Patient-Centric Healthcare

Changing demographics and the trend to chronic disease management is driving the need for patient centric healthcare in the hospital and the community. In the hospital, wireless technologies will be found everywhere tracking people, assets, and patient flow. Wifi tags will capture patient flow data in a 100% wireless infrastructure allowing business & clinical decisions on diagnosis to be made in real-time. Multiple healthcare information technologies will be integrated. Clinicians will have access to vital signs and alarm history events as the patient is transferred between hospital departments, enabling them to make confident decisions at any stage. Remote Patient Monitoring and Body Sensor Networks will allow to manage patients in the community.
