The hospital’s ORs now feature the BDV Clarity package, which includes a suite of tools designed to further enhance patient care and procedural efficiency. The package comprises Nurse Core View, Physician Remote and Media Repository.

With Nurse Core View and Physician Remote View, St. John’s Hospital will be able to monitor its patients and obtain their live status through the HL7 messaging system linked with BDV’s integrated OR system.

The BDV Clarity Media Repository application will help the hospital’s clinicians archive and securely review surgical images and recordings after their procedures.

"Those costs are currently eye-opening. This would be friendlier to the environment as well."
