Analyst Review
Smart hospitals are those that exhibit redesigned and optimized new processes, management systems, and infrastructure. They provide a valuable service to achieve better patient care, experience, and operational efficiency.
Smart hospitals create perfect conditions for a fast recovery and efficient work by offering various solutions across different hospital rooms. For instance, in an operating theater, different types of equipment and devices are available, and are interconnected with each other. This helps store the patient data, which could be used as a reference in the future or for other medical purposes. In addition, smart hospitals offer flexibility and transparency for cost-effective and reliable business operations. Hospitals are open 24 hours a day. Thus, making hospitals the second-largest energy consumer in the commercial sector. Therefore, efficient energy management is the key to ensure a reliable power supply, reducing energy costs and minimizing environmental impacts. This makes energy consumption and room usage in the building transparent.
In most of the developing economies, application of the concept is still a challenge as very few hospitals have the financial resources to implement all the smart solutions necessary to become a smart hospital. However, owing to the rise in investments in healthcare sector, it is expected to create lucrative opportunities in the market.
