At the Monday evening board meeting of the Nolan County Hospital
District held at Rolling Plains Memorial Hospital (RPMH), approval was
given for the purchase of two Phillips EKG (electrocardiogram) modules
for the Emergency Room department.
According to Rosa Best, the Chief Nursing Officer at RPMH, the modules are portable, which leads to even quicker care for patients.
The amount of time it takes to offer this type of care is a factor in quality measures and compliance scores.
Phillips recently updated their system, which now brings the total to around $10,000 for the portable modules.
The hospital already has a Phillips system in place.
