Reliance High-Tech offers a trusted and cost-effective means of monitoring and safeguarding forensic mental health patients within the perimeter of a secure facility or in the wider community.
The solution can be deployed in conjunction with defined curfews and inclusion/exclusion zones, either to restrict movement in accordance with - for example – community orders or license conditions, or to support the reintegration of patients into society.
This enables the NHS and private sector hospitals to fulfil their duty of care by minimising risk to a patient while providing reassurance to the public. The service includes the provision of a GPS location-fixing device, remote monitoring service and emergency response.
The benefits of forensic patient monitoring
- Facilitates the sympathetic reintegration of patients into the community
- Supports faster rehabilitation, freeing up beds
- Provides a cost-effective complement to residential care or direct supervision
- Better liaison between police forces and mental health trusts
- Increases public/patient confidence and safety
- Alerts to curfew violations and prompts rapid response, enabling mental health providers to fulfil their duty of care
GPS Monitoring
The device combines a GPS receiver, processor and communication components, and is designed to be as comfortable and unobtrusive as possible for the wearer. This device is smaller and lighter than any other currently available yet can accurately locate a patient to within a few metres.
Reliance correlates location-based information and patient data with mapping software that triggers an exception alert if a virtual boundary or conditions of release are breached, enabling our personnel to take appropriate action in accordance with a bespoke escalation procedure agreed with your hospital. As Reliance is accredited to IS027001 standards we are compliant in dealing with the highly sensitive requirements of remote patient supervision
