Give Thanks to Your Hospital Radiothon
Marking the 20th Anniversary of the Dialysis Unit
Woodstock Hospital’s Dialysis Unit opened in August of 1997. Woodstock Hospital Dialysis Unit is a satellite unit out of the London Health Sciences Centre, allowing patients to receive treatment in their own community while still having access to the entire renal team.
Integrating EHR on Bedside Monitors
Woodstock Hospital was the first regional hospital in Canada to go live with an interface that collects patient data from the vital signs monitor to the Cerner electronic health record (EHR). The interface will be integrated into other areas of the hospital, with capabilities to connect to other equipment such as infusion pumps and ventilators.

Unveiling our “CogWall”
Woodstock Hospital has unveiled an interactive wall on an inpatient unit that is meant to stimulate a patient’s cognition, so it has been named the “CogWall”. The wall is located on the Complex Continuing Care Unit (2100). Patient’s admitted to this unit are typically older adults with complex medical and intellectual needs and can remain in hospital for long periods of time.
