AGT's Health Risk Management System (HRMS) installed in Norwood Urgent Care Clinic in Massachusetts
State-of-the art urgent care facility built isolation room to provide enhanced patient treatment
SOUTH BEND, Ind., Dec. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Norwood Urgent Care Clinic in Norwood, Massachusetts has taken the Health Risk Management System (HRMS) manufactured by American Green Technology® (AGT) and built a cutting edge isolation room for potential high risk patients. Unlike most traditional walk-in treatment centers, the Norwood facility has invested heavily in technology like on-site lab testing, cardiac monitoring, CT scan, X-Ray and ultrasound services in order to offer alternative healthcare options to consumers.
"Our goal at Norwood is to set a standard of excellence for urgent care clinics across the U.S.," said Justin Mavromatis, Operations Director. "We feel the HRMS is an innovative product to add to our repertoire of healthcare technology. Given the news reports of growing concerns over antibiotic resistant superbugs and the fact we are in the middle of flu season; providing unparalleled patient care is priority one. We think using an HRMS in our isolation room can help accomplish that goal in urgent care clinics. Norwood Urgent Care will be the facility that is prepared for any medical condition that may arise."
"Clinics like Norwood are the perfect application for the HRMS," said Danny Bogar, CEO of AGT. "The HRMS is an environmental disinfection system that effectively purifies the air and reduces the concentration of dangerous surface pathogens like MRSA, influenza and C. difficile which combined kill over 70,000 people each year."
Located just 25 miles from Boston, Norwood Urgent Care anticipates opening five additional centers surrounding the Greater Boston area in the near future. To learn more log on to norwoodurgentcare.com.
The HRMS is distributed by Boston-based Improved Illumination who provides energy efficient lighting solutions to forward-thinking healthcare organizations including acute care hospitals, urgent care centers and skilled nursing facilities.
About Norwood Urgent Care:
Unlike traditional walk-in treatment centers, our state-of-the-art facility boasts 25 urgent care exam rooms, 6 reception windows, on-site lab testing, cardiac monitoring, CT scan, X-Ray, ultrasound and now a state-of-the-art patient isolation room. It is our responsibility to provide urgent and emergent healthcare for any medical condition. The non-medically educated patient may be unaware of symptoms present, indicating a life-threatening communicable disease and it is important to prevent any delay in patient care and protect other patients and employees from disease transmission. In the near future, we would hope that isolation rooms will be the standard in all urgent care centers in order to help contain Healthcare-associated Infections. We pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality alternative to traditional hospital emergency departments.
