Our Adventist HealthCare Rehabilitation team recently implemented Care AI technology across all inpatient rehabilitation rooms — and it’s already making a meaningful difference.

This state-of-the-art system allows for more effective patient monitoring and integrates directly with each room’s television so patients can easily see who is communicating with them. With this technology, we can:

- Enhance continuous virtual monitoring for high-risk patients
- Give loved ones a simple way to participate virtually in key care moments
- Expand access to medical consults
- Improve workflows from admission and throughout the patient stay

Kudos to our dedicated team for embracing innovation and continuing to elevate the patient experience!
