"We've enhanced and streamlined communication so team members can work more efficiently and patients can talk by video to their caregivers, when needed. These tools put information into the hands of the caregivers, which better enables collaboration among the care teams." Russ Peckenpaugh Vice President of Information Services, MarinHealth Medical Center "You know, hospital and hospitality have the same root word. Our patients are more than people in need of medical care. They are valued guests. Our new patient rooms are comfortable and welcoming for patients, visitors, and clinicians." Karin Reese, MS, RN Chief Nursing Officer & Chief Administrative Officer MarinHealth Medical Center Ample space for visitors, and room for caregivers to have easy patient access Patient lifts are just one of many safety features in most rooms Huge windows provide natural light Each spacious private room has a bathroom Technologically, everything about the new Oak Pavilion is state-of-the-art, from the structure of the building to the content within in it. We have an incredibly robust IT infrastructure, both wired and wireless. The building's flexible design allows for housing the latest equipment and easily incorporating upgrades as medical science advances. Surgery & Procedures Our new multi-use surgical suites have space to accommodate the latest advanced technologies so our experts can perform surgery or interventional procedures like electrophysiology, cardiac catheterization, and interventional radiology. Equipment is attached to the ceiling with booms, so the suites can be quickly reconfigured for all types of procedures. We have two operating rooms outfitted for robotic-assisted procedures with the state-of-the-art da Vinci ® Xi ™ surgical robot. Minimally invasive cardiovascular and electrophysiology procedures take place in a specially equipped room where a sophisticated biplane machine provides experts real-time multi views of the heart as they perform complex procedures. Communication Features Overhead paging, an annoyance for patients and visitors, has been virtually eliminated through the use of handheld communication devices for medical personnel. If a patient needs help when a nurse isn't in the room, the electronic call system routes messages to the nurse anywhere in the hospital. Special e-ICU technology allows patients in intensive care to communicate with their providers virtually when needed. Each patient room is equipped with a 55" HD television that also enables instantaneous, two-way video communication with remote caregivers through a cutting-edge virtual care system. Imaging & Radiology Our new imaging equipment is best-in-class. We have the latest generation 256-slice and 64-slice CT scanners and the only Philips Ingenia 3Tesla (T) MRI in the region, for exceptionally accurate and detailed imaging. All the new radiology rooms have the same advanced technology, enabling radiologists to immediately diagnose stroke patients who need a clot-busting tPA treatment. Patient Protection Most patient rooms, including all the rooms in the new ICU, are equipped with lifts to safely move patients on and off the bed. Hospital rooms are typically under positive pressure. With a touch of a button, every room in the Oak Pavilion can be converted to a negative pressure environment for highly infectious patients, ensuring that airborne pathogens won't spread into other areas. Our virtual care fall prevention technology allows for at-risk patients to be monitored so that help can be summoned when needed. Newborns are protected by the Hugs ® Infant Tracking System, electronic wrist bands that connect mother and child and make it impossible for a newborn to be removed from Maternity Care without the system alerting hospital staff.
