Driving Safer Patient Care: How Technology Can Help Hospitals Meet Top Nursing Priorities
A recent report by NSI Nursing Solutions, the 2025 HELP Survey of Hospital CEOs and COOs, reveals that patient safety remains a critical concern in nursing strategy—especially as hospitals continue to face staffing shortages and financial pressures. The survey highlights the top priorities executives have set to improve nursing practice and patient care, including:
- Enhancing patient safety and quality outcomes
- Improving nurse engagement and retention
- Addressing staffing shortages while maintaining care standards
- Increasing operational efficiency
With the current healthcare environment marked by persistent workforce challenges, hospitals are increasingly looking to technology to help bridge gaps, support staff, and advance these priorities.
Leveraging Technology to Strengthen Nursing Strategy
Pavion partners with healthcare organizations to implement integrated technology solutions that directly support these strategic priorities. Here’s how:
✅ Virtual Nursing & Virtual Care:
Virtual Nursing platforms allow experienced nurses to monitor patients, assist bedside teams, and handle documentation remotely. This alleviates pressure on on-site staff, enabling hospitals to maintain quality care even with fewer personnel on the floor. It also improves patient safety by ensuring continuous observation and faster response to early warning signs.
✅ Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) & Nurse Call:
These systems optimize workflows by helping staff locate equipment, track patient movement, and respond quickly to calls, which reduces delays and improves care coordination.
✅ Advanced Video & Analytics:
Intelligent camera systems with AI analytics can monitor patient activity to help prevent falls or detect irregular behaviors—alerting caregivers in real time and contributing to a safer environment.
✅ Secure Communication & Collaboration Tools:
HIPAA-compliant messaging and team collaboration platforms keep care teams connected, ensuring swift communication of patient needs or safety concerns.
Meeting Today’s Challenges With Tomorrow’s Solutions
As highlighted in the NSI survey, many hospital executives are rethinking how they deliver care to sustain high standards with leaner teams. By embracing technology like Virtual Nursing, hospitals can:
- Extend the reach of experienced nurses across multiple units or facilities
- Reduce burnout and turnover by redistributing workloads
- Improve patient outcomes through continuous, data-driven monitoring
At Pavion, we’re proud to help healthcare organizations navigate these challenges by designing and integrating solutions that not only safeguard patients but also empower clinical teams.
