SUTTER HEALTH
San Francisco
Sutter Health is one of the nation's leading not-for-profit networks
of community-based health care providers, delivering high-quality care
in more than 100 Northern California communities. It is also the regional
leader in infant deliveries, neonatology, orthopedics, pediatrics and
cancer care services. Sutter Health supports more than two dozen locally
run acute care hospitals as well as physician organizations; medical research
facilities; regionwide home health, hospice and occupational health networks;
and long-term care centers.
Our contributions included a full assessment of Sutter Health's California
Pacific Medical Center Electronic ICU (e-ICU) in San Francisco. Based
on state-of-the-art monotoring of pacients through remote sensing of vital
signs, this e-ICU provides suplementary round-the-clock nursing care without
the burden of additional costs. This e-ICU promises to be a model for
additional remote nursing facilities around the country.
