How do Digital Hospitals work?
Digital Hospital was born as information technologies became widely used in healthcare.
The Digital Hospital concept can be explained briefly as a hospital that focuses on using information technology to benefit its healthcare staff and patients. However, more is needed for a hospital to use information technologies to qualify as a digital hospital.
A digital hospital can range from one in which information technologies are used only at the minimum level for administrative, financial, and medical processes to one in which they are incorporated into all operations. There is integration between all types of communication tools and medical devices, and other information systems. With telemedicine and mobile medicine applications, healthcare professionals and patients can exchange data inside or outside the hospital.
Hospital Automation Systems, Imaging Systems, PACS Systems, Telemedicine Systems, Drug Management Systems, and Material Management Systems are all elements of digital hospitals.
Digital systems will facilitate healthcare personnel's work processes by providing instant access to all patient information (such as radiological images, daily medical measurements, and laboratory results). Furthermore, instant access to patient records can prevent medical errors.
Hospitals that adopt the Digital Hospital concept will benefit from the following;
- Having access to patient data in digital hospitals means that physicians and nurses can maximize the time allocated to patients, thereby reducing waiting and hospitalization times.
- Digital systems will minimize medical and administrative errors through easy access to information and registration.
- Digital systems will reduce stationery costs to a minimum. In addition, since radiological images will be transmitted over digital media, the environment will be protected.
- Digital hospitals can maintain, store, and report electronic health records to facilitate the treatment processes of patients as a whole. Diagnostics and patient procedures will be accelerated, while evaluations will become more accurate and precise with this application.
- The digital hospital system warns if the patient is allergic to a particular drug and prevents the wrong medicine from being administered.
- Management in digital hospitals will be able to monitor and evaluate performance more quickly and easily, and this will ensure efficient and effective use of financial resources.
- A comprehensive inventory management system, data mining, and statistical data analysis will be provided.
The transition to the digital hospital concept may seem like a costly investment, but selecting the appropriate devices and digitalization partners can provide hospitals with various savings. In addition, the system also offers several advantages, including fast access to patient information from anywhere, data security, implementation of all services digitally, reduced error rates, reduced costs, increased employee and patient satisfaction, improved diagnosis and treatment, and increased hospital preferability.
