MEDICAL AND SPECIALTY SERVICES ============================== IMC is a nonprofit healthcare organization that provides a broad spectrum of inpatient care and ambulatory care. In addition to its general medical, surgical, obstetrical, gynecological, pediatric and psychiatric services, IMC offers a wide array of diagnostic and treatment modalities and various specialty services.

SERVICES AND PROGRAMS ===================== Inspira offers a variety of significant services and programs, several of which are described below. Inspira Medical Center Elmer ---------------------------- Inspira Medical Center Elmer is a 96-bed primary healthcare provider in Southern New Jersey. In the last several years, Elmer has undergone some renovations including the opening of their intensive care unit; a modern surgical services department; a new child/adolescent intensive outpatient mental health unit; a new maternity care center; a new physician care center, a free-standing outpatient physical therapy site; a redesigned operating room, emergency room, lobby and registration area. Inspira Medical Center Vineland ------------------------------- Located on a 62.5-acre campus in Vineland, Inspira Medical Center Vineland is a 491,989 square-foot, 276-bed facility, which opened in August 2004. In addition to offering comprehensive medical technologies and services, the Inspira Medical Center Vineland's design also emphasizes patient comfort. Inpatient Care Centers of Excellence ------------------------------------ Inspira Medical Center Vineland operates four inpatient care centers: - Women's & Children's Center of Care - Home-like labor and delivery suites - Surgical Center of Care - 10 operating suites, a modern ICU/CCU and rehabilitation services - Medical Center of Care - Acute, ICU and post-ICU, dialysis, chemotherapy and medical infusion services - Cardiology Center of Care - 37 bed cardiac acute care unit, ICU and post-ICU and cardiopulmonary unit The inpatient care centers allow for the co-location of like acute and critical care units. The surgical intensive care unit is adjacent to the surgical step-down/post-intensive care unit. This step-down unit is likewise adjacent to the surgical acute care beds. As the patient's illness or injury becomes less acute, the patient can move down this continuum of care without ever physically leaving the inpatient care centers. This configuration also simplifies physicians' rounds. All patient rooms at the Inspira Medical Center Vineland are single patient rooms which increases patient privacy, confidentiality and comfort. The use of private rooms allows for more efficient care and reduces the risk of patients contracting a nosocomial infection during their stay. Also, given the increase in patient acuity and the corresponding increase in demand for more equipment, private rooms provide more space for specialized equipment and caregivers at the bedside. Rooms at Inspira Medical Center Vineland are designed with viewing windows along the hallway allowing patients to be observed by medical personnel without being disturbed.

While this nurse call system improves inter-staff communications, it also improves patient care by reducing the time required to get the necessary staff and resources to the bedside. - A pneumatic tube system carries lab tests, pharmaceuticals and patient charts throughout Inspira Medical Center Vineland. This tube system, hidden behind the walls, greatly improves the turnaround time for lab tests and new drug orders. - The medication administration check system ensures patient safety by allowing nurses to scan barcodes at the bedside positively linking the prescribed drugs with the intended patients. - A teleneurology program gives Emergency Room patients quick access to board-certified neurologists, 24/7, and allows emergency room staff to provide rapid stroke diagnosis at a moment's notice. - Digital mammography is available and provides state-of-the art imaging technology for thousands of screenings for breast cancer. - Surgiboards, an innovative patient tracking system, brings a new level of efficiency to the surgical services department at Inspira Medical Center Vineland providing real-time monitoring and instant communications to staff in key locations throughout surgical services. - IMC initiated its own Health Information Exchange (HIE) bringing network physicians onto their own electronic health record. - Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) provides an opportunity to standardize physician order sets and workflows, enhancing patient care and patient safety.
