This is the reality that most hospitals face today. More critically-ill patients are seeking care and are being cared for by fewer clinicians. According to one <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beckershospitalreview.com\/hospital-management-administration\/rising-acuities-the-evolution-of-emergency-medicine.html\" rel=\"\u201dnofollow\u201d\">report<\/a>, a few factors of rising acuities in today\u2019s healthcare environment are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>older patients,<\/li>\n<li>medical \u201csuccess stories\u201d that lead to complex chronic conditions,<\/li>\n<li>under-resourced or unable-to-access primary care networks,<\/li>\n<li>and untreated illnesses for the underinsured who eventually seek episodic emergency care later and sicker.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And all this at a time when the U.S. is facing a massive nursing shortage. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/health\/archive\/2016\/02\/nursing-shortage\/459741\/\" rel=\"\u201dnofollow\u201d\">article<\/a>, \u201cThe U.S. Is Running Out of Nurses\u201d, Rebecca Grant shares insight from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that 1.2 million vacancies will emerge for registered nurses between 2014 and 2022. And according to a team of Vanderbilt University nursing researchers, by 2025 the shortfall is expected to be \u201cmore than twice as large as any nurse shortage experienced since the introduction of Medicare and Medicaid in the mid-1960\u2019s\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  column-top-margin\" style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>During my 35-year career as an emergency department registered nurse, I have witnessed many tragedies \u2013 some on a large-scale \u2013 with either human or natural causes. However, the real tragedies are the daily struggles of children and adults left with no access to primary care. Those that must use emergency departments as their care provider because they can\u2019t get an appointment with a specialist for many months. The history of emergency nursing is that we always provided the communities we serve as a safety net. Unfortunately, more recently that net has been stretched beyond its limits, leaving many patients unserved.<\/p>\n<h2>The solution that goes above and beyond<\/h2>\n<p>Coupled with the above challenges are the increased burdens of a technology-laden workflow that has given little or no thought to the impact in the nurse\u2019s ability to care for their patients in a timely way. Our Bernoulli clinical surveillance solution is a technology safety net designed to help alleviate some of the challenges of caring for high acuity patients. The solution enables caregivers to monitor patients in real-time in emergency departments and operating rooms, post-anesthesia care, intensive care, medical-surgical, telemetry units, and other healthcare settings such as long term acute care. The Bernoulli system connects to a variety of medical devices including ventilators, infusion pumps, and patient care monitors.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond basic surveillance, the system links retrospective patient data (from the EHR) with real-time patient vitals for early warning notifications leading to early interventions. For example, the Bernoulli respiratory depression surveillance solution sends an early warning notice if a patient is in potential danger of an adverse event. Here\u2019s how. Bernoulli correlates extensive data points such as patient demographics and lab values with real-time patient parameters such as temperature, heart rate and blood pressure. Early intervention can help prevent rising acuity and severely compromised patient conditions. This added layer of surveillance, will help to reduce burdens facing an already limited clinical staff.<\/p>\n<p>It is my belief that today\u2019s complex state of healthcare needs this technology safety net to enhance the care team\u2019s ability to provide timely, real-time patient care that can alter the outcomes and improve patient safety.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div first  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_hr  column-top-margin\" style='margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:10px; border-width:1px; border-color:#4392e8; border-style:solid; padding:20px; border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><h3><a href=\"http:\/\/bernoullihealth.com\/bernoulli-one-clinical-surveillance-monitoring-brochure\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6984 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/bernoullihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Bernoulli-One-Clinical-Surveillance-and-Monitoring.jpg\" alt=\"Bernoulli One Clinical Surveillance and Monitoring\" width=\"150\" height=\"194\" \/><\/a>You might also be interested in downloading:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bernoullihealth.com\/bernoulli-one-clinical-surveillance-monitoring-brochure\/\"><strong><u>Bernoulli One Clinical Surveillance &amp; Monitoring brochure<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div   class='hr hr-short hr-left   avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>About the Author:<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6094\" src=\"http:\/\/bernoullihealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Jeanne-Venella-1-e1503329919389.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" height=\"114\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Jeanne J.
