High Tech Patient Care
High Tech Patient Care
06/08/2004 10:47 AMUSATODAY.com - In the hospital of the future, patients are
pampered guests: This article on a new, high-tech hospital in
Denver has some interesting notes.
Computerized patient records help prevent deadly medication errors.
Embedded nanotechnology chips track everything from drugs to newborn
infants. If an infant is carried outside of a secured area, alarms
sound, and the hospital immediately is locked down to prevent a
kidnapping.
Computers also are used to limit the time people spend in the
waiting areas, which have stunning views of the snow-capped Rocky
Mountains. A confirmation of the appointment is e-mailed to the
patient the day before an exam or procedure. A patient who prints out
the reminder can run a bar code on the page under a laser scanner near
the hospital's front door to check in. The staff sees this on a
computer screen and prepares to greet the patient heading toward the
waiting area.
By evening, the patient gets an e-mail from Brimhall asking how the
visit went and whether the patient had to wait. Each case in which
there was a delay is sent back to the department, which must explain
the delay to Brimhall. He reports back to the patient.
