NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital recently coordinated its fire and life safety inspections throughout its six campuses to support organizational goals and to ensure compliance with outside agency regulations, according to a case study on the Building Reports website.
With more than 2,600 beds, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, in New York City, is the nation’s largest nonprofit hospital. The hospital has more than 2 million inpatient and outpatient visits each year, including more than 275,000 to its emergency departments.
The hospital team overseeing quality control and safety programs needed to ensure that all in-house inspectors and vendors provided device-specific inspection reporting, according to the article.
The fire and life safety team used web-based technology to help solve their inspection-reporting challenges. The technology allowed inspectors to use hand-held computers to scan barcoded devices and upload results to a secure online database.
