BACKGROUND: Patient safety in hospitals is of equal importance as
providing treatments and urgent healthcare. With the development of Cloud
technologies and Big Data analytics, it is possible to employ VSaaS
technology virtually anywhere, for any given security purpose.
AIM: For the listed benefits, in this paper, we give an overview of
the existing cloud surveillance technologies which can be implemented for
improving patient safety.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Modern VSaaS systems provide higher elasticity
and project scalability in dealing with real-time information processing.
Modern surveillance technologies can prove to be an effective tool for
prevention of patient falls, undesired movement and tempering with attached
life supporting devices. Given a large number of patients who require
constant supervision, a cloud-based monitoring system can dramatically
reduce the occurring costs. It provides continuous real-time monitoring,
increased overall security and safety, improved staff productivity,
prevention of dishonest claims and long-term digital archiving.
CONCLUSION: Patient safety is a growing issue which can be improved
with the usage of high-end centralised surveillance systems allowing the
staff to focus more on treating health issues rather that keeping a watchful
eye on potential incidents.
