Siemens 64-slice CT Scanner

Our Emergency Department is equipped with the most advanced integrated technology for patient monitoring and tracking, communications, and digital imaging. From the moment patients arrive, they benefit from the enhanced care this technology affords.

• Wireless bedside registration is more convenient for the patient while affording more efficient care.
• State-of-the-art integrated patient monitoring and communications systems enable our ER physicians and nurses to monitor patients continuously and respond to their needs immediately. Patient calls for assistance and monitor alerts and alarms are relayed directly to staff via wireless phones they carry at all times. 
• Patient information follows patients wherever they are transferred within the hospital via our integrated monitoring system. Valuable information, such as lab results or digital images, can be delivered to the bedside monitor or central nurses’ station without disrupting the flow of physiologic data, such as heart rate or pulse oxygen rate, or alarms.
• The 64-slice CT scanner employs the latest and fastest technology to create clear, detailed images that enhance diagnostic accuracy and effective treatment planning, particularly when the heart is involved. This scanner images the beating heart in real time, permitting evaluation of its valves and the motion of its walls in greater detail.
• Digital radiographic equipment speeds diagnosis and treatment by making images immediately available online, eliminating the wait for films to be developed and delivered.
• Physicians enter patient orders electronically via a live ER information system, which enhances patient safety by reducing the chance for errors.
