Just What the Doctor Ordered: Fully Integrated Control System- All-digital environment enables Wisconsin medical center to go 'chartless'

摘要

In 2006, Ministry Health Care and Marshfield Clinic joined forces to build the USD92.5 million Weston Regional Medical Center in Weston, Wis. The 56-acre campus includes an 85,000-sq-ft medical office building, the 90,000-sq-ft Marshfield Clinic, and the 475,000-sq- ft, 104-bed St. Clare's Hospital. This article will discuss the cabling infrastructure and network integration that made St. Clare's one of the first fully-digital and integrated hospitals in the United States and earned Ministry Health Care and HGA Architects and Engineers a Networked Controls Leadership Award from HPAC Engineering in 2007.
