The Owensboro Magazine 2009 - (Page 37) Dr. Kerri Remmel monitors a physical exam and asks questions via robot. outlying areas of the state. Even if they do have to travel to Louisville, patients enjoy knowing in advance who their doctor will be. They also appreciate their hospital’s progressiveness in having technology like the robot available. One of the only downsides to the robot, Knight said, is that while it can glide through the hallways on its own, it can’t push the elevator button. U of L placed the first robot in the state at OMHS in November 2007. Now, there are 12 robots at various hospitals throughout the state, with four more in the works, Remmel said. U of L pays for the robots, so the only cost to the hospital is the electricity to charge the robot and maintenance of the wireless internet signal. “U of L wants to be able to make sure there’s no distinction in the quality of care for any of the citizens in the Commonwealth,” Remmel said. There are about 250 of these kinds of robots in operation nationwide. “It’s very cutting edge,” Remmel said, and while the process has been driven by neurology, OMHS has also used the robot for neonatal consults. Other areas of possible application include pediatric cardiology and high-risk pregnancies. As OMHS manages one of the busiest emergency departments in the state, the robot program is another tool in their arsenal. “We’re very proud of our relationship,” Remmel said. “(OMHS has) been a wonderful partner.” ● ��������������������������� �������������������������������������� �������������� ����������������� ��������������������� ������������������� ��������� ����������������� ������������������� ���������������������� ��������������������� ������������ ���������������� ���������������� ������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������ ���������� ���������������������������������������������������� �������� ������������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������� ����������������������������� � �������������������� � ����������������������� � ������������������� � ���������������������� � ����������������������������� � ���������������������������� � ������������������������� � �������������������������� ���������������������� ����������������������� ��������� ����������������� ������������������� ������������������� �������� ������ ��������� ����� �������������� ���������������������������������������� �������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������� �������������������� OWENSBORO 2009 37
