Smart Hospital Bacău, a leading medical institution in Romania, has taken a huge step forward in improving patient care and operational efficiency. The hospital has introduced auxiliary care and fall detection radars, along with thermal presence detectors from Hikvision. It's a great example of how smart devices can transform healthcare, leading to better outcomes for both patients and medical staff.
The limitations of traditional nurse call systems
Smart Hospital Bacău offers palliative care as an essential part of its services. Because of their fragile health conditions, palliative care patients often need round-the-clock monitoring. The hospital recognized this need and was eager to enhance its capabilities in this area. Traditional nurse call systems have limitations, as they depend on patients being conscious and able to press a button which is not always possible for severely ill or less-mobile patients. However, the hospital was aware of these constraints and was determined to find better solutions.
Previously, the hospital relied on manual patient checks, paper records, and verbal shift-to-shift communication. While these methods have been part of the healthcare routine, they put a heavy workload on staff. Without real-time monitoring tools, the hospital's care approach was more reactive. But the hospital saw this as an opportunity for growth and was committed to safeguarding patients and staff from preventable incidents.
Smart devices, smarter care: Hikvision's comprehensive healthcare solution
To address these challenges, Smart Hospital Bacău partnered with Next M, a leading technology solution provider, to implement a smart healthcare solution using Hikvision products. The solution included auxiliary care radars, fall detection radars, thermal presence detectors, touchscreens and a centralized LCD display, all integrated into the hospital's nurse call platform.
In the palliative care rooms, each of the 30 beds were equipped with Auxiliary Care Radars (DS-TDSB00-EKH/POE/2m) and Bedside Touchscreens (DS-KHH9530-H(O-STD)/M). The radars can monitor heart rate and respiration without the need for patients to wear any devices. These radars also detect bed presence, sleep patterns, and abnormal movements, sending real-time alerts to nurses when there are issues. The touchscreens had the Info World (IW) Mobile module deployed by the healthcare software expert Info World. They ensured full software integration with hospital databases, interoperability with the hospital info and pharmacy systems. Through secure Android integration, the touchscreens serve as point-of-care digital assistants that enable medical staff to access patient records at the bedside.
