Book into the new
Let's start with the blood sample taken from your arm as you are wheeled in the door.
By the time you are through the security doors and into the emergency area, that sample could have been sent through to the lab by vacuum tube and analysed by a machine which automatically feeds a preparative result into the clinical database.
Less than a minute after the sample is processed, the doctors can see the results through the monitors beside every position in the emergency suites.
As you are being wheeled in, you may notice cameras in the ceiling. The hospital has spent $4 million on its camera security system to protect staff and patients.
When you come to in the neighbouring Admission and Planning Unit, the clinician(临床医生) may be looking at all your records, x-rays and even documents sent in by your GP on a Compaq tablet PC wirelessly connected to the network by an 802.11 "WiFi" card.
It's not ideal for viewing images, but it should be good enough for a bedside consultation(会诊).
If the clinician needs to consult a specialist or your GP, the other party can see the same records from home or office through a secure internet connection.
Dr Nigel Murray, general manager of the hospital building programme, said about $30 million of the $500 million budget for the project had been spent on information technology.
