MEET THE NEED


​






​IV SMART PUMP SYSTEM




$304,000 CAMPAIGN
​

Current Goal - $304,000 SMART IV Pump System 
 
Our hospital needs your support to complete this important goal! 

Our goal is to replace the existing fleet of Intravenous (IV) Pumps to a new SMART IV Pump System.
​
​The hospital requests your assistance in the completion of the 2021 grant campaign to acquire and install 45 new SMART IV pumps to replace the current IV pump system. The existing IV pumps in place at the hospital have outlived their useful life and need to be replaced to ensure patient safety. Aging equipment requires frequent repairs, which slows the efficiency of care, thus putting patients' lives at risk. The time and cost of repairs are no longer economically adequate for the hospital, which has resulted in the need to replace the entire system.  
The SMART IV pumps offer unique features that have the ability to improve the provision of care provided at HDH. The new pump technology uses an in-depth drug library which plays a role in the interception of medication errors. The Hanover and District Hospital will develop a customized library that includes dosing ranges and safety limits for various frequently used medications. When programmed, these libraries provide hospital personnel with the correct dose, flow and duration of fluids.  The drug libraries then act as a safeguard for patients with the feature of a built-in alarm system that mitigates the risk of error in medication delivery. 
The success of this project will directly improve hospital, staff, and patient care by utilizing new safeguard technology to improve patient safety through the reduction of IV pump user error, the improved ability to make software and hardware repairs, and the use of a drug library which can increase the efficiency and speed of care provided at the Hanover and District Hospital.

Finished! Thank you for your support! 
 
Our $350,000 
Cardiac Monitoring System Campaign has been completed with your support! 

The problem that we are facing is that due to its age, the current cardiac monitoring system no longer supports new software updates needed to remain an effective tool for our staff.  Replacement parts are increasingly scarce as they are no longer in production.  Should any parts of the system break down, it would result in costly repairs that would need to be conducted on a case by case basis, delaying the ability of hospital staff to diagnose and treat patients.  Replacing the entire cardiac monitoring system within the hospital is a cost effective campaign. It carries significant benefit for patient care by allowing for more rapid and accurate analyses of patient conditions in every area of the hospital to be readily available to all nursing staff. 
The Philips IntelliVue MX800 is wireless, and has the unique advanced CareEvent Management feature. This feature is capable of sending a visual display of a patient’s cardiac status, blood pressure, respiration, and oxygen levels to the mobile phone or tablet of the nursing staff.  This creates an easy and effective way to send cardiac traces to cardiology specialists for review. As a rural hospital, this availability is especially important, as we do not have a cardiac specialist on site and must send patient information to St. Mary’s Hospital in Guelph, ON. For us, this feature drastically increases the speed in which hospital staff can diagnose and treat patients. ​
