UCF Lake Nona Hospital Emergency Department

Orlando, Florida

UCF Lake Nona Hospital is HCA Healthcare’s first Innovation Hub. The groundbreaking work and integration of technology into emergency care results in efficient nursing and quality compassionate care with safe outcomes.

The emergency department physicians are documenting medical information faster than ever, using the latest medical technology to deliver automated clinical documentation – the first in any health system. These advancements reduce documentation burden for ED physicians and allow increased time with patients by utilizing AI technology to create quick and comprehensive medical notes after each patient interaction. Notes are received and uploaded to the EHR quickly. The real value-added benefit for the ED nursing teams’ experience is the ability to access the most current information from the physician for chart review in real-time, enhancing the symbiotic partnership of nurse and physician, leading to better patient care.

Smart TV displays in every patient room provide real-time care plans and team information, and real-time locating systems provide safety and workflow efficiencies.

UCF Lake Nona Hospital ED maintains superior patient experience scores and was recognized as an HCA Healthcare Unit of Distinction, finishing third in the 186-hospital enterprise.
