On May 1, the Spacelabs Cardiac Monitoring
Central Station came online at Boundary
Community Hospital.
Funded by the community
through generous donations to the Fry Healthcare
Foundation Festival of Hearts, the new Cardiac
Monitoring system enables Boundary Community
Hospital to monitor patients in the Emergency
rooms and the Acute Care Hospital from one
central location.
“Spacelabs Healthcare is proud to partner with
Boundary Community Hospital to provide the
latest in medical telemetry," said Paul Sogge,
Spacelabs Healthcare Marketing Communications
Manager. "Spacelabs takes its name from the
company’s origin in the early days of the U.S.
Space Program. In 1969, Spacelabs medical
telemetry monitored Neil Armstrong's vitals on
the moon. Today, the company’s technology is
used by hospitals and care facilities around the
world to watch over millions of patients every
day. With the upgrade, Boundary County
caregivers and patients will benefit from the
latest telemetry system on the market.”
The hospital’s new Xhibit Central Station, with
a high-resolution touchscreen display, will
provide caregivers a detailed view of any
patient on the network. Ambulatory patients will
now be monitored with AriaTele telemetry
transmitters, featuring full color screens to
display heartrate, ECG, and SpO2 waveforms.
Together, these solutions will deliver critical
patient data across the hospital network,
enabling better-informed decisions, increased
efficiencies, and a safer environment for
patients.
No one person can shine on this project and this
install was no exception.
“This took a BCH team to pull off," said BCH
Acute Care CNA James Miller. "After all the
phone calls, e-mails, and tech questions, we are
finally live with the telemetry and cardiac
system. This is another great example of
continually raising the standards of care at our
community hospital. It is always important when
taking care of people that we strive for nothing
but the best.”
Boundary Community Hospital would like to thank
the community for their support of the Hospital
through the Fry Healthcare Foundation. This
cardiac monitoring system is necessary,
life-saving equipment that will benefit Boundary
County and its residents for many years. |
