In modern hospitals, technology is critical to staff productivity and patient care. Complex tasks such as patient data collection, diagnoses and monitoring must be performed without error to ensure successful treatment. Cutting-edge technologies are used in German hospitals to monitor the well-being and recovery progress of patients in order to reduce the risk of complications.
Therefore, it is elementary that all devices have efficient software to ensure smooth operation. The same applies to reliable alerting and notification software in order to be able to act in emergency situations. But how does a hospital function in these areas?
How does a hospital work in terms of software distribution and packaging?
Monitoring and software distribution are crucial components of technology management in every German hospital. Software distribution allows administrators to provide new software or updates to all computers and endpointsconnected to the network.
It also allows adding users, installing software and making settings. This is elementary in order to, for example. MRI equipment through new programs or to manage patient data digitally.
Therefore, hospitals benefit greatly from effective software distribution. To optimize this even further and make it more efficient, a software packaging solution comes in handy. It is essential for optimal software distribution. It is used to prepare and customize the installation of software on multipledevices. The corresponding software package includes all necessary parameters and data required for a professional and fast installation of the software.
A software packaging solution like IDERI pace thus optimizes the entire software distribution of hospitals. As a result, computers and mobile devices can be efficiently supplied with new software and are ready for immediate use. This results in the following advantages:
- Complete installation of new software
- Quick installation of updates for new and existing software
- Area-wide and time-saving installation
- Greater compatibility between endpoints - Enables effective and reliable operation
Proper installation of software for medical use saves lives! It ensures that, for example, CT or X-ray equipment functions properly with regard to programming. This allows the attending physician to reliably evaluate data and make diagnoses.
How does a hospital function in terms of monitoring and alerting system?
Monitoring systems in hospitals are responsible for collecting and analyzing information about patients‘ health status. They can reveal data about the course of treatment and help in the early detection of risks. Monitoring systems should also have alarm functions so that medical personnel can be notified immediately if expected physiological values are out of range. In addition, they help schedule treatments or medications as needed.
Therefore, it is elementary for a hospital that all systems work reliably. This applies in particular to communication. It is the key to functioning monitoring and effective alerting in emergency situations. It benefits all patients in inpatient care as well as those undergoing outpatient treatment.
It also ensures the necessary safety and functionality of the systems. Should for example equipment fails or a fire breaks out, this information must be communicated immediately.
Here, it is elementary to rely on notification software such as IDERI note, which immediately forwards the information to all employees. It can be linked to all relevant interfaces. This concerns alarm systems as well as monitoring and surveillance systems.
It provides immediate warning of fires, disasters and medical emergencies. Furthermore, it gives personnel a time advantage in responding to such threats and emergency situations. IDERI note thus improves communication through direct notifications to all employees.
Here, it is crucial that a hospital’s workforce receives such information simultaneously and can visibly perceive it. The notifications appear as push messages or pop-up windows, directly on the screens of computers and mobile devices.
Rapid transmission of information saves time and enables quick response to medical emergencies, such as cardiac arrest in the patient. The ability to act quickly is crucial when it comes to saving lives. Therefore, notification software is essential for hospitals.
Targeted alerting with IDERI note
An effective alerting system is highly relevant to hospitals and should link seamlessly with notification software. This applies to both alarm and fire protection systems. As soon as the sensors of the alarm systems detect suspicious activities or temperature changes, the triggered alarm must immediately and reliably reach all persons.
IDERI note is for example compatible with all common systems. For use in clinics, among other things, a Silent alarm on.
With this, all (responsible) caregivers and physicians can be informed about an emergency situation directly and discreetly. A silent alarm can be triggered directly by button or key combination without much fuss.
This gives the personnel a time advantage and enables a quick reaction in dicey situations. It can be used in a variety of scenarios:
- Rapid response in the event of aggressive patients (discreet de-escalation by the security service)
- First warning level for fires: All hospital staff can thus prepare evacuation measures before the audible alarm sounds. This allows evacuation without causing panic.
In addition, IDERI note offers further options. Thus, the notification can be combined with an audible or visual alarm. For example all emergency room staff and paramedics can be informed about an accident at the same time and initiate the appropriate preparatory measures.
How does a hospital function in terms of indoor air monitoring?
In hospitals, clean indoor air is of great relevance. In recent years, the Covid-19 pandemic demonstrated the importance of good ventilation to contain the spread of pathogens. Therefore, constant control of indoor air is essential to protect patients, staff and visitors. Critical values must therefore be effectively recorded and communicated to the relevant employees.
How does a hospital function in this area? Room air sensors like IDERI care measure precisely and indicate indicates a high level of virus-contaminated indoor air. The values are immediately transmitted to the screens of the employees. These can thus take direct countermeasures. Accordingly, they actively contribute to improving their own health and that of patients and visitors. In addition, it can also be used to combat the spread of viruses.
How does a hospital function safely and reliably?
A hospital can be quickly and easily optimized through software distribution and packaging, as well as monitoring and notification software. This ensures efficient operations from which both staff and patients receiving both inpatient and outpatient treatment can benefit in the long term.
In addition, it is important to install an alarm system to inform all employees quickly and effectively. Implementing these systems can increase the hospital’s effectiveness in prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
Likewise, monitoring indoor air quality helps protect the health of patients and staff.
