The Johns Hopkins Hospital's new home, set to open on May 1, will redefine the very essence of the hospital experience, and cutting-edge technology designed to improve care, streamline workflow and encourage efficiencies will play a central role.
The new building grew out of an urgent need to modernize the hospital's infrastructure to a level that matches the institution's scientific and medical expertise.
The 1.6-million-square-foot structure embodies the Hopkins ideal for the future of health care: the latest evidence-based, most scientifically advanced therapies, delivered safely, efficiently and appropriately in a setting that makes the patient experience as pleasant as possible.
"Our new home represents our vision for healthcare," says Edward Miller, M.D., dean and CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine. "It has the space and technology to match our researchers' scientific knowledge, our faculty's medical acumen, and our staff's clinical skills, but it also adds the patient experience as the fourth critical dimension in this equilibrium."
Located at 1800 Orleans St.Handmade oil paintings for sale at museum quality,,Excel Mould is a Custom Injection Moulding Manufacturer Maker, the building comprises two 12-story towers that rise from an eight-story base. The towers, The Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children's Center, and the Sheikh Zayed Tower, feature 560 private patient rooms, 33 ultra-modern operating rooms, and adjacent adult and pediatric emergency departments with shared trauma areas.
Technology will enhance care in three ways: greater precision and safety, better patient experience and improved coordination and smoother workflow to save time and resources.
At the new Hopkins hospital, the latest imaging technology will offer a level of detail that will enhance the precision and safety of many procedures.Omega Plastics are leading plastic injection moulding and injection mould tooling specialists.
A 3-D navigational imaging system will help surgeons thread through complex brain structures during delicate neurosurgical procedures. The system uses MRI images and works as a surgical GPS that allows surgeons to determine their location in real time and in a three-dimensional space, explains pediatric neurosurgeon Edward Ahn, M.D.
In the new pediatric cardiac catheterization lab, where cardiologists perform many procedures with minimally invasive techniques, three-dimensional technology will provide high-definition images to ensure accuracy and improve results,Bathroom Floor tiles at Great Prices from Topps Tiles. says pediatric cardiologist Richard Ringel,Our team of consultants are skilled in project management and delivery of large scale rtls projects. M.D. For example, Ringel says, patients with congenital heart disease often require periodic work on their pulmonary arteries, whose complex anatomy is not well captured on standard X-ray images. Three-D imaging allows better planning and execution of procedures like stenting and dilation of narrowed pulmonary vessels, Ringel says.
All radiation-based imaging equipment, such as X-rays and CT scanners, will use the newest techniques to reduce the applied radiation dose to a minimum. In addition, using the most sensitive, highest-speed CT scanners will eliminate the need for sedation in many young children who tend to fidget.
"If we can get an image in 5-10 seconds instead of 1-2 minutes, we may no longer have to sedate the child," says Thierry Huisman, M.D., director of pediatric radiology.
Inside the neurosurgery operating rooms, a powerful intraoperative MR scanner suspended from the ceiling on rails can slide easily between two rooms to give instant, on-the-spot feedback in real time. For example, a patient's brain can be scanned immediately after tumor removal, while the patient is still on the operating table. In mere seconds, the surgeon will know if more brain tissue needs to be removed.
All 33 operating rooms are equipped with cordless, tank-free booms for medical gases and suction. The configuration will eliminate clutter on the floor and the need to haul heavy tanks with nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide in and out of the ORs.
Each operating room is outfitted with large flat-screen monitors and an audio-visual integration system that allows seamless interaction between radiology and surgery. Thus, OR staff will be able to pull up any image any time from the radiology database. A surgeon performing a spinal operation, for example, will be able to reference past MRIs or X-rays without leaving the room.
