When Virtual Sitting Works: Proven Outcomes from CareView’s AI-Powered Model
Hospitals nationwide are under increasing pressure to improve patient safety, optimize staffing, and demonstrate clear financial returns on technology investments. CareView Communications’ AI-powered Virtual Sitting solution is delivering on all three—driving measurable outcomes and exceptional return on investment across diverse health systems.
Real-world results from CareView partners clearly illustrate the impact. At Maury Regional Medical Center in Tennessee, a CareView partner since 2021, the Virtual Observation program has transformed patient monitoring while significantly reducing reliance on physical sitters. Over the course of the partnership, Maury Regional logged 117,962 virtual sitter hours, offsetting 43,865 physical sitter support hours. This shift resulted in $2.36 million in sitter replacement savings, achieved with an investment of approximately $43,000—yielding a remarkable 1,067% total ROI. These outcomes demonstrate how CareView enables hospitals to scale observation safely and efficiently without adding staffing burden.
Similarly compelling results were achieved at Doctors Hospital Baptist Health South Florida, where CareView’s Virtual Sitting solution was evaluated over a one-year period. The hospital recorded 463,427 virtual sitter hours, dramatically reducing the need for in-room sitters while maintaining continuous patient observation. This translated into $9.3 million in sitter cost savings, supported by just 26,596 physical sitter hours. The result: a 960% total ROI, alongside 339.5 hours of bedside time savings, allowing clinical staff to focus on higher-value patient care activities.
At the core of these outcomes is CareView’s AI-powered platform, which combines advanced analytics, real-time monitoring, and proactive alerting to support early intervention and risk mitigation. The technology enhances patient safety by identifying behavior
s associated with falls, self-harm, or elopement—while enabling centralized teams to monitor more patients simultaneously than traditional in-person models allow.
Beyond financial performance, hospitals benefit from improved workforce efficiency, reduced staff fatigue, and greater consistency in patient observation. CareView’s robust reporting and dashboards further empower leaders to quantify results, track utilization, and continuously optimize performance.
As healthcare organizations seek solutions that deliver both clinical and financial value, CareView’s Virtual Sitting stands out as a proven, scalable approach. With documented outcomes showing millions in cost savings and ROI exceeding 900%, CareView is helping hospitals turn innovation into measurable impact—improving safety, supporting staff, and strengthening the bottom line.
