Williams wears a band that might look like a typical hospital ID but is actually an electronic monitoring device. His photo helps prevent identity errors, and the bar code keeps track of all his treatments and prevents medication errors. This hi-tech care isn't just a godsend for patients; nobody loves it more than doctors.


My wife developed and implemented this system for the VA. It took her almost 2 years to get it up and running VA wide. She was an RN in SICU for 15yrs before being asked to head up this project.

Needless to say I am very proud.

Bueller? ...had to.

Anyways, grats to the wife. That's a huge stride in the right direction for the VA and any medical establishment to take.
