US-based virtual care solution provider CareView Communications has entered a three-year business agreement with group purchasing organisation (GPO) HealthTrust Purchasing Group.
Based in Tennessee, HealthTrust works with 1,800 health systems and hospitals to help their providers manage expenses and enhance performance.

The partnership aims to deliver ‘immediate and sustainable’ savings for these hospitals and health systems.
CareView Communications chief operations officer Sandra McRee said: “Our GPO relationships are a critical part of our business model and allow us to expand our products and services in a streamlined and cost-effective way.
“Through agreements with GPOs like HealthTrust, we can minimise overhead expenses and partner with those hospitals looking to adopt cutting-edge virtual sitting and virtual nursing solutions.”
The agreement with HealthTrust is expected to build on CareView’s virtual nursing solution, which involves reallocating tasks to virtual Registered Nurses (vRNs).

Alaska Native Medical Center provides services to Alaska Natives and American Indians, including a 182-bed hospital and a medical speciality suite.
In December last year, CareView partnered with Confluence Health, a network of healthcare providers in Washington, with the aim to improve patient safety.
