Contract Title. New Mexico VA Health Care System Patient Physiological Monitoring- Ketamine Infusion Clinic, 3A-148. 3. Background. The New Mexico VA Health Care System (NMVAHCS) has replaced it s old telemetry and associated physiological monitoring system with a new system by Philips. The system has already been implemented in the GI Clinic and new Step Down Unit [SDU] on 4A, and will be installed in multiple other units in the hospital, such as ASU, PACU, ASC. The replacement was required in order to meet the minimum hardware and software systems A new clinical requirement for a Ketamine infusion clinic was determined to be necessary by the Executive Leadership Team and approved by the Hospital Director after the initial replacement was already in progress. This new clinical requirement for Veteran health and life safety is an additional need that needs to be seamlessly integrated into the existing current Philips system The justification for the monitoring system is for Patient Safety/Life Safety related to treatments/medications given to patients. The medications are in the controlled substance group and relieve the side effects during the infusions. During the administration of these substances and medications, the patients must be monitored closely to identify any immediate interventional needs. This includes monitoring of vital signs (heart rates) and respiration rates. 4. Scope. The current Philips physiological monitoring System will be expanded into the new Ketamine Infusion Clinic, physically located in Building 41, 3A-148 at the NMVAHCS. This expansion will support 6 patients at a single time and shall seamlessly integrate into the current Philips Patient Physiological Monitoring systems. Only Philips Patient Physiological Monitoring equipment and software is compatible with and can be used in a single system that combines it all together to maintain Veteran health and life. It would be both detrimental to Veteran medical care as well as not cost effective to have 2 separate systems that would not seamlessly integrate and communicate with each other.
