Abstract The Internet of Things refers to the interconnectedness of physical devices or things through the cloud. This connectivity enables data to be communicated between devices, also known as interoperability. The IOT, the cloud, data sharing these may all sound like modern age jargon, but when you think about it, the IOT isn’t necessarily new. All the components behind interoperability have been around for some time: the internet, smartembedded devices, communication technologies, sensors. And, they have all had the ability to communicate with each other. Take for example your friendly, household robotic vacuum. It has sensors that tell it where to go and what to avoid, a docking station that calls it back home when the battery is low, and the ability to connect to your phone through an app. What is a fairly new and emerging idea is that the IOT can help streamline healthcare solutions in memory care. IOT principles are already being applied in assisted living facilities to help manage risk improve the quality of patientcentered care with smart sensor technologies. It’s estimated that there will be a $117 billion market for the IOT in healthcare by the year 2020. This means that smartsensor technology in the healthcare industry is going to advance quickly. This white paper will cover some of the most important ways you can take advantage of that technology to help improve risk management in memory care. Add a little bit of Introduction Baby boomers make up about onequarter of the population and in less than a decade even the youngest of them will have reached 80 years old. This means that soon there will not be enough senior housing to meet the demand of elderly boomers. Memory care facilities that treat diseases such as Alzheimer’s will be in even higher demand. Every 68 seconds, someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, a disease that affects over million Americans. That number is expected to triple by 2050. To support the growing need, many assisted living facilities are including memory care in their services. However, memory care includes
4.
unique risks and therefore calls for unique solutions in order to provide optimal patientcentered care. Risk areas that hinder patientcentered care in memory care facilities: • staff management • patient management • patient safety Competition among memory care providers has led many of them to turn to innovative solutions, such as RTLSbased smartsensor technology to help manage those risks. Read on to learn more about how this type of technology can improve staff management, patient networking, and patient safety. What is a Real TIme Location System (RTLS)? Real Time Location System technology is at the heart interoperable risk management systems. To understand how it’s so useful, we’ll first discuss what it is. Real Time Location Systems use wireless tags that are attached to certain objects. These tags contain electronically stored information. RTLS can serve the same purpose as a bar code or a magnetic strip on the back of a credit card it provides a unique identifier for that object. Like barcodes, they also need to be scanned to retrieve the information. RTLS can effectively track where people or things are in real time. Benefits of using RTLS vs. barcodes • RTLS doesn’t need a line of sight. • RTLS tags are durable and reusable. • An RTLS tag can read/write. The tags can be read and the data on the tag can be rewritten or modified whenever it’s needed. • Data is encrypted. • RTLS tags are capable of storing a ton of data.
5.
How the IOT can help improve staff management through the use of Real TIme Location System technology. Assisted living facilities often use outdated systems, such as spreadsheets, to manage its staff. A poorly managed staff can lead to situations that increase the risk of death or injury, such as overworked staff members and slow response times. When dealing with patients that have memory diseases such as Alzheimer’s or dementia this risk is even higher. Using RTLS devices in wearable wristbands, like the ones developed by Skynet Healthcare, allows facilities to uniquely identify staff members in a network and track and monitor their movements. Scanners located throughout the facility communicate this information to a command center, as well as other command panels which should be placed throughout the facility in areas that are determined easily accessible by staff and management. So how does that work? When we defined the IOT earlier we mentioned that it allows interoperability between devices. That means that the RTLS wristband, RTLS sensor, and the control center and control panels all communicate with each other, like shown below.
6.
As the wristband passes a sensor, the sensor picks up frequencies which are then transmitted to the control center. The person monitoring the control center can send that information to the various control panels. This communication flow helps ensure that there is the right number of staff in the right location at the right time. It can also improve response times using tiered alert systems that can be set up depending on your facility’s needs. For example, a patient can send an alert for assistance by pressing a button on his or her wristband. That alert is sent to an assigned staff member. If that staff member does not respond in the allotted time, an alert can be sent to a supervisor. If the supervisor does not respond in the allotted time, an alert is then sent to all staff members near the patient’s location. The RTLS smart sensors can also send alerts if unusual activity is detected. How the same RTLS technology can be used to improve patient management Depending on their size, assisted living facilities can have hundreds of residents and/ or patients at any given time. The memory care units in these facilities may have fewer number of patients, but their patients require aroundtheclock care and increased safety measures. Properly managing these patients helps ensure that their care and safety needs are met. The same RTLS wristbands used by the staff members can be used to uniquely identify patients in a network and track and monitor their movements. Like mentioned above, patients can use their wristbands to send alerts for assistance. Their patient information can also be stored on and accessed through the RTLS devices in the wristbands. What kind of information is stored in the RTLS chip? Patient information can range anywhere from basic identifying information like name, age and ailments, to activity patterns. Activity is tracked so that anything outoftheordinary, such as increased movement while sleeping or decreased movement while in the restroom can be picked up by the smart sensors and communicated to the alert system.
7.
Properly managing staff and patients reduces safety concerns There is constant fear of injury, death and elopement (escaping the facility) when you’re dealing with patients that have memoryrelated diseases. The mortality rate within a year of a person with Alzheimer’s moving into a memory care unit is greater than 50 percent. This can be attributed to several different factors, like the ones listed below: Factors that increase mortality rate in memory care patients • Loss of ADL’s (activities of daily living: bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, and continence.) • The shock of a significant change in environment. • Disruption in normal social engagement patterns. • A loss of the “will to live.” • Injury occurring during elopement (escaping the facility.) • Injury that goes unnoticed or is not responded to quickly enough. Risk management is crucial to providing your patients a healthier and happier life. All of these factors listed above can be avoided with proper risk management. The best way to reduce risk is to properly manage your staff and patients. Streamlining your data flow using RTLS devices that communicate through the IOT will ensure you meet that goal.
