The Philips health technologies at HealthAlliance Hospital will
help medical imaging technicians capture patient scans fast, with
enhanced clarity for more accurate diagnoses of patient conditions,
monitor patient vital signs with increased efficiency, and enable
patient care collaboration between HealthAlliance Hospital
clinicians and medical subspecialists around the WMCHealth
Network.
Many of the Philips health technologies found in the new
HealthAlliance Hospital are the same systems used at WMCHealth’s
Westchester Medical Center, as well as other hospitals both
nationally and globally that stand at the forefront of healthcare
delivery. For example, HealthAlliance Hospital patients will
benefit from Philips’ industry-leading Azurion system, which
enables image-guided interventional therapies for conditions
affecting the brain and heart.
Michael D. Israel, President and CEO, WMCHealth, and Vitor
Rocha, Chief Market Leader for Philips North America, put pen to
paper at today’s signing.
“The new HealthAlliance Hospital and the accompanying Philips
partnership are part of WMCHealth’s ongoing efforts to equip our
network with the newest medical systems and technologies to provide
the best care possible,” said Israel. “We are bringing some of the
world’s most advanced medical technologies to Ulster County so we
can deliver the highest quality care right here. Thank you to
Philips for this commitment and our long-standing partnership.”
“The WMCHealth Network and Philips share a common goal of
wanting to improve lives. To achieve that goal, we need to work
together to understand the unique healthcare challenges of our
communities and how we can work together to deliver the right
solutions,” said Rocha. “By empowering staff with the right tools
and technologies, we can allow them to deliver on the Quadruple Aim
and focus on what is most important - providing the best quality
care for patients.”
First Phase-Completion of Healthcare Advancement Plan on
Horizon
The expansion and enhancement of HealthAlliance Hospital on
Mary’s Avenue is a key component of a $134.9 million Ulster County
healthcare advancement plan initiated by WMCHealth, in cooperation
with New York State, to consolidate the operations of the two
HealthAlliance Hospitals in Kingston. WMCHealth expects to open the
new HealthAlliance Hospital for care later in 2022.
The new HealthAlliance Hospital will offer an expanded,
modernized area for behavioral health diagnosis and treatment among
other newly renovated treatment units and centers. In the next
phase of this plan, WMCHealth will convert the HealthAlliance
Hospital on Broadway into a walkable health village, where
HealthAlliance workforce members will collaborate with community
partners to deliver preventive and primary healthcare services as
well as lifestyle counseling.
The Benefit of Long-Term Strategic Partnerships
Long-term strategic partnerships help hospitals and health
systems better manage the cost and complexity of their technology
investments, with the goal of improving patient outcomes.
In 2015, WMCHealth and Philips commenced a multi-year deal in
which Philips agreed to supply WMCHealth with a comprehensive range
of clinical and business consulting services, as well as advanced
medical technologies. The collaboration also aimed to redefine how
WMCHealth delivered quality care in all of its medical
subspecialties. A similar agreement with Philips is in place at
other WMCHealth community hospitals, including Bon Secours
Community Hospital in Port Jervis, St. Anthony Community Hospital
in Warwick and Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern.
For the HealthAlliance Hospital partnership, Philips will
provide the latest connected patient monitoring systems, as well as
diagnostic imaging technologies such as CT that can help lower
radiation dose[1], and innovations such as Compressed SENSE for MRI
exams that enable patients to be scanned up to 50% faster[2].
Moreover, HealthAlliance Hospital will offer the Philips Ambient
Experience in the new imaging center, designed to create a calm and
engaging experience for patients, family and staff with dynamic
lighting, video projection and sound, to provide positive
distractions and give patients more control of the imaging
environment.
