Avasys

When a patient is at a high risk for falling, there is a camera put int the room to  watch over them. We call up to the Avasys department and ask for them to watch over the patient from the monitors upstairs. My mom is a regular float up there. She's good at calling right away to notify the techs about the patients who try to get up when the nurses aren't there. It's just a precaution to ensure that they meet their goal of preventing falls!

Today, there was one patient who was always trying to have a laugh by getting up and laying back down when they techs upstairs talked through the camera. I was supposed to watch the patient from the hallway to make sure he'd stop. However, I found out he was a funny man that was just bored of laying in bed. We ended up talking about life and how society has changed. It was a pretty great day and the genuine conversation made it even better.
