Right Patient. Right Place. Right Duration. Right Cost.
6. Medical care is increasingly becoming unaffordable
with providers facing mounting pressure to reduce costs, maintain quality and increase patient satisfaction.

making hospitalization one of the most expensive types of healthcare utilization
There is a growing number of cases that require hospitalisation.
drivers include: ageing population, increase in non-communicable disease, access to medical aid benefits
Hospitalisation is associated with unintended clinical consequences.
~20% elderly suffer from delirium. 1-in-3 patients will lose functional status. 10% will have hospital-acquired conditions
or fall.
Hospitals are hotspots for antibiotic-resistant infections and COVID19
Causing significant morbidity and mortality in patients receiving healthcare
Approx. 1 in 7
patients entering

hospitals are at high
risk of acquiring a
hospital associated
infection.
Global trends show patients’ homes as a setting for healthcare delivery.
There is a global need to ease the burden on increasingly overwhelmed hospital systems while providing people access to
quality, affordable care.

7. Routine care is intermittent and inefficient
Current vital sign monitoring methods are inadequate as the
intermittent, and infrequent nature (4-8 hours) of vital sign
checks means the earliest sign of deterioration can be missed and
picked up hours later.
Patients are unmonitored for most of the
time where subtle abnormalities in vital signs
can go undetected until complications arise.

ward
8. Enrolled nurses (EN) and Enrolled Nurse
Axillaries (ENA) are responsible for taking and
recording vitals within general wards but can
only interpret the vitals under the supervision
of the Registered Nurse (RN). General wards
have a limited number of RNs responsible for
overseeing the work of ENs a n d E NA s
therefore; subtle abnormalities can easily be
missed.
Poor handwriting leads to charts and handover
notes that are unclear and confusing, resulting
in misinterpretation.

9. Enabling real-time, wireless, continuous monitoring

Our solution keeps patients safe while
reducing additional stress on hospitals and
healthcare staff.
When the Quro Medical platform indicates
that a significant change or deterioration is
occurring, an actionable notification is sent
to the healthcare team to mobilise early
intervention.
