Jupiter, Fla. (June 18, 2020) – Jupiter Medical Center – ranked
number one for safety, quality and patient satisfaction in Palm Beach
County and the Treasure Coast region – is the only hospital in the
area to deploy an array of state-of-the-art technology solutions to ensure
patients returning for elective procedures receive care in the safest
possible healthcare environment. These technologies include facial scanning
systems for temperature screening, disinfecting robots and a social distancing
mobile app.
The new innovative technologies encompasses three key areas in the patient
journey – hospital entry, check-in and waiting room procedures,
and sanitizing patient room and procedure areas – to create the
region’s most robust hospital safety ecosystem.
“We want our patients and their loved ones to know they are in the
safest environment possible when they come to our hospital or any of our
facilities to receive the medical care they have been patiently waiting
for,” said Dr. Amit Rastogi, president and CEO of Jupiter Medical
Center. “We have implemented comprehensive safety measures and innovative
technological solutions to vigorously and systematically safeguard the
health of our patients, their families and our team. We understand that
patients are looking for a trusted partner to provide the highest quality
medical care.”
Thermal Temperature Screening, Disinfecting Robots and Social Distancing App
Jupiter Medical Center is the only hospital in the region using Care.ai
facial scanning systems to conduct thermal temperature screening at facility
entry points. The sensors check the body temperature of anyone entering
the hospital, including patients, vendors, physicians and all team members.
The sensors are positioned at each entrance to identify anyone with a
fever, accurately and with no contact between patients and staff.
To disinfect patient rooms and procedure areas, Jupiter Medical Center
is the only medical center in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast
to have fully deployed Tru-D SmartUVC ultraviolet disinfection robots,
which use UVC light technology to eliminate viruses and other pathogens
on surfaces. The robots disinfect patient and procedural rooms, augmenting
the frequent and rigorous cleaning and disinfection protocols being performed
by environmental service teams.
A third safety enhancement is an easy-to-use mobile app, PatientTrak, that
enhances social distancing in waiting rooms. The app allows patients to
see real-time wait times, check-in and manage appointments from their
mobile phone. PatientTrak allows the provider to send a text message notification
to patients when their physician and clinicians are ready to see them
for their consultation, eliminating patients congregating and waiting
together in common areas.
“Jupiter Medical Center has a longstanding record of putting the
safety of our patients and our team members at the forefront of everything
we do,” Rastogi said. “By further enhancing our already industry-leading
safety practices with our investments in this new, best-in-class safety
technology, Jupiter Medical Center continues to demonstrate to our patients
and community why we consistently earn the highest scores of any hospital
in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast on numerous measures of safety
and quality.”
