Bloomington Hospital
Case Study
Bloomington Hospital serves as the hub connection between Bloomington Hospital of Orange County (BHOC) and Bloomington-area medical facilities.
Bloomington Hospital, a regional referral center serving nine counties in south central Indiana, is committed to aggressively investing in new technologies and treatment options for patients. The hospital decided to embrace Smithville Digital’s fiber optics technology as a way to advance medical options and communicate more effectively with all facilities in the healthcare system.
For facilities that aren't located on the hospital's main campus like BHOC and the Radiology Oncology Center, the fiber optic connection is especially valuable. For example, an X-ray taken at BHOC can be transmitted in real-time to Bloomington Hospital, where a physician can view the image immediately.
The hospital's partnership with Smithville Digital supports the addition of advanced medical technologies, increases information sharing and makes communication more effective to better care for patients.
