The new Stanford Hospital, opening Sunday, borrows ideas about user experience from its neighbor down the road, Apple
By Steven Rosenbush Nov. 16, 2019 7:00 am ET The new Stanford Hospital that opens Sunday borrows ideas about user experience from its neighbor down the road, Apple Inc. The goal is to use technology in a way that makes the hospital more hospitable.
Among other upgrades, patients will be able to use an intuitive keypad to choose entertainment options and will have the option to control temperature, lighting and window blinds from their beds. “We are not doing tech for tech’s sake, but for the patients’ sake,” said Mr. Yablonka, previously CIO at University of Chicago Medicine.Robotic pharmacy. Robots made by Swisslog Holding AG will pick pills and boxes and put them in bags with bar codes, making the process more efficient and reducing mistakes—and freeing up pharmacy staff to work on more complicated tasks. Orders can be delivered by automated guided vehicle, another type of robot, to dispensing stations throughout the hospital.
Remote monitoring. Doctors and nurses will be able to monitor multiple patients from a single remote location. Alerts and alarms will go directly to secure mobile devices carried by nurses and doctors, instead of sounding at nursing stations—reducing noise levels.
