Abstract

Robots in healthcare have emerged in functions ranging from assisting in surgery to offering pediatric companionship. In the United States, robots are considered one of the top health information technology (HIT) trends to watch in hospitals. We employ a case study approach to report the innovative ways in which robots are deployed in one large hospital in Cincinnati. At this hospital, robots assist in laparoscopic and urological procedures. As part of the pharmacy team, the pharmacy robot delivers patient-specific doses of medication. Robotically driven orthosis helps children walk. Still in exploratory stages at the hospital, robots process DNA to spot gene mutations associated with a disease to resolve disorders. The findings of the case study will illustrate the effectiveness of robots in the hospital as well as determine precursors in healthcare operations that are suited for robotic-assistance.
