Enhancing patient care and staff efficiency through smart technology

FORT WAYNE, UNITED STATES

PARKVIEW REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

This 900,000 SF medical center features over 400 private rooms, critical care and surgery centers, adult and pediatric trauma centers, as well as specialty centers for heart, cancer, women's and children's health, and orthopedics.

Work areas and hallways are equipped with smart technology, such as a nurse tracking and call system, adjustable lighting, over-bed lifts, boom-mounted equipment, and smart beds. These can weigh a patient, connect to the patient’s electronic medical record, and detect bed height to monitor patient safety.
RLB, in partnership with the Carter Group, provided move coordination and building load readiness, including development and implementation of a comprehensive building and patient readiness master schedule, and coordination of FF&E deliveries and installations.
