Added Care for Critically-Ill Patients

Our critical care staff wants to provide the very best care to your loved one or friend. We have some important help in making sure our patients are under constant care.

The MaineHealth VitalNetwork is a computerized system that tracks vital signs and other information about our patients. The experts at the command center are on duty 24 hours a day. The system can warn the staff about slight changes in the patient’s condition. Staff at the center can even talk to our staff through a video connection.

The MaineHealth VitalNetwork command center is staffed by physicians and nurses. They have special training in critical care. They also have computer access to the latest medical knowledge.

This system is important, but it does not take the place of personal care. It is added care that helps the bedside staff care for a patient.
