Sutter Rehabilitation Institute 24-Bed Expansion

Project Overview

As part of the Sutter Health Network’s 24-bed expansion at the Sutter Rehabilitation Institute, CalData Communications was contracted to implement a comprehensive low-voltage system upgrade supporting specialized neurological and spinal rehabilitation programs.

Scope of Work

This project included the extension of nurse call systems, structured cabling (Cat6/Fiber), WAP installation, and support for telemetry and monitoring systems throughout the expanded facility.

Key Features

• Nurse Call Integration: Extended coverage for 24 new patient beds
• Structured Cabling: Cat6 and fiber optic infrastructure for high-speed connectivity
• Wireless Coverage: Comprehensive WAP deployment for clinical mobility
• Telemetry Support: Infrastructure for patient monitoring systems
• OSHPD Compliance: All systems meet California healthcare facility requirements

Specialized Systems

Our team coordinated closely with clinical and facilities staff to ensure all systems supported the specialized needs of neurological and spinal rehabilitation programs:

• Rehabilitation Equipment Connectivity: Supporting advanced therapy equipment
• Patient Monitoring: Real-time telemetry and vital signs monitoring
• Clinical Communications: Integrated nurse call and staff notification systems
• Therapy Room Infrastructure: AV and data connectivity for treatment areas

Implementation Approach

• Phased installation to maintain operational continuity
• Close coordination with clinical staff
• Minimal disruption to patient care
• Compliance with OSHPD requirements
• Integration with existing hospital systems

Results

The completed expansion provides state-of-the-art communications infrastructure supporting advanced rehabilitation services, enabling improved patient outcomes through enhanced monitoring capabilities and clinical workflow efficiency.
