St. Luke\u2019s marks decade of monitoring technology<\/p>\n
BETHLEHEM \u2014 St. Luke\u2019s University Health Network is marking a decade of \u201cleadership\u201d in patient safety through its use of Masimo continuous monitoring technology, \u201can advancement that has helped the network become the No. 1\u2011ranked health system for quality, safety and patient experience, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.\u201d<\/p>\n
Over the past 10 years, St. Luke\u2019s has implemented Masimo hardware and software across all medical\u2011surgical units and other areas that do not require one\u2011to\u2011one nursing care, according to an SLUHN release. \u201cPatients in these units wear a noninvasive Masimo device that continuously monitors vital signs, enabling care teams to identify early signs of deterioration and reduce transfers to the ICU, sepsis rates, code events, readmissions, and complications associated with sedatives or narcotics.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the release, \u201cA patient can be on a floor at our Miners Campus (Coaldale), and if they are starting to show signs of sepsis, it will trigger an alert in our remote Virtual Response Center,\u201d Dr. Aldo Carmona, senior vice president of clinical integration and chairman of anesthesiology, said in the release. \u201cIt\u2019s mind\u2011boggling to realize that all our patients are getting the same level of monitoring, the same level of scrutiny. There has been a zero incidence of central nervous system injuries from sedatives or narcotics since the system\u2019s implementation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Daniel Candillon, chief medical officer of Masimo, said, \u201cSuch powerful innovation in health care delivery will undoubtedly continue to fuel this unique and historic partnership as we introduce the next generation of wearable sensors and novel disease-detection algorithms into their trusted hands.\u201d<\/p>\n
