Nebraska Medicine Prepares for Problems That Are 30 Years Out
Video Interview features Kara Tomlinson, Executive Director of System Care Delivery and Innovation & Ron Carson, Executive Director of Enterprise Applications at Nebraska Medicine
In this video, two hospital managers present an extended and intriguing view of major design changes that bring in state-of-the-art technology making sure that it “fades into the background” while clinical care takes the focus.
Kara Tomlinson is Executive Director of System Care Delivery and Innovation and Ron Carson is Executive Director of Enterprise Applications at Nebraska Medicine. They have not let the age of their building—more than 50 years old—or the presence of legacy technologies keep them from dreaming big and “redefining what the hospital of the future means.”
One major example is replacing the traditional dry erase board, a staple in many hospital wards, with the Insight Digital Whiteboard, part of the Vibe Health platform by eVideon. Although easy to use, the old boards limited efficiency and accuracy, were prone to human error, and—most important—weren’t integrate with other systems.
