Healing with Technology

Patients utilize a custom-designed, handheld control unit that allows them to:

•  

Push a special button that signals that they are in pain. A nurse will respond with that patient’s pain relief medication, without having to make an additional visit to assess the patient’s needs. Another button on that same unit can be pushed by a patient to secure other personal assistance services from designated caregivers.


 
•  

Retrieve health education videos and programming related specifically to their condition, played on the in-room television monitor.

 
•   Adjust the room temperature.
 
•   Provide information in English, Spanish or Japanese.
 
•   Order meals.
 
•   Order housekeeping and maintenance services.
 
•   Receive a complete hospital (and surgical) video orientation.
 
•   Little Company of Mary caregivers carry wireless communication devices for instant access to physicians, nurses and patients.
 
•  

Patient records and imaging results will be digitally stored, allowing for easier access in the future by caregivers and patients and for overall continuity of care for the patient.

 
•  

The Little Company of Mary Technology Center is the nerve center for all technology and information systems in use throughout Little Company of Mary. This building also houses our consolidated clinical laboratory.  

 
•  

Portable, wireless bedside computer admission systems are available on each floor (below), allowing for localized, expedited admission processing for patients who were not able to be registered upon first entering the hospital.  

 
•  

Friends or family members can send an e-mail message to a patient or check our Gift Shop for gift ideas.
