My understanding is that some "hospital chains" have started doing stuff like this, primarily larger ones, however I think a lot of the smaller / independent ones are often still stuck in the dark ages as they can't afford the hassle of moving to newer technology

Not really. Ours is a small, for profit run institution, that has implemented many of these things, at a faster clip than the local multi hospital non profit institution. Ive learned that what matters most is the hospitals management and how they communicate with their medical staff.
