Care for Critically-Ill Patients
Our critical care staff wants to provide
the very best care to your loved one or friend. We have
some important help in making sure our patients are
under constant care.
 The MaineHealth
VitalNetwork is a computerized system that
tracks vital signs and other information about our
patients. The experts at the command center are on duty
24 hours a day. The system can warn the staff about
slight changes in the patient’s condition. Staff at the
center can even talk to our staff through a video
connection.
The MaineHealth
VitalNetwork command center is staffed by
physicians and nurses. They have special training in
critical care. They also have computer access to the
latest medical knowledge.
This system is
important, but it does not take the place of
personal care. It is added care that helps the
bedside staff care for a patient.

7-days-a-week making sure patients across
the state are under constant care.
