CASE STUDY
WITH THE WELLBEING OF OUR PATIENTS ULTIMATELY DEPENDENT ON OUR NETWORK AND DIGITAL SERVICES , THIS TRANSLATES TO BETTER CARE AND OUTCOMES .
Dr Hashem explained that : “ Today , we still have over 400 patients per day who receive remote consultancy . This is not only more convenient , but it has also enhanced appointment efficiency by 120 % as we have been able to manage scheduling and staff utilisation in a far more effective manner .”
The hospital ’ s IT team is looking to continue to use Aruba ’ s solutions in further innovative projects . It is currently assessing Aruba ’ s Meridian mobile engagement platform to facilitate wayfinding and location-based services around the hospital to enhance patient experience while also preventing overcrowding in corridors and other common areas .
It is also testing an asset management system based on Aruba Asset Tags , to enable better inventory management and prevent equipment like oxygen tanks and wheelchairs from going missing .
“ Because it works silently in the background , the network isn ’ t something staff and patients think about unless something goes wrong . The platform has given us the confidence to deliver innovation , at scale and at an accelerated pace ,” said Dr Hashem .
“ With the wellbeing of our patients ultimately dependent on our network and digital services , this translates to better care and outcomes .” p
