Track 1: THE Smart Hospital

From radio-frequency identification and real-time location
services, to smart rooms and
systems that monitor, control,
and adapt for energy efficiency.
The world of possibility and innovation has grown by leaps and
bounds in the medical industry.
The Smart Hospital track will
help you keep up with the very
latest in this technology.
Front-line caregivers struggle
now to meet the increasing demands of higher acuities, regulatory requirements and less staff.
Today there’s an abundance of
developments being rolled out to
the market that take a multi-faceted approach between the
medical equipment available and
the technology integrated into
the structure to enhance its function and performance. The holistic integration between the built environment and information
technology are also a key to help cash-strapped hospitals and
health care providers achieve better quality care, both through
the design of the physical space and through technological
advances in medical equipment. The Smart Hospital provides
coordinated, safe, and high quality care in an information-rich,

From a practical stand point,
Smart Hospitals are smaller
and more easily accessible than
most hospitals. They provide inpatient and outpatient medical,
surgical and diagnostic services.

electronic medical records, bar
coding and integrated vital signs
operational efficiency is significantly increased. The consumer

appointments and reminders that are automatically displayed
at the beginning of the day. From the consoles, patients can

a seamless flow between core clinical areas allowing caregivers to spend less time moving from place to place to do their
jobs. It’s easier for patients to navigate and there is reduced
documentation time for nurses, allowing them to spend more
time giving patient care. Affiliated physicians experience an efficient and clinically focused facility where they can practice
state-of-the art evidence-based medicine.

friends anywhere in the world and the physician could consult with outside specialists while conducting “rounds” directly
from a patient’s room. Attendees to this track will learn how
to develop and operate service-driven, high-quality, low-cost,
technologically-efficient hospitals that improve the quality of
healthcare for patients, and the environment in which healthcare services are provided allowing caregivers and technicians
to devote time and energy to do what they do best – caring
for patients.
