3. Clinical Productivity challenges
Examples
• Doctors: Seeking data and information
− To and from meetings, rounds and
demonstrations (Radiology, Pathology, Labs)
− To see the next patient
− Professional tasks are done sitting or
standing at a work-place
• Nurses: Seeking data, information,
persons or assets
− To and from patients in general
− Responding to nurse-calls
− Rounds
− Checking and reporting med-tech. devices
− Messaging and transporting paper-based information
− Seeking for, and transporting assets
• Productivity: Healthcare lagging behind other industries
4. How ICT can help
• Medical staff
− Manual processes automation
− Digitization process / analog systems
− Improve the capture and dissemination of clinical information
− Facilitate mobility and location of personnel and health
equipment
− Integration of Clinical and Business Applications
− Exchange and distribution of data, images and clinical information
(i.e. e-salud initiatives)
• Patient
− Ensure that the required information is at the right time and
place
− Enable personalized and remote attention through
collaborative tools (Telehealth, remote diagnostic, remote
assistance, etc. ..)
− Facilitate the monitoring of chronic and infectious diseases
− Dissemination of health information (prevention campaigns,
vaccinations, etc. ..)
− Empower the individual to manage their own health
5. What is a Digital Hospital?
− Relies on technology as an integral &
fundamental part of its business strategy
− Enables the organization to leverage its
potential for delivering higher-quality
patient centric care, in increasingly
efficient ways through the use of
technology & process redesign.
− Builds on an Enterprise Architecture that
goes beyond advanced clinical systems &
includes technology integration to create a
pervasive, real-time health information
environment

21. Benefits for Nurses – St Olav’s hospital
“I now have greater freedom to
deliver on the core services and
more time to spend with my
patients, which I used to spend
filling out forms, making endless
phone calls, chasing relevant patient
information and test results, or just
tracking down people.”
Aud Olsen, Head Nurse, St Olav’s
hospital
Productivity
Walking distances significantly reduced
− Old facility 5.3 km = 1 hour 7 minutes of a 7 hour shift
− New facility 3.5 km = 45 minutes of a 7 hour shift – 23
minutes per day released for patient care
