CARDIOLOGY PACEMAKER/ DEFIBRILLATOR DATABASE

PATIENT FLOW MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Patient flow management is key to effective hospital operations and optimal patient care. It has a fundamental association with patient access / bed occupancy and essential to our ability to meet future 4HR emergency admission patient care commitments. This technology will dramatically help improve our patient care experience in future years.
