Facilitating Telehealth at Children’s Hospital

For 10 consecutive years, this children’s hospital has ranked among the top 3 children’s hospitals in the nation by US News and World Reports.

The hospital recently began construction on a new 650,000 square foot Critical Care Building. This state-of-the-art tower will expand their capacity by 224 new patient beds, broadening their ability to accept children in need from around the world.

Additionally, the tower features a 90,000 square foot emergency department, a new pharmacy, wet labs, Central Sterile Department (CSD), Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NCU), Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU), Bone Marrow Transplant Center (BMTC), and Operation Rooms (OR).

The patient experience has been central to the overall design of the facility leading to the incorporation of innovative solutions specifically tailored the needs of the children and families they serve. Each room in the Critical Care Building inherently includes telehealth technology capable of connecting patients, families, clinicians and care givers seamlessly into the care delivery process. Imagine how uplifting it is for a child receiving lifesaving care to be able to connect real-time with friends and family.

Iron Bow Healthcare Solutions was selected to provide 168 MedView telehealth units integrated with 55” televisions to create a fully immersive audio/video experience.

The MedView will facilitate a variety of telehealth services including, Patient, Family & Provider encounters, Code & Medical Response Time (MRT), Remote & Family Rounding, Discharge Education, Interpretive Services, Care Transitions & Transfers, and facilitation of nursing workflows.
