CareView Communications, Inc. ("CareView" or the "Company") (OTCQB: CRVW), an information technology provider to the healthcare industry, has been awarded a group purchasing agreement for its CareView Patient Safety System® with Premier, Inc. Premier is a leading healthcare improvement company, uniting an alliance of more than 4,400 U.S. hospitals and health systems and approximately 225,000 other providers and organizations to transform healthcare. Effective June 15, 2022, the new agreement allows Premier members the opportunity to take advantage of pre-negotiated special pricing for CareView products.

The CareView Patient Safety System, including its patented Virtual Bed Rails® and Virtual Chair Rails®, uses predictive technology to differentiate between normal patient movements and behaviors of an at-risk patient. This results in fewer false alarms, quicker staff interventions, and a significant reduction in patient falls.

“We are excited to be able to provide a comprehensive patient safety solution through this new agreement, especially at a time when nurses and caregivers are being asked to do so much more with much fewer resources,” said Steve Johnson, CareView’s CEO. “Video patient monitoring can be an appropriate intervention for monitoring patients at risk for falls, self-harm, substance abuse, or suicide, along with a comprehensive patient safety program.”

“At CareView, our mission is simple -- reduce sitter costs, lower patient falls, and inspire a culture of always-on safety in every facility running the CareView Patient Safety System,” states Sandra McRee, CareView’s COO. “Under the new Premier contract, we’ll be able to continue and grow our commitment to that mission.”
