Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) is a company diversity registration designated under the Veteran Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-461). Registration ensures that companies qualify for preferential procurement for federal contracts if they are owned and controlled by Veterans.
This certification is non-industry specific and requires that the firm meets the small business requirements established by the Small Business Administration (SBA). Additionally, it requires that the company is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a veteran.
In the fast-paced world of healthcare, where staffing shortages and special circumstances in patient rooms can often create challenging situations, there is a remarkable solution that combines the reliability of older technology with the advancements of modern innovation: video surveillance cameras. These cameras, equipped with cutting-edge, AI-driven technology, have proven to be an invaluable asset for healthcare workers during times of limited staffing or when specific conditions need to be closely monitored.
The latest security cameras not only have the capability to stream live images to a nurses' station but also possess intelligent features that can detect and alert when certain behaviors occur. For instance, if a patient leaves their bed, this behavior can be programmed into the camera system to immediately trigger an alert at the nurses' station or security desk. This real-time monitoring system acts as a safety net for healthcare workers, providing them with the much-needed support when they are already stretched thin.
By implementing remote bedside monitoring through video surveillance cameras, healthcare organizations can alleviate some of the burdens associated with staffing shortages. These cameras act as an additional set of vigilant eyes, allowing healthcare workers to focus on critical tasks while still ensuring the safety and well-being of their patients. With the remarkable ability to promptly detect and respond to potentially concerning situations, healthcare professionals can have peace of mind, knowing that they are equipped with the necessary tools to provide optimal care.
The integration of video surveillance cameras with advanced features has truly revolutionized healthcare by offering an effective solution to combat staffing challenges and address specific conditions in patient rooms. By harnessing the power of technology, healthcare workers can enhance their ability to monitor and respond to patient needs, ultimately improving the overall quality of care.
As always, be sure to not only evaluate technology, but also the processes the new technology may impact. Theseus Professional Services takes great pride in ensuring organizational processes are pushed aside to make room for new security and safety technology without serious consideration and review.
