NEW TECHNOLOGIES
When our new hospital opens in 2017, JBH staff will have sophisticated technologies
to assist in providing excellent patient care. A dedicated team is working to select these
technologies and develop the processes for their use. New technologies developed for the
hospital include a new nurse call bell system to enhance quick communication between
patients and providers by integrating hospital systems with bedside and handheld
devices; a Real Time Locating System to enable users to locate staff and patients and
link equipment with asset management; a Telemetry and Patient Monitoring system
to integrate the information on patient medical devices with care providers’ devices;
a Portering and Housekeeping system to streamline communication from unit staff to
support services and a Security system to improve the communication to security staff.
