Elevating Patient Care at Horizon Health Network’s DECRH site with IBTs
HealthHub Solutions is proud to partner with Horizon Health Network to bring cutting-edge communication and entertainment technology to Alternate Level of Care (ALC) patients at Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital (DECRH). In June, we successfully installed 30 new Integrated Bedside Terminals (IBTs) in unit 4E, replacing outdated televisions and telephones with our state-of-the-art platform.
Our IBTs are designed to transform the hospital experience, bringing patients access to live TV, wi-fi, streaming services, bedside meal ordering, video calling, educational health resources and more, right to the bedside. By introducing this technology, we’re helping Horizon Health Network meet the evolving needs of its patients and their families, offering a more personalized and engaging experience during their hospital stay.
“By acquiring this technology, Horizon continues to demonstrate its commitment to modernizing and adapting to better meet the needs of our patients and their families,” said David Arbeau, Horizon Health’s Executive Director, Fredericton and Upper River Valley areas. “This platform redefines the experience of ALC patients by providing a personalized and engaging system that helps ensure their comfort and well-being while awaiting placement in a long-term care setting.”
“We’re deeply committed to transforming patient care through innovative technology, and our collaboration with Horizon Health is a perfect example of that mission in action. As someone from New Brunswick, it’s especially meaningful to see these advancements improving patient experiences right here in my home province,” said Glenn Gale, Chief Executive Officer at HealthHub. “We’re excited to continue our partnership with Horizon Health, bringing state-of-the-art solutions to hospitals across Eastern Canada, and making a tangible difference in the lives of patients and their families”.
HealthHub’s IBTs are more than just entertainment systems; they are a comprehensive solution that will evolve into a fully interactive bedside experience, offering features such as:
- On-demand television
- Wi-Fi
- Social media channels
- Video calling
- Meal ordering
- Facility information and educational healthcare resources
The installation at DECRH is part of a broader effort by Horizon Health Network to enhance the inpatient experience.
Through our partnership with Horizon Health Network, HealthHub Solutions is dedicated to supporting their mission to provide exceptional patient care through innovative, patient-centric technology.
