If the problem is a challenged working environment, under staffing, and a complex geography
THE SOLUTION COULD BE VIRTUAL CARE, TREATMENT, AND PREVENTION FROM PONTEM
About Virtual Care
At Pontem we work every day to be first movers on virtual care in Europe. We partner with healthcare organisations on getting started on their virtual care and virtual nursing journey as a part of their ongoing aim for developing improved care delivery models. In short: We are an authorized partner of NESA solution – The world’s most advanced Virtual Care Platform natively built for Epic – providing Instantaneous, live, virtual communication between providers and patients across all levels of care.
Healthcare organizations are increasingly challenged to deliver better and more personalized care, to more patients, more efficiently, all with increasingly limited resources. Virtual care solutions provide multiple technological possibilities for improved overview, communication and monitoring for improvement of the quality of care and patient experience. But new technology doesn’t give any benefit by itself.
Implementation of new technological solutions should be driven by a focus on improving your care delivery model, optimizing workflows and enabling the technical possibilities in your primary IT system. At Pontem, we only offer technology that is fully integrated and focused on addressing significant issues:
- Patient safety and satisfaction
- Staff shortage and retention
- Complex geography
We work with NESA to provide the healthcare professional with an overview and tools where embedded AI solutions do the heavy lifting. The virtual colleague or coordinating nurse handles part of the communication with patients, acts as the extra hand when needed, has time to document and think ahead. Most importantly, she ensures that her bedside colleagues have more time for patient contact. Once the overview is created, and geographical issues are reduced, the further possibilities for healthcare professionals, patients and relatives can unfold.
A Palette of Strategic Possibilities:
Providing the opportunity for a coordinating nurse role with an improved overview of the department. Not an extra nurse but one from the team having a virtual and consolidated overview of all the patients. Reduced length of stay, less stress for patients and staff, and improved flow are some of the benefits
Providing the possibility for the more experienced nurses to assume the role as virtual nurses in order to support the colleagues with less experience when needed – at nighttime maybe even across departments and/or hospitals.
Connecting clinical staff wherever they are to the patient room – allowing more time spent on treatment and care than on transportation and waiting time. Virtual nurses can act in a department set up or as a centralized unit

The virtual patient room provides the opportunity for the virtual nurse to handle the documentation while the bedside nurse takes care of the patient. Communication with the patient concerning admission, transfer, and discharge can be handled by the virtual nurse. Integrating the medical technical devices around the patient provide even wider opportunities
The virtual patient room provides the opportunity for connecting the patient to translators, relatives, or key staff at home to optimize understanding of the situation. If the virtual care solution is placed at a nursing home, the admission could even remain at the nursing home.
The virtual patient room provides AI-powered monitoring to predict and prevent falls and other adverse events. In cases where you would decide to have a bedside nurse monitoring the patient constantly, you now have a telesitting solution at hand. The AI solutions will notify the virtual nurse when needed and the bedside nurses can focus their time on more patient contact.
