Margaret Cusumano, vice president of patient care services and CNO at Saint Joseph’s, expressed excitement regarding the use of the technology as part of the hospital’s infection prevention initiative.
“We are hoping that the efficiency brought by Orchid, including the real-time data capture, the automated reporting capabilities and the pre-programmed alerting can help our organization expand the scope of our patient safety rounding program and bring positive and lasting improvements for our patients,” said Ms. Cusumano.
