Reference Case: Streamlined clinical workflow advances quality of care
A frontrunner in the innovative use of medical technology, Sunderby Hospital in Luleå, Sweden, looked at the patient monitor replacement project as an opportunity to raise the level of care they provided. As a result, the implementation went much better than expected and they now have a workflow that allows them to spend more time with their patients and that has actually been lifesaving in some cases.
The hospital team had a long list of goals for the project. First, they wanted to have one vendor for monitoring and anesthesia devices and they also wanted to increase the quality of care and clinical workflow by being able to monitor patients virtually anywhere in the hospital. The Dräger solution fit these needs.
Dr. Åke Jonsson, Anesthesiologist is very satisfied with the new patient monitoring system and states "the great advantage of Wi-Fi for patient monitoring is that you can have an unbroken chain of patient data from the time the patient enters the hospital until they are no longer in our care."
Jussi-Pekka Riikola, CCU Nurse, feels that the new monitoring system has make a positive contribution to the hospital's patient care process. "The Pick and Go system improves our workflow considerably."
Birgitta Boqvist, Nurse Manager, appreciates that the new bedside/transport monitoring system gives the hospital the freedom to locate patients.
Anna Jakobsson, Anesthesia Nurse, cites patient safety and time savings as two benefits of the new monitoring system.
