Fort Carson Evans Army Community Hospital Offers Enhanced Surgery Capabilities with CompView Medical OR Integration Solution
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. & BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evans Army Community Hospital (EACH) has partnered with CompView Medical, a leading provider of integrated visual systems for healthcare environments, to install three innovative visualization and equipment management systems in EACH operating rooms. These systems will increase the hospital’s minimally invasive surgery capabilities.
Over the course of two days in May, CompView Medical installed three NuBOOM® Systems, an exclusive, new Visualization and Equipment Management System that integrates comprehensive visual and information routing, switching, documentation and display capabilities to promote a more efficient operating room environment for minimally invasive surgery. The NuBOOM provides electronics and equipment storage space in a single location, reducing OR clutter and improving organizational capabilities, as well as two patented, highly positionable articulating display support arms that provide exceptional monitor visibility in a 360° surgical area.
“We are honored to provide another military medical facility an opportunity to enhance productivity with an innovative, efficient and cost-effective solution,” stated Paul White, President and Founder, CompView Medical. “We are proud to enable the team of medical professionals at Evans with a product that will assist them in making a positive impact on healthcare in their community.”
“At Evans Army Community Hospital we are going through a period of rapid growth and a boom in business over the next several years as more troops are relocated to Colorado Springs,” said MAJ Elizabeth Javernick, Chief of Anesthesia and Operative Services, EACH. “The NuBOOM Systems provide an excellent means to maximize our OR efficiency and improve turn-over times even more than we already have, allowing us to absorb the extra caseload within a reasonable workday. In addition, our providers will now have more options than ever, improving patient care and emphasizing the teamwork between OR staff members. We are excited to have this capability at our fingertips and feel assured that it is an invaluable addition to our facility.”
EACH has remained at the forefront of minimally invasive surgical procedures since its onset. Like many other U.S. hospital facilities, however, there were infrastructure constraints due to smaller spaces and lower ceilings, resulting in the need for staff to wheel equipment towers in and out of busy operating rooms on a daily basis. The NuBOOM Systems have allowed EACH to update its OR environment to provide state-of-the-art digital integration and equipment management “in place,” without the need for extensive construction or renovation, enabling the surgical team to focus on advancing clinical practice and patient care.
