Economic impact of a vision-based patient monitoring system across five NHS mental health trusts.

ABSTRACT: A vision-based patient monitoring system (VBPMS), Oxevision, has been introduced in approximately half of National Health Service (NHS) mental health trusts in England. A VBPMS is an assistive tool that supports patient safety by enabling non-contact physiological and physical monitoring. The system aims to help staff deliver safer, higher-quality and more efficient care. This paper summarises the potential health economic impact of using a VBPMS to support clinical practice in two inpatient settings: acute mental health and older adult mental health services. The economic model used a cost calculator approach to evaluate the potential impact of introducing a VBPMS into clinical practice, compared with clinical practice without a VBPMS. The analysis captured the cost differences in night-t
