The Medical Center of Central Georgia and Care Logistics Announce Ribbon Cutting

New Logistics Hub to Improve Patient Care and Quality  

MACON, GA (Tuesday, May 22, 2012) – The Medical Center of Central Georgia (MCCG) is pleased to announce the grand opening of the Logistics Hub, Thursday, May 24. The ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 11:00 a.m., and an open house will last from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The Logistics Hub is located on the second floor of MCCG's East Tower. Light refreshments will be provided.

In October 2011, MCCG partnered with CareLogistics, a leading hospital operating system solution provider for the purpose of increasing efficiency in operations. The result was the Logistics Hub. The 7,583 square foot Logistics Hub will be the point at which patients are accepted, placed and transferred. It will include space for the hospital's Clinical Staffing Department and House Coordinators, Centralized Telemetry Monitoring, conference and teleconferencing space, a “Solutions Center” for weekly operational meetings and office space to support these functions.

“The centralization of technology in this space will allow for coordination of all items necessary to facilitate patient movement through MCCG,” said Don Faulk, President/CEO of The Medical Center of Central Georgia.  “Hospitals who utilize the CareLogistics coordination model are better able to integrate all the clinical and non-clinical patient movements and order executions occurring in a hospital environment to achieve optimal patient flow and length of stay while enhancing overall patient satisfaction and quality.”

MCCG plans for the Logistics Hub to begin serving patients on July 9.
