September 1, 2023- Masimo and Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System (FMOLHS), a 10-hospital system headquartered in Baton Rouge and serving communities throughout Louisiana and Mississippi, have signed a multi-year agreement to implement Masimo monitoring technologies system-wide. FMOLHS hospitals are standardizing on Masimo SET® pulse oximetry, including the use of Radius PPG® tetherless pulse oximetry to ensure uninterrupted continuous patient monitoring even while patients are ambulating.
In addition, FMOLHS is adopting Masimo Patient SafetyNet™, which provides supplemental remote monitoring and alarms at centralized view stations and two-way clinician notifications via Replica®-equipped smartphones, to monitor 500 beds in their medical-surgical, orthopedic, bariatric, and cardiovascular step-down units. Combined, these monitoring advancements are designed to improve patient safety and care workflows by providing continuous, accurate bedside and surveillance monitoring and automating the transfer of patient data across FMOLHS’s continuum of care.
