Digital Hospital Roadmap Future state: Technology enabled efficient processes • Integrate • Enhance integration of applications and services • Seamless communications & alerts • Align applications with business processes • Better quality of care • Reduced number of errors • Improved productivity and decreased cost • Innovate • Pilot & rollout e.g • Messaging & alerts • Location based services • Asset tracking • RFID Current state: Inefficient manualprocesses • Patient bedside terminal/portal • Patient monitoring • Organizational virtualization • Ecosystem partner integration • Enhance • Infrastructure • IP LAN • Wireless & mobility • Security • IP Telephony • Wireless • Reinvention and redesign of care processes • Converged IP network for voice, data and video Ecosystem integration Physical integration Logical integration Service evolution Network enhancement Change Management / New Infrastructure
Creating the Digital Hospital – The Applications Layer - Solutions ..... Patient Bedside Terminal & Portal Messaging & Alerts - Nurse call - Medical team assembly - Hospital orderly - Event driven alerts Location and identification services - WiFi - RFID Device integration - Patient monitoring - Infusion pumps Integration Platform Network & communication infrastructure
Located in Trondheim - Norway’s largest hospital • Premises: Main Acute Services Unit (75%) & University Hospital (25%) • Managed by the Regional Health Authority of Mid-Norway • 950 beds • 8,000 Staff (+1,250 students) • 413,000 patient treatments per year • Provides services & specialties for other hospitals in the region St Olavs Challenges & VisionBuilding a state-of-the art hospital to deliver patient centric services • Hospital was too costly to operate, with annual rising costs • Opportunity to build a hospital that will provide outstanding quality of care • Objective to deliver patient centric services • Transition from one large structure to 11 separate centres • Opportunity to integrate clinical and teaching/research areas (key objective). • Opportunity to integrate University employees seamlessly • Opportunity to exploit ICT to deliver information to the right persons at the right time at the point of care • Opportunity to align business outcomes/process re-design with IT requirements • Become Europe’s/World’s most modern hospital (the hospital of the future ....)
St Olavs Challenges & VisionCont .... “...Based on teamwork working in an integrated environment, with medical expertise, and nursing care focused on the patient.“ • An opportunity to re-structure to enable a holistic view of the patient • Opted for a campus-style layout • 11 interconnected buildings instead of one big infrastructure • Major changes in organisation, support, and building architecture design (influenced by staff & patients) to: • Deliver patient centred services and treatment Vs. traditional approach of patients moved between departments/centralised facilities. • ICT support to provide the right information to the right person at the right time at the point of care • Adoption of the Planetree model: • All-round care and treatment in collaboration with the patient and families • A nursing process that minimises the number of health workers a patient has to deal with • An informed and involved patient: knowledge of their condition should contribute to diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. 500 patient and staff Interviewed: 2,500 requirements/requests
