3 Benefits of Smart Hospitals

A smart hospital relies on data-based information, including machine learning and artificial intelligence models, to facilitate decision-making.

3 Benefits of a smart hospital

1. Healthcare providers

Smart hospital data can be used to help healthcare institutions optimize their limited resources, increasing operational efficiency for a better patient-centered approach.

Sensors can monitor patients when they are alone in the room.

AI algorithms can help determine which patients to prioritize based on the severity of their cases. Telehealth solutions can help provide care to patients outside of hospital visits.

2. Clinicians

Smart hospital tools can allow physicians, nurses, medical imaging technicians, and other healthcare experts to spend more time caring for patients through routine or laborious tasks.

Such as writing notes about each patient interaction, segmenting anatomical structures into MRIs, or converting physician notes into medical codes for insurance billing.

They can also facilitate clinical decision-making through AI algorithms that provide a second opinion or triage recommendation for individual patients based on historical data.

3. Patients 

Smart hospital technology can bring health services closer together, with the ability to have all experts around the world.

By deploying AI and robotics to monitor patterns and automate repetitive tasks, smart hospitals can allow clinicians to focus on interacting with their patients for a better experience.

Operating a smart hospital, however, requires a whole ecosystem of solutions aligned with clinician workflows to accelerate and improve patient care.
