Why are cameras necessary to watch my loved one?
Physicians and nurses only view patients when necessary to see how they are doing. Just as your physician needs to see patients in person, Critical Connections physicians and nurses also need to “make rounds” to check on patients. Cameras are located above the door of each patient’s room. When the camera is turned off, it faces inward toward the wall. When turned on, the camera faces the patient and a green light comes on.
