The healthcare industry is constantly evolving, always looking to improve patient care and streamline operations. In the digital age, tools promoting digitalization have become invaluable assets for healthcare establishments. What if WiFi could also be used as a tool in its own right to go further in the digitalization of healthcare establishments?
Large-scale digitalization for Connected Health
Digitalization in the health field is already well underway, notably with the transition to electronic medical records (EMR), telemedicine, process automation, etc.
Each new digital process is another key element in the evolution of healthcare bringing multiple benefits at the same time. For exemple :
- Electronic Medical Records (EMR): They allow instant access to patients’ medical histories, improving the accuracy of diagnoses and reducing medical errors.
- Telemedicine: it allows health establishments to offer remote medical consultations, thus improving access to care, particularly for remote patients or for emergencies.
- Process Automation: The digitalization of administrative and logistical processes reduces costs, errors and the time needed to provide care.
Wifi in healthcare establishments already widely deployed
Wifi is no longer considered a luxury in healthcare establishments today. An essential element of digitalization and the proper functioning of an establishment, even if only for sending emails, it is today deployed in the majority of establishments, if not all. It has become a necessity to improve quality of care, operational efficiency and overall patient experience.
Here’s how :
- Patient Connectivity: Patients need connectivity to stay in touch with family, access entertainment, or even follow their treatment online. Quality WiFi provides that essential connectivity, helping to improve patient morale and comfort.
- Healthcare Mobility: Healthcare professionals are increasingly using connected medical devices and applications to track patients and access medical information in real time. A robust WiFi network ensures that these devices work properly, helping to make more informed medical decisions.
- Optimization of operations: Wifi facilitates internal communication between medical staff, doctors and support services. This improves care coordination and allows problems to be resolved more quickly.
It is therefore no longer necessary to demonstrate the importance of a good Wi-Fi infrastructure and a stable, fluid and efficient network in the field of health.
