Rethinking the patient experience

As soon as they arrive in a connected hospital, patients will notice the difference – electronic signage shows them how to get around and they can even check themselves in with a few simple taps of a tablet.

Patients can easily see their results and treatment schedule on devices. On the ward, clinicians can also use screens to update their patients so they have a better understanding of their condition, creating a much better relationship between clinician and patient.

The patients themselves can use the technology to contact loved ones and friends, making their stay much more personal and comfortable.

Bed management

When prescriptions are dispensed electronically, medication can be ready as soon as the patient is discharged. This means patients aren’t stuck in hospital waiting to leave and the beds can quickly be made available for the next patient*.

A new way of working built around the carer

Digital transformation is a big priority because of the frustrations around today’s paper-based processes. Smarter ways of working mean carers can better schedule their daily appointments. Carers can achieve more in their day, provide better assistance to service users and feel more satisfied with their work.

Samsung devices reduce travel time by letting carers know exactly where they need to be and the quickest route to take to get there. Once they arrive at the service user’s home, their details are readily available on the same device and new notes or records can instantly be added.

More accurate monitoring and reporting

A digital recording process eliminates errors associated with pen and paper records. Mobile devices track time and attendance so organisations know exactly where carers are and how long they spend with patients. Invoicing for companies becomes a much more efficient process too, which has significant financial benefits.
