Jim Sweeney, Chairman and CEO of PatientSafe Solutions, Inc., talks about how the U.S. healthcare system can be significantly improved through technology that reduces avoidable medial errors.

PatientSafe Solutions designs hardware and software solutions to provide patient safety and improve patient, family and nurse satisfaction in hospitals. The Compay's products create a virtual Cone of ProtectionTM around the patient by providing continuous protection from potential medication errors, hospital acquired infections and patient falls in the hospital, as well as other avoidable never events. The Cone of Protection is delivered through an integrated wireless system known as PatientTouch, which is comprised of a handheld device, a bedside portal and a patient wristband. PatientSafe products are installed broadly in hospitals across the United States.
