1 The Digital Hospital A better experience for patients, practitioners and healthcare IT A Nokia ebook

2 The digital hospital 1 What do patients want? Better access to all their health information. In a digital hospital, care delivery is revolutionized using state-of-the-art technology to create seamless, integrated communication between patients, practitioners and the hospital IT systems. 2 What do practitioners want? Technology that improves their overall workflow, letting them do more for patients. 3 What does IT want? A more adaptable and flexible infrastructure.

3 In the digital hospital patients receive better care and can easily access their personal health information. Doctors see more patients with better outcomes. IT departments improve efficiency with new services while cutting costs. PRACTITIONER BENEFITS PATIENT BENEFITS See more patients Remotely consult with specialists Complete access to patient info Easy access to personal health info Better interactions with providers Remote monitoring for wellness H IT BENEFITS Handle massive volumes of data No more silos More adaptable and flexible infrastructure with virtualization

5 What do patients want? Patients want easy access to their health information and more ways to access care. Complete personal health information they can take with them to specialists. Video conferencing with doctors, nurses and other practitioners. More emphasis on maintaining wellness. How can hospitals meet patient needs? Mobile applications and services require a complete, end-to-end digital infrastructure that connects all information systems seamlessly, with the bandwidth and storage to share and retain ultra-high resolution diagnostic images, extensive real-time electronic health records, medication records and more. At the same time, these systems need to comply fully with security requirements and privacy laws and regulations.

7 What do practitioners want? The capability to deliver better care to more patients with better outcomes Integrated patient information at the point of care Accelerated and streamlined workflows that would create more time to see patients Real-time remote consultation with specialists through telemedicine How can hospitals meet practitioner needs? For doctors and nurses to have fast, anywhere access to patient information, hospital networks need the speed and capacity to handle huge volumes of data from multiple sources. They also have to support the rapid rollout of applications for streamlining and automating services and operations. Administrators have their own priorities seeking to improve care while helping patients focus on preventing illness.

9 What does IT want? IT departments need the ability to respond to emerging requirements rapidly, develop and roll out new services and keep costs down. Private cloud-based platforms and software-defined networking (SDN) that knock down silos so information can be shared wherever it s needed. Data center interconnect (DCI) solutions that securely handle massive data volumes and enable big data analytics. A DevOps approach that automates software delivery, quickly rolling out new apps and services to meet patient and practitioner demand. How can IT get what it needs? A private cloud architecture is essential for hospitals to gain flexibility while meeting their legal and policy-related requirements for security and privacy. At the same time, a private cloud makes it easier to combine disparate patient information systems and deploy IP communications platforms that integrate communications and collaboration functions into every application and service. With SDN, IT can automate network configuration in a policy-based way so configurations and privileges match security and operational requirements across the entire infrastructure. SDN lets IT choose technologies regardless of vendor and to seamlessly connect remote locations without expensive proprietary hardware with agile, DCI technology linking all the organization s data centers together.
