Automated Building Systems
| Statistics show that an increasing
number of hospital inpatients sustain
harm from events such as infections,
medical errors, wrong-site surgeries,
and falls. Many of the behaviors
preceding these events are undetected
by the human eye and therefore are
unanticipated. Thankfully, this can be
changed. Intelligent and automated building solutions that alert staff to errors before patients are harmed can make patient hazards within hospitals visible, similar to how the human autonomic nervous system (ANS) keeps us healthy by monitoring body systems 24x7, alerting the conscious mind only when action is needed. This visibility enables hospitals to enhance clinical outcomes, improve patient care and safety, shorten inpatient stays, decrease readmissions, and reduce expenditure. |
Case studies worldwide point to
the clinical benefit from automated
solutions. Four hospitals, including
two in Hong Kong, were part of the
WHO's pilot hand hygiene compliance
study. Results showed hand hygiene
compliance improved from 15.5% to
65% after 18 months of visual and
automated monitoring.
