Updating Alternate Care Sites to Meet COVID-19 Needs
Johnson Controls equips Bergen New Bridge Medical Center's gymnasium with the fire and life-safety equipment it needs to serve as an alternate care facility during the COVID-19 crisis.
Johnson Controls outfits patient rooms with the necessary technology to keep both patients and staff safe in the new alternate care facility.
Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, NJ
When the COVID-19 crisis reached the Bergen New Bridge Medical Center in Paramus, New Jersey, they knew they could expect a significant increase in patient intake. To remain proactive and prepared, the center wished to create new alternate care facilities to keep up with the growing demand for care and meet the community’s changing needs. They began plans to convert a gymnasium into a 30-bed patient care center, as well as set up two 50 bed tents nearby. However, these spaces were not prepared to house patients in critical care and were lacking basic safety and comfort functionalities.
Advanced systems installation for COVID-19 response
Johnson Controls currently maintains the Bergen New Bridge Medical Center’s campus-wide, networked, fire alarm system and were therefore a natural partner for their alternate care mission. The Johnson Controls team was able to work closely with hospital leaders to identify their needs and install the solutions that would meet them. Due to the rapidly expanding nature of the pandemic, it was crucial to expedite all processes while remaining thorough.
