Damovo In Healthcare
Effective communications provide a platform for improved patient care and cost-effective delivery of new NHS services.
The challenges facing healthcare organisations
Healthcare providers are committed to improving standards of patient care. Trusts face pressure to improve staff effectiveness and access to information, whilst also responding faster to patient demands. The higher the standard of care, the more patients an NHS Trust can attract, improving its performance ratings and increasing its financial stability, which is of course paramount.
The right solutions
Damovo has a range of ICT solutions, specifically aimed at healthcare organisations.
Delivering improvements in patient care and ICT support to the 21st Century NHS Trust
Providing a consistently high standard of care is difficult, but particularly so when changing demographics put an additional strain on resources. Patients demand more choice, control and convenience in how they receive treatment.
A Damovo 'medical grade' network enables secure and reliable communication between all stakeholders in the healthcare system. It allows clinicians and other staff to work more productively and with access to information when they need it most. This improves collaboration on patient diagnosis and reduces waiting times.
Damovo can deliver remote management and other network services ensuring ICT availability 24x7x365, supporting and simplifying day-to-day management of patient services. Whilst also providing an invaluable insight into ICT costs.
Delivering improved resource utilisation through IP-based communications
In an environment where resources are scarce, priority must be given to patient care. An effective communications infrastructure, running the latest applications, can make it easier to do more with less. For example, reducing the amount of non-attended appointments will reduce waiting times.
IP-based communications can also reduce management, operational and support costs, while providing a gateway to integrate new technologies which improve the patient experience. Damovo has deployed many standalone IP-based solutions in mixed technology environments, as part of its 'evolution not revolution' programme. This improves the management of resources while enabling continual improvements in the level of care and patient safety.
Delivering increased responsiveness through communication and collaboration technologies
In the healthcare sector practitioners are often on the move. New technologies which offer 'anytime, anywhere' access to information provide enormous benefits for patients and staff. An up-to-date communications infrastructure makes it easier for clinicians to communicate with one another, sharing access to vital information such as patient records and diagnoses. All of which has a positive impact on patient care.
Delivering greater safety and security through equipment monitoring
As medical equipment becomes more portable it becomes vulnerable to theft or simply loss. If equipment is not tracked it becomes difficult to locate when needed, leaving patients potentially vulnerable. Damovo offers ICT solutions that can track equipment, blood, beds and even patients, enabling authorised personnel to locate them quickly, wherever they may be.
Asset Management and Tracking
Damovo Asset Management and Tracking allows healthcare organisations to tag and track their most important assets. Medical equipment is costly and highly specialised. Being able to track and rapidly locate these key assets enables improved patient care and equipment utilisation, better cost control and more efficient maintenance management. Read more…
Telephony Audit
With the recent immense changes in the NHS - e.g. Trust mergers and the introduction of the N3 network, maintaining visibility of telephony changes can be a major challenge. For example, ensuring that the service cancellation process with the telecoms provider has been fully completed before the charges are ceased. In cases where this process has not been completed NHS Trusts will still be charged for services that they no longer have. Read more…
