SALA DE PRENSA DE RENOWN

El monitoreo médico de signos vitales de BioIntelliSense y el centro de comandos centralizado de Renown Health crean un sistema escalable para optimizar los recursos críticos de atención médica y la eficiencia del flujo de trabajo del personal de enfermería DENVER CO Y RENO, NV. 6 DICIEMBRE DE 2021: BioIntelliSense, una empresa de monitoreo continuo de la salud y de inteligencia clínica, ha entablado una colaboración estratégica con Renown Health, una red integrada de atención médica sin fines de lucro compuesta de hospitales e instalaciones de atención médica que atiende a más de un millón de personas en Nevada y el noreste de California, para brindar atención más conveniente, eficaz y personalizada a los pacientes mediante monitoreo remoto continuo para la atención de pacientes internados, como también para el control de la salud en el hogar. This innovative program integrates BioIntelliSense’s FDA-cleared BioSticker™ wearable device into Renown Health’s state-of-the-art clinical remote monitoring services to address today’s significant healthcare workforce shortage challenges and enhance their patient-centered model of care. BioIntelliSense’s BioSticker continuously monitors data on a patient’s skin temperature, resting heart rate and respiratory rate, step, gait, sleep, activity levels, and more, including infection-like symptom alerts that supports COVID-19 monitoring. The BioSticker’s medical-grade trending and advanced analytics will be visualized and monitored by clinical staff within the Renown Transfer and Operations Center (RTOC). The Renown Transfer and Operations Center is powered by Renown doctors, nurses, technicians and national technology partners, including BioIntelliSense, to help ensure seamless care for patients and providers. Through this highly coordinated care logistics system, Renown will be able to customize health care to the needs of every patient; delivering the right care, at the right time and place across the integrated delivery system. Renown clinicians will be able to access near real-time information on patients’ vital signs and symptoms, enabling them to identify adverse changes in health sooner and intervene earlier. “Given the growing healthcare workforce crisis, routine patient monitoring has become more expensive and less frequent, especially during the ongoing public health emergency.  With the BioSticker, vital signs monitoring can be provided for each patient far more frequently and at a fraction of the cost,” said James Mault, MD, Founder and CEO of BioIntelliSense. “Our strategic partnership with Renown Health serves as a gold standard demonstration project for other hospital systems. What we are learning from patients and providers at Renown will help create fully integrated, continuous care delivery that starts during the patient’s hospitalization enabling monitoring of their health status throughout their recovery process, and from the comfort of their own home after leaving the hospital.” During the first phase of the collaboration and during this phase one implementation, the BioSticker will be applied to all patients admitted to Renown’s community hospital, Renown South Meadows Medical Center in Reno, Nevada. Patients may wear the device throughout their hospital stay and continue to wear it when they leave for their homes, ambulatory, outpatient surgical, rehabilitation or skilled nursing settings. “We are excited to continue to enhance our relationships with patients by integrating technology that supplements our care teams and provides patients with a virtual care solution that will continuously track vital signs, making healthcare more accessible, affordable and convenient,” said Tony Slonim, MD, DPH, CEO, Renown Health. “We believe patients and their loved ones will have confidence in knowing that their Renown clinical team will be closely monitoring their health data and communicating with them regularly to deliver high quality, personalized care throughout their healing process.” Initially, this collaboration will focus on understanding the logistics of patient monitoring in the hospital and at home or remote sites using the BioIntelliSense remote care technology. Renown Health will then work towards streamlining and operationalizing the clinical workflow, while scaling the program, to measure clinical improvement and the economic impact on patient care. “We are entering a new era in continuous health monitoring, as innovative hospital systems like Renown Health are integrating remote care technologies that provide scalable, user friendly and cost-effective solutions for health screening, COVID symptom monitoring and remote patient monitoring,” noted Mault. “Prevemos que, en diez años, nuestros dispositivos portátiles se convertirán en el estándar de atención de las personas que no se sientan bien ya que les dará la tranquilidad a ellas mismas y a sus seres queridos de que están siendo monitoreados 24/7 por un equipo clínico comprensivo y tendrán la seguridad de que, si su afección empeora, podemos elevar el nivel de atención, de inmediato y en tiempo real”. "We are excited to serve as the national training site for BioIntelliSense and continue to bring new technology that improves the patient and provider experience to colleagues. We will continue to develop a well-trained, inter-professional and flexible workforce with technology skills that match the current pace of health care innovation,” added Slonim. “Our team is excited to be improving health care access and affordability across the state, and especially with critical access hospitals serving rural communities. Remote patient monitoring technology offers great benefit to patients at or near their homes, and it may transform hospital care by expanding access to clinical expertise to patients, and extending and increasing workforce capacity for limited hospital physician, nursing and clinical teams. We are pleased to be working with Dr. Mault and the team at BioIntelliSense, on the demonstration project with the BioSticker for vital signs monitoring as we take another bold step in innovating health care for long-term success.”     Acerca de Renown Health Renown Health es una red de atención médica integrada de administración local y sin fines de lucro que brinda servicios al norte de Nevada, Lake Tahoe y el noreste de California.

Two Open-Heart Surgeons and Two Advanced Practitioners Bring Nearly 70 Years of Local Experience. As part of a continuing focus on offering comprehensive care for patients experiencing cardiac and vascular disease across northern Nevada, Renown Health Department of Surgery and Renown Institute for Heart & Vascular Health have developed Renown’s first division of cardiothoracic surgery dedicated to heart surgery patients. “Hoy me enorgullece anunciar que los cirujanos cardiotorácicos, Athan Roumanas, M.D., FACS, y Joseph Brandl, M.D., FACS, que representan más de 45 años de experiencia combinada en el cuidado de residentes de Nevada con necesidad de una cirugía a corazón abierto, dirigirán este nuevo consultorio en Renown”, dijo Anthony Slonim, M.D., Dr.PH., FACHE, presidente y director ejecutivo de Renown Health. “Las profesionales de atención avanzada Cindy Powers y Ashley White aportan otros 23 años de atención experta a nuestra comunidad y a la nueva división de cirugía cardiotorácica”. El Dr. Roumanas tiene 18 años de experiencia en el norte de Nevada. He is a clinical associate professor of surgery at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine (UNR Med) and currently serves as medical director of cardiothoracic surgery for Renown Regional Medical Center. Desde 1991, el Dr. Brandl ha cuidado de nuestra región y ha ocupado numerosos puestos en toda la comunidad, incluido el de director de Cirugía Cardíaca de Renown y profesor adjunto de la comunidad en la UNR Med. Renown Institute for Heart & Vascular Health offers the most highly-skilled and experienced heart and vascular team and the most advanced heart center in the region. Renown has long been the region’s heart care leader – performing the area’s first open-heart surgery, angioplasty, stent and valve replacements decades ago. En 2015, Renown Regional se convirtió en el primer hospital de la región en ofrecer reemplazo de válvula aórtica transcatéter (transcatheter aortic valve replacement, TAVR), una alternativa salvadora a la cirugía a corazón abierto para pacientes considerados de alto riesgo o inoperables. Renown se encuentra entre los hospitales de mejor desempeño del país para el tratamiento de ataques cardíacos y es uno de los únicos 105 hospitales de todo el país en recibir el premio ACTION Registry Silver Performance Achievement Award del Colegio Estadounidense de Cardiología, que reconoce el éxito en la implementación de un estándar de atención más alto para pacientes con ataques cardíacos. Additionally, Renown’s Roseview, Sierra and Cardiac Intensive Care Units (ICUs) were the only ICUs in Nevada to receive the Beacon Award of Excellence from the American Association of Critical Care Nurses. This distinction is based on sustained unit performance and patient outcomes that exceed national benchmarks. As Reno’s only locally-owned, charitable, not-for-profit integrated health network, Renown continues to meet customer demand for affordable healthcare and enhanced service and access by keeping the highest levels of clinical quality care right here in our community. Los pacientes que necesitan atención cardíaca avanzada pueden hablar con su proveedor de atención médica sobre la atención de especialidad del Renown Medical Group, con el que puede comunicarse llamando al 775-982-6270 o si visita renown.org/HeartCare.
