Hospitals use significantly more energy than similarly sized commercial buildings. Without a holistic technology strategy, hospitals will increasingly struggle to meet the demands placed upon them. Sponsored by SiemensInfra Read more:
Hospitals are under huge pressure. While an aging global population continues to increase demand for healthcare services, a deficit of staff – predicted to be some 18 million workers worldwide by 2030 – is leaving hospitals struggling to keep up. Energy costs are rising, there is continual pressure to decarbonize, and patients - now accustomed to managing their lives in a digital, app-based environment – have ever-higher expectations of service levels.
For example: in a code blue situation, a patient needs to be transported to an operating room as swiftly as possible. By connecting real time location services , access control, elevators, lighting and HVAC, the team transporting the patient could be accurately tracked. Doors on their route are automatically unlocked, elevators are reserved and waiting with the doors open, and the operating room is automatically switched to full operating mode before the team arrives.
The adoption of new service models is also making technology deployment in hospitals more cost effective. For more than ten years, an energy service agreement between Siemens and St Joseph’s Hospital in Berlin has, with a combination of technologies including the Desigo CC building management system, achieved average energy cost savings of €340,000 per year, and reduce CO2 by 1,300 tonnes per year.
