CareView Communications announces three-year business agreement with HealthTrust

US-based virtual care solution provider CareView Communications has entered a three-year business agreement with group purchasing organisation (GPO) HealthTrust Purchasing Group.

Based in Tennessee, HealthTrust works with 1,800 health systems and hospitals to help their providers manage expenses and enhance performance.

The partnership aims to deliver ‘immediate and sustainable’ savings for these hospitals and health systems.

CareView Communications chief operations officer Sandra McRee said: “Our GPO relationships are a critical part of our business model and allow us to expand our products and services in a streamlined and cost-effective way.

“Through agreements with GPOs like HealthTrust, we can minimise overhead expenses and partner with those hospitals looking to adopt cutting-edge virtual sitting and virtual nursing solutions.”

The agreement with HealthTrust is expected to build on CareView’s virtual nursing solution, which involves reallocating tasks to virtual Registered Nurses (vRNs).

This approach is designed to reduce workloads for bedside nurses and optimise the use of resources.

CareView has been part of HealthTrust’s organisation network since 2017.

Based in Texas, the company has provided virtual care solutions for more than 200 hospitals across the US to date.

CareView Communications Sales vice-president Patrick Conte said: “Our GPO channels provide important synergies between CareView and current and prospective customers.

“When prospective customers see alignment with their GPO, they know they are working with a supplier that has been vetted and has demonstrated outcomes in their solution area.”

Earlier this year, CareView Communications entered a business agreement with Alaska Native Medical Center in an effort to improve patient safety through the use of virtual care solutions.

Alaska Native Medical Center provides services to Alaska Natives and American Indians, including a 182-bed hospital and a medical speciality suite.

In December last year, CareView partnered with Confluence Health, a network of healthcare providers in Washington, with the aim to improve patient safety.
