In a recent article published by Hospital Impact, Anne Beekman, Cath Lab Manager at Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids, MI, examines how the safety of physicians is often being overlooked when hospitals look to purchase new equipment in the catheterization lab. Citing findings from recent studies on the serious occupational health hazards in interventional cardiology, she provides eye-opening statistics that show the dangers physicians face when their safety isn't a factor in the equipment decision. As a pioneer in radiation safety, Spectrum has leveraged technologies such as CorPath and others to reduce radiation exposure for the physicians and staff in their lab.
