A new technology provides visitors of surgery patients, real time information regarding their loved one’s condition. The latest equipment installed in the Adena Regional Medical Center are tracker boards that update information to a patient’s status inside the surgery room. The trackers display each care stage which basically includes the first assessment, the patient’s transfer to the operating room, when the surgery starts and when the surgery has ended and completed and the post surgery care. The system provides confidentiality. It operates through a card given to the family with specific instructions on how to access their patient’s status. The new system also was installed in their ER Department.
