The case for remote monitoring

Health Estate. 2010 Sep;64(8):79-84.

Abstract

Ian Stone, business development manager at SHJ Pipelines, examines the arguments--logistical, practical and financial, for remote monitoring of medical gas pipelines, considering the advantages of such systems over "traditional" in-house monitoring from all these standpoints, as well as from the angles of patient safety and responsiveness. He also presents the case for retention of the "status quo".
