When monitoring called for greater flexibility, UCLA and M Health Fairview responded


Tuesday, July 15th, 2025 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT

Gaps in patient monitoring can lead to missed deteriorations, delayed interventions and increased risk. At the same time, switching patients between monitors can harm the care experience and burden frontline teams. 

Join this session to hear how two leading health systems turned to a flexible platform to boost their continuous monitoring and reduce transitions. For M Health Fairview, that change has expanded cardiac and end-tidal CO2 monitoring and addressed ED overflow. At UCLA Health, it has met both daily demands and public health emergencies by assigning a monitor at admission for the full patient journey.

You’ll learn:
 
  • The benefits of embracing a flexible-acuity model for patient monitoring
  • How to monitor non-traditional care areas and quickly scale up during demand surges
  • Ways to secure buy-in from clinicians and avoid the “culture of mine” when it comes to equipment
