Our Technology Helps You
The health network’s computerized systems ensure we diagnose and treat conditions quickly and accurately
New technology improves how we care for you and your family. That's why Lehigh Valley Health Network invests in the most advanced computer technology.
We call ourselves a "digital health network," meaning our computerized systems protect patient safety, save lives and ensure we treat and diagnose you and all our patients as quickly and accurately as possible. We're one of just a handful of hospitals across the country that is wired (and wireless) to provide you with the very best care. In fact, when it comes to using information technology to provide you with high-quality, safe care with an emphasis on customer service, the American Hospital Association says we are among the nation’s best hospitals. The association named us among the "100 Most Wired" and "25 Most Wireless" hospitals in the U.S.
Why? Just consider that our digital catherization lab provides images of your heart that are 10 times clearer than those using older systems. This technology provides the most accurate diagnoses possible and allows doctors to perform artery-opening procedures with greater precision.
The Latest Systems
Other leading-edge technologies you will find in our digital hospital include X-rays on computer, world's strongest MRI, digital mammography, linear accelerator, paperless charts, an all-digital catheterization lab, arctic sun treatment for heart attack and stroke, and much more.
A Secure Wireless Network
It's the backbone of our digital hospital. Our advanced, flexible wireless network means that anywhere, anytime in the hospital, a doctor or nurse can look at their wireless devices and get real-time updates on patient conditions. Our caregivers are always connected to the information they need most.
We've also made sure your information is secure. We use leading-edge computer and network security systems so only your caregivers can view your confidential health information.
