What's Happening in Parker, CO…

Parker Adventist Hospital recently introduced a state-of-the-art technology to ensure that cancer patients received proper care.

Using facial recognition technology, the new procedure takes an image of each patient’s face to verify their identity. Without the intervention of humans, the new technology provides radiation treatment with the greatest possible accuracy and removes the risk that a patient will get the treatment prescribed for someone else.

Amy Horner, the director of radiation oncology at Parker Adventist, said that human error is now eliminated. Horner added that the hospital is the first in the world to implement this technology for the treatment of cancer. People from other hospitals from around the world and across the country have been coming to Parker to witness this technology and determine its feasibility for their own hospitals.

Brochure printing can be used to provide more details about such technology and its costs, so any visitors can have printed materials to take away with them.

Horner added that this new technology is part of the holistic approach the hospital takes towards cancer treatment. Doctors now have the ability to provide greater comfort for their patients. A patient’s treatment can now be set using the hospital’s guidance technology and this new facial recognition technology without human intervention, which can lessen the risk of the spread of germs.
