Ongoing Challenges in Healthcare Safety
A priority to be managed with intelligence
Health safety is the foundation of quality of care: it protects people and sustains the organization.
However, concrete vulnerabilities persist - infections, patchy adherence to protocols, lack of consistent controls. Recognizing them and addressing them with appropriate tools is essential to building more reliable processes.
In the following paragraphs we delve into some critical issues on which HANDHY® offers operational support and useful data for action.
HAI under control
Prevention that starts with actions
Healthcare-associated infections prolong hospital stays and weigh on outcomes and costs. HANDHY measures hand hygiene in real time, triggers reminders at key moments, and provides objective indicators to strengthen compliance with protocols — turning prevention into an everyday practice.
Before the fall
Early signs, timely interventions
Falls are among the most frequent and impactful adverse events. Through continuous monitoring and targeted alerts, HANDHY helps identify risk situations and enables rapid intervention — reducing clinical consequences and disruptions in care pathways.
Time matters
Locate, coordinate, respond
In internal emergency situations, every second counts. HANDHY supports staff localization and alert routing, helping teams coordinate and reduce response times — with positive effects on both safety and efficiency.
Unauthorized exits
Discreet monitoring, real safety
Elopement and wandering expose especially vulnerable patients to avoidable risks. HANDHY detects unusual movements and sensitive access points, sending targeted alerts to ensure a quick and safe return — without adding burden to clinical practice.
Protected fragility
Continuous attention, targeted interventions
Elderly patients and individuals with impairments require constant attention. HANDHY helps identify early warning signs, classify risk levels, and activate discreet monitoring — enabling timely and personalized interventions.
Assets within reach
Real-time visibility
Untraceable equipment slows down care and creates operational stress. With dedicated tags and dashboards, HANDHY provides immediate visibility on resources and their locations — improving availability, distribution, and department readiness.
