2 PagesMission critical: how Hirslanden Klinik Aarau is improving patient monitoring and throughput Gaps in patient monitoring during in-hospital transitions of acute patients to and from procedures can be dangerous for the patient and leave providers with incomplete medical records. When Swiss hospital Hirslanden Klinik Aarau replaced the fixed and wall-mounted patient monitoring equipment in its anesthesia department with Philips IntelliVue mobile monitors it benefited in two ways: by reducing the turnaround time in surgical cases by an average of 5 minutes and 30 seconds to increase patient throughput, and by eliminating a gap in monitoring of just under 15 minutes, which helped to support the hospital’s goals to improve patient care.
