Benefits of Using a Virtual Sitter in Healthcare
Improved Patient Safety
Our virtual patient sitter service, a key component of virtual nursing, enables continuous monitoring of patients at risk for falls, confusion, self-injury, or elopement. By prioritizing patient safety, trained virtual observers intervene in real-time and escalate to on-site staff when needed, reducing incidents and improving outcomes.
24/7 Patient Observation
DocVA provides 24/7 virtual sitting coverage so no patient is left unmonitored. Our dedicated team of clinical observers ensures constant vigilance, even during nights, weekends, and staff shortages.
Reduced Staff Workload
Nursing staff are under immense pressure. By leveraging our virtual sitter platform, facilities can redirect valuable staff time to patient care instead of bedside surveillance—decreasing burnout and turnover.
Cost-Efficient Alternative to Physical Sitters
Traditional 1:1 patient sitters are expensive and hard to scale. DocVA’s virtual patient sitter solution offers a scalable, cost-effective model that can monitor multiple patients simultaneously without compromising safety.
HIPAA-Compliant & Secure
Data security and patient privacy are non-negotiable. DocVA’s technology is fully HIPAA-compliant, with encrypted video feeds, secure access controls, and rigorous auditing to ensure regulatory compliance—while also optimizing staff resources by streamlining secure communication workflows.
How It Works
DocVA’s virtual sitter service is simple to implement and easy to scale across any healthcare environment.
Patient Room Setup
Our team helps health systems deploy discreet, high-resolution cameras in patient rooms. Cameras are positioned to maintain dignity while offering full visibility to monitor high-risk behaviors.
Centralized Monitoring Hub
Trained virtual observers monitor patient activity from a secure, centralized location. Our team uses intelligent software that supports:
- Two-way communication
- Motion and sound alerts
- Real-time escalation protocols
Observers can monitor multiple patients at once, with real-time alerts for rapid intervention.
Real-Time Communication
Observers communicate directly with on-site clinical staff via voice call, mobile alerts, or nurse call integration. If a patient attempts to leave the bed or remove medical equipment, staff are notified immediately.
Continuous Documentation
All activities and alerts, including those related to patient falls, are logged securely in our platform, enabling continuous monitoring and providing full visibility for compliance, auditing, and quality improvement initiatives.
