N.Y.C. hospital stresses technology in new facility

New York City’s NYU Langone Health designed from the ground up to integrate the latest in healthcare information technology


New York City’s NYU Langone Health designed from the ground up to integrate the latest in healthcare information technology, according to an article on the Health Data Management website.

The 21-story Helen L. and Martin S. Kimmel Pavilion is adding 830,000 square feet to NYU Langone.

Digital medication drawers are located outside each patient room at the Kimmel Pavilion and synced to a patient’s Epic electronic health record to make sure they receive a personalized inventory of medications, improving the efficiency and safety of medication management and administration, the article said.

Also, in its operating rooms, surgical teams can display, interact with, stream, record and enhance medical imaging, software content and videos using a high-resolution display that integrates several information systems, enabling clinicians to visualize cases in real time.
