What is a Digital Hospital?

What is a Digital Hospital?

With the widespread use of information technologies in health, the concept of Digital Hospital came to life.

The concept of a Digital Hospital can be briefly explained as a hospital where information technologies are used to benefit employees and patients. However, information technologies are not a sufficient criterion for a hospital to be described as a digital hospital.

The digital hospital has a wide range from a hospital where information technologies are used at a minimum level in administrative, financial and medical processes to a hospital. All kinds of communication tools and medical devices are integrated and with other information systems. Healthcare professionals and patients can exchange data inside or outside the hospital with telemedicine and mobile medicine applications.

We can count the elements of digital hospitals as Hospital Automation Systems, Imaging Systems, PACS Systems, Telemedicine systems, Drug Management systems and Material Management systems.

With rapid access to all kinds of information about patients (such as radiological images, daily medical measurements, laboratory results) thanks to digital systems, the work processes of healthcare personnel will be accelerated. In addition, medical errors can be prevented by instant access to the record of patient data.

The benefits of hospitals adopting the Digital Hospital concept can be listed as follows;

• Since physicians and nurses in digital hospitals can access information about their patients without time and place restrictions; The waiting and hospitalization times will be minimized, and the time allocated to the patient will increase.

• Medical and administrative errors will be minimized thanks to the easy accessibility of information and registration to digital systems.

• Thanks to digital systems, stationery costs will decrease to a minimum. In addition, since the radiological images will be given over digital media, the environment will also be protected.

• By enabling reliable keeping, storage and reporting of electronic health records in digital hospitals, the treatment processes of the patients are followed as a whole. This application will accelerate diagnosis and patient procedures and increase accuracy and quality in evaluations.

• In digital hospitals, if the patient is allergic to any drug, the system gives a warning when this drug is requested and prevents the wrong medicine from being given to the patient.

• Managers in digital hospitals will be able to monitor and evaluate performance more easily and quickly. Thus, effective and efficient use of financial resources will be ensured.

• Exact inventory management, data mining and statistical data analysis will be provided.

Although the transition to the digital hospital concept may seem like a costly investment, selecting the proper devices and digitalization partners provides hospitals with various savings from installing the necessary systems. In addition, it offers many successes such as fast access to patient information from anywhere, data security, carrying out all services in a digital environment, reaching minimum error rates, reducing costs, increasing patient and employee satisfaction, success in diagnosis and treatment, and increasing the preferability of the hospital.
