Hi Andreaban,
Many thanks for sharing the link. I've had a listen and I must admit I had to check the date against the posting of the clip as I'm sure this was the sort of thing that was being said about 2 years ago regarding Sensium. So frustrating! Just think of how much money it could have saved hospitals during that time if it had been adopted a couple of years ago.
The positive points I took from the clip were
It easies pressures that are caused from the medical staff monitoring the "old" way.
It means a bit more time can be spent with patients who need it.
Gives patients reassurance.
Mobility for patients – less likely to develop complications when they can move around, recover more quickly go home and save the NHS because of this - just think of the beds it could free up!.
Emergency care phase plus application for own home monitoring.
In talks with 20 trusts.
I must admit I hadn't quite grasped that Sensium were in talks with so many trusts - that sounds to me major but what does in talks mean - in talks to start deployment? In talks - we're interested? In talks organising a trial?
Once this report is published and until we get an update all of this on my behalf is conjecture. However, when you hear there are benefits from the medical staff side, the patients side and the financing side it raises the question why on earth aren't you guys who are managing the NHS moving this along more quickly. I think the obvious answer is the NHS does move slowly I can only hope we are somewhat closer to making a breakthrough with them and that in 2 years time another clip isn't posted that says there is this amazing patch that can have substantial benefits re patient monitoring......
