Mercy Facts

Technology Highlights

• 64-slice computed tomography (CT scanner) (the highest image resolution currently available)
• Picture archival communication system (PACS) digital diagnostic imaging system that generates digital (not film-based) x-ray and other diagnostic images
• Bedside medication verification system that ensures the right patient received the right medication in the right dose. The system also warns of potentially dangerous drug interactions.
• Wireless patient and fetal monitoring systems allow physicians to view patient and fetal vital signs from any computer directly or remotely connected to the hospital’s secure network
• Electronic medical records allow for highly efficient sharing of patient’s medical information

We realize that not all patients who receive services at medial facilities are ill. In fact, today’s hospitals focus more than ever on well patients who need outpatient services such as hospital-based birthing, laboratory tests, mammograms and other diagnostic imaging services, and even elective surgery. With that in mind, we created a hospital that promotes health and wellness in a healing environment.
