Three North Shore-LIJ locations in New York already feature remote video auditing services, including Forest Hills (N.Y.) Hospital, Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park and North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset.
“Beginning in 2008, North Shore-LIJ became the nation’s first healthcare provider to use video monitoring as part of our efforts to strengthen patient safety,” said Michael Dowling, president and CEO of the health system. “Given our success in improving hand-washing compliance in our ICUs and surgical safety in our [operating rooms], we are excited to pioneer the use of video auditing in other important patient care areas.”
The health system will expand the services to more than 140 patient care rooms, including NSUH’s Schwartz Ambulatory Surgery Center in Manhasset and the North Shore-LIJ Center for Advanced Medicine’s Ambulatory Surgery Center in Lake Success.
