A Growing Healthcare Pandemic
NURSING SHORTAGE
According to the BLS, there are more than 4x as many nurses needed than all other four year degree science professions combined
Currently the registered nurse shortfall stands at 400,000 nationwide. The shortage will grow to nearly 440,000 by 2024
By 2030, more than 1 in 5 Americans will be over the age of 65 and will require nursing care as they age. Simultaneously many nurses will be retiring and the projection of new graduates will not come close to meeting the demand.
As the number of nurses decreases and the number of patients needing care increases, the patient to nurse ratio increases, resulting in negative side affects on the healthcare system.
A TRANSFORMATIVE SOLUTION
Merging Healthcare and Technology
Filling the gap between the demand and availability of nurses, allowing you to increase patient care without increasing staff.
Virtual Smartcare allows you to:
• The ability to seemlessly check in on a patient
• Medication reconciliation
• Remind a congestive heart failure patient to take their medication
• Prompt a diabetic patient to check their blood sugar
• Identify issues that a patient is having with getting their medication refilled
• Provide teaching on how to properly change a surgical site dressing
• The ability to know if your patient is having feelings of depression
• Knowing if your patient has SDOH factors such as food insecurity
• Scheduling transportation for a patient’s cardiology appointment tomorrow.
All of these are just scratching the surface of what is possible with the use of AI technology provided by Infinity Care Partners and QurHealth. This capability allows us to provide care at scale, allowing clinical staff to provide better care to more patients; and better care means reduced ED visits and hospitalizations which helps to reduce the healthcare burden that is caused from the nursing shortage.
