LTACH patients are among the most medically complex in the system, including ventilator-weaning and multi-system recovery cases who cannot be safely moved during an outage. Telemetry alarms, EHR orders, and device data must stay live around the clock across stays that average 25 days or more. Continuous monitoring lets us detect and resolve issues before they reach the bedside, rather than reacting after clinicians are affected. For a hospital operating at this acuity, uptime is a patient safety measure, not just an IT metric.
