Information Age.”
