Subject:Expansion of Bedside Patient Monitoring Devices in the Emergency Department and Upgrade of Central
Station Servers for Patient Tra
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
and technical support for these devices is no longer possible. Recent failures of the
central station servers in the Intermediate Care Department (IMCU) and the Emergency
Department (ED) make this an urgent purchase. The ED census over the past 3 years has
tripled and patient care acuity has also increased, requiring more patients to need
physiologic monitoring which includes an electrocardiogram (EKG) waveform, oxygen
saturation levels, respiration readings and blood pressure readings. ED monitors are
mandatory for the safe treatment of our patients.
