"NEW TECHNOLOGY ENHANCES PATIENT CARE"

The new technology created by the Paris Community Health will enhance patient care by offering nurse-call capabilities in additional departments and adding advanced functions to the system.

The new system was finalized on March 10, is a major upgrade as it not only replaced the old program but also expanded the scope of the system. Departments including Radiology, Stress Testing, and Outpatient Lab never before had nurse-call capabilities in their areas. The components installed in these ancillary departments have “Code Blue” and “Staff Assist” buttons that alert staff in other areas of the hospital when assistance is needed. The system was further extended by the installation of a “Patient Assist” button outside the entrance of the west wing for those patients who enjoy spending time outside.

In addition to the nurse call system itself has purchased new patient beds that interact with the system. These beds alert the nurses before a patient crawls out of his/her bed by alarming if the patient’s weight shifts. These intuitive beds will improve patient safety by helping to prevent patient falls.

In this update, I can say that "TECHNOLOGY" really affect on how can we can approve our interventions in giving care in our patients. This new technology becomes the light of the hospitals and medical clinics to invest in technology to improve patient safety, save money, boost efficiency and position themselves for the future.
