Texas hospital's 'mission control' manages real-time patient movement

Texas Children Hospital honored for innovation solution


Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, Texas, is equipped with a state-of-the-art nerve center called Mission Control that manages real-time patient movement, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.

The hospital earned an ASHE Excellence in Health Care Facility Management Award for its innovation solution.

Mission Control is a 3,500-square-foot nest of computer monitors and digital displays. It brings together security, facilities, code response, critical care admissions, hospital-to-hospital transfers, critical clinical alarm monitoring and room management.
