Executive Summary
Smart hospital technology is evolving at a rapid pace, providing hospitals with new options to enhance the patient experience, deliver care more efficiently and diagnose diseases faster. This report provides clinical and facilities management executives with an analysis of the evolving landscape of smart hospital technology, including digital twin software, mobile apps and health monitoring wearables. The analysis finds that technology innovation is centring on six major categories: 1) patient throughput, 2) patient experience, 3) smart diagnostics, 4) telehealth, 5) building management and 6) multi-systems integration. Given the hurdles facing hospital digitization programmes, hospitals should take an incremental approach to rolling out innovative solutions. Verdantix recommends that hospital executives start with the digital investments that align closely with strategic goals, such as patient throughput, then build out a single pane of glass view to all patient, staff and facilities workflows.Hospitals’ Strategic Goals Centre On Improving Patient Experience And Increasing Productivity
