New Logistics Hub to Improve Patient Care
and Quality
MACON, GA (Tuesday, May 22, 2012) - The Medical
Center of Central Georgia (MCCG) is pleased to announce the grand
opening of the Logistics Hub, Thursday, May 24. The ribbon cutting
ceremony will take place at 11:00 a.m., and an open house will last
from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The Logistics Hub is located on the
second floor of MCCG's East Tower.
In October 2011, MCCG partnered with Care Logistics®, a leading
hospital operating system solution provider for the purpose of
increasing efficiency in operations. The result was the Logistics
Hub. The 7,583 square foot Logistics Hub will be the point at which
patients are accepted, placed and transferred. It will include
space for the hospital's Clinical Staffing Department and House
Coordinators, Centralized Telemetry Monitoring, conference and
teleconferencing space, a "Solutions Center" for weekly operational
meetings and office space to support these functions.
"The centralization of technology in this space will allow for
coordination of all items necessary to facilitate patient movement
through MCCG," said Don Faulk, President/CEO of The Medical Center
of Central Georgia. "Hospitals who utilize the Care Logistics®
coordination model are better able to integrate all the clinical
and non-clinical patient movements and order executions occurring
in a hospital environment to achieve optimal patient flow and
length of stay while enhancing overall patient satisfaction and
quality."
MCCG plans for the Logistics Hub to begin serving patients on
July 9.
