24. eHealth services can play an important role for the current and current and future delivery challenges to be faced by healthcare services in Europe. They can provide responses to the socio-economic challenges faced by European healthcare systems in the near and long term. Industry is expected to continue to be involved in the development of these services, as eHealth represents a considerable market for European and international industry players. However, in order to tap into this potential, it is necessary for eHealth services to be devised in such a way as to respond directly to the specific operational needs of the healthcare delivery stakeholders towards whom they are targeted. Essentially, eHealth services have to create value for all stakeholders by devising appropriate supporting business models. Failing to do so will just create a situation where healthcare professionals and institutions would lose trust in these solutions and, as a consequence, refrain from exploiting the positive externalities brought about by these eHealth systems and solutions. 06/12/2010 18

31. Voice nursing In a nursing program, voice technology was shown to reduce documentation time by 75%, improve communication, and improve point of care documenting. The researchers also felt that infection may be reduced because nurses who used this voice technology were not touching as many items that may contaminate the patient. Voice assisted care technology provides hands and eyes free accurate documentation for nursing staff while enabling easy verbal access to patient information, effective communication and real time task management. 06/12/2010 25
32. Concept Withvoice nursing , the purposeis to use voicecommandsinstead of existingpaperbased or handheld solution. Instead of printing tasks or showingthem on a screen, theywillbevoiced to the caregiver. 06/12/2010 26
33. Main use case … Point of care information management Blood sampling Guide nurse on which tube to use Vocal administration Administration Blood pressure, patient weight,… Prescription, … Catering Dialysis information recording Real time task management in patient room Check destination (patient) of medicine Real time asset management togetherwith RFID/barcode/datamatrix 06/12/2010 27
34. Identification Staff Verification Individual RFID tags Difficult to duplicate Ensuring secure automatic clinician login, speeding process Patient ID Individual RFID tags Scanned without line off sight Requiring fewer physical touches, speeding process and reducing chances of nosocomial infections Medication Verification Individually labeled medication doses correctly matched with physician order, caregiver and patient ID 06/12/2010 28

38. Assettracking How much valuable time and resources were wasted due to low visibility of equipment, patients and staff …. “they could spend hours looking for the equipment. The only way we could resolve the problem was to buy more equipment so that it was available on each floor, which increased our operational costs.” 06/12/2010 32
39. Why Asset Management? Createaccountability for assetbeingused in Hospitals Location, maintenance history, availability Perform an efficient « assetfleet » management 5-15% of hospital inventory is written off each year since it can no longer be located or more importantly serviced Ensurehighlevel of availability and usage Equipment moving from patient to patient without going through decontamination in between could become a significant issue
40. Asset management Passive RFID tag on Asset Cheap solution vs Active « RFID gate » in the elevator area to disciminate services/floors Limited cabling Limited investment Regular identification of assetbeingused by staff usingother ID technologies RFID, Voice, datamatrix 06/12/2010 34
