Ascom, AvaSure team up on AI-powered virtual nursing tools
BAAR, SWITZERLAND and MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES — A strategic partnership between two healthcare technology firms aims to bridge a critical gap in modern hospital operations.
Ascom, a provider of clinical workflow solutions, and AvaSure, an AI-powered virtual care, have signed an agreement to integrate their platforms, seeking to merge virtual monitoring with frontline clinical communication.
Integration boosts hospital efficiency, addresses staffing gaps
The core of this partnership addresses acute operational inefficiencies by creating a seamless conduit between virtual and physical care workflows.
This enables near real-time routing of critical alerts—such as AI-generated warnings for potential patient falls—from AvaSure’s system directly to the appropriate caregiver’s Ascom handset, complete with contextual and actionable data.
This streamlined, interoperable system is designed to influence key hospital performance metrics that leaders prioritize directly.
“This interoperability facilitates care collaboration between virtual and in-person clinical staff, which leads to better informed decision making, improved response times, staff satisfaction, and patient outcomes,” noted Tobias Stanelle, Managing Director, Ascom Americas.
According to survey data cited by Ascom, a significant 74% of acute care hospital leaders indicate that virtual nursing plays a major role in influencing these metrics.
The partnership is strategically aimed at favorably impacting the success measurements of virtual care programs, specifically targeting improvements in care team efficiency, a reduction in response times, and a decrease in operational costs.
Health tech alliance prioritizes vendor-neutral interoperability
The partnership is a direct strategic reaction to the increasing call within the healthcare sector towards open connected systems rather than closed proprietary ones. These two firms are actively pursuing a vendor-neutral strategy that enables their best-in-class platforms to interoperate seamlessly.
“Our partnership with Ascom is a strategic step toward building a more connected care environment where virtual care, communication, and clinical workflows seamlessly support frontline staff and elevate patient outcomes,” said Adam McMullin, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of AvaSure.
The goal is to create a more interconnected and intelligent care setting in hospitals without introducing new technological complexity and additional data silos to already overwhelmed IT departments.
This shift to integrated systems is aimed at offering healthcare facilities a single and adaptable clinical communication and patient monitoring solution.
The bundled service that is available now to shared clientele can be executed as a fundamental element to larger hospital-wide strategies, including full-scale alarm management guidelines or massive virtual care growth plans.
It provides a scalable and practical path toward safer patient care, more satisfied clinical staff, and data-driven decision-making at the point of care.
