The outpatient medical building being constructed on lower campus won?t be finished until early 2015 but some of the equipment that will be used in the new building is being decided on now.

More than a dozen vendors from across the country set up shop in Keller lobby Tuesday and Wednesday to display the latest technology in mobile cart and wall mounted equipment. There were also representatives from Dell, HP and Microsoft demonstrating their latest laptops, tablets, small personal computers, and NextPens which will be used on the carts and wall mounts.

Medical staff, who will be treating patients in the Ambulatory Care Center or ACC, got a first-hand look at the equipment and can vote on what they prefer.

?They are completing two types of surveys ? the beauty pageant portion of what they see, what they like, what feels good to them,? explains Bert Romeo, IT project manager who helped organize the event. ?Then I have another questionnaire at Survey Monkey that asks more specific questions.? For example, if you chose a wall mount, do you want it on the left or the right? If you chose the cart, would you leave it in one room or would you move it around? What PC configuration did you like and why? We want them to participate in their future and what their lives are going to be like in the new building.?

The 300,000-square-foot building will have 260 exam rooms. It will consolidate all of the outpatient faculty practices and clinical programs currently located in the Dowling North and South buildings into one location. The ACC will also be the new home for the Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center, which is currently located in the main hospital building.
