Patients who’ve experienced cardiac events feel confident in the care they receive from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at Rahway’s Mobile Intensive Care Unit, Chest Pain Emergency Center, and comprehensive Cardiac Diagnostics, because they offer quick response, diagnosis and treatment. With the help of physicians, registered nurses, registered dietitians, and diabetic nurse educators, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at Rahway offers a multidisciplinary approach to comprehensive risk reduction for patients with cardiovascular disease.
And now, with the addition of Marquette Medical Systems IMPACT Paging System, the staff doesn’t miss a beat. This IMPACT monitoring system is so sophisticated that it watches a patient’s every heartbeat. If there are any signs of arrhythmia, the caregiver receives a visual display of the patient’s echocardiogram (ECG). In addition, the pager shows a text screen with the patient’s name, bed number and appropriate vital signs. All this information is delivered to the caregiver within ten seconds of the alarming event.Following treatment, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at Rahway offers patients monitored and maintenance rehabilitation programs at the Nicholas Quadrel Healthy Heart Center. These programs focus on education, exercise and nutrition counseling, and include a Cardiac Support Group designed to provide current information and social support for people with cardiac problems.Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at Rahway offers the convenience and comfort of a full array of community-based cardiac services with a team approach for the best management of your treatment.
