The new space features 22 private patient rooms with space for visitors, a pharmacy unit, and two resuscitation rooms with space for more than 10 providers at a time.The unit is equipped with advanced medical technology to coordinate care more efficiently, including bedside monitors that continuously track and transmit patient data to a command center, according to a Dec. 6 news release.
“This advanced technology is giving our care team instant information that can be used to quickly make life-saving decisions,” Jean Jauregui, DNP, the hospital’s director of nursing for critical and intermediate care, said in a news release. “Instead of relying on old, point-in-time data, we are getting a real-time feed that alerts us when we need to act. This increases our team’s efficiency and helps us provide timely, high-quality and safe care.”
