• What makes a Smart Hospital Smart?
  • A smart hospital is “smart” because it blends together various technologies like cloud computing, mobile communications, and other technology-enabled interactive interfaces in order to streamline hospital operations on both back-end processes and front-end services. Essentially, it’s incorporating state-of-the-art technology to make the hospital run smoother, faster, and more efficiently, for medical professionals and patients alike.
• How will smart hospitals improve patient-centricity?
  • Smart hospitals provide patients with the option to directly interact with their medical needs through a digital interface. Centered around informing patients, an all-inclusive smart hospital system done well can review patient concerns and provide them with the best healthcare service experience possible. It also allows patients to communicate efficiently with medical staff, alerting them of any discomfort or treatment questions they may have during an in-patient stay or a consultation.
• How will healthcare providers and facility managers benefit from smart hospitals?
  • Streamlining hospital medical and operational data into one, the data-based system provides hospital staff with the ability to optimize their workflow and organization and communicate with one another more effectively and efficiently through hospital floors and halls. There are numerous benefits from incorporating smart technology into any workplace, but in one as fast-paced and high-pressured as a hospital, it could truly make a difference. In addition to aiding in day-to-day operations and creating a simpler patient experience, the smart hospital can also provide medical researchers with valuable patient data for new breakthroughs in the medical field.
