Healthcare Solutions

Innovations in Healthcare and IT technologies prepare care providers to deliver a revolutionary connected digital experience to their staff and patients. Digital transformation enables ubiquitous access to quality care for all, simplifying day-to-day operations through connectivity.

ALE provides the healthcare solutions and tools that deliver critically important services that help optimise the patient care pathway. Simplified, efficient and secure communications allow clinicians to better collaborate and spend more time with the people who matter most – their patients. The result is better outcomes for patients, staff and communities.

We enable digital age care providers to:

• Offer patients a better healing experience from welcome to discharge
• Redefine care delivery and simplify daily workflows of clinical staff
• Provide secure and reliable connectivity for patients, clinicians and devices
• Ensure efficiency, safety and privacy of people, data, assets and facilities
• Enhance the care staff workplace to improve senior living

Improve patient care with digital health technology

Caregivers are under more pressure than ever to perform their jobs. Instead of being at the mercy of technology, caregivers need digital health technologies to help them do their job. Having the right solutions means more time caring for their patients, delivering quality care and taking care of themselves.

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE) has designed digital healthcare solutions that support nurses’ meaningful work with mobile technology, while alleviating their pain points.

Bringing digital health technologies to the point of care

Because each hospital setting is different, critical nurse pain points and digital transformation journeys are unique. ALE offers a set of best practices combined with consultancy services to guide you in creating digital healthcare solutions that works for you.

Our digital healthcare is based around open and compliant solutions that integrate with your existing systems, such as nurse call, EHR/HIS, patient terminals, and room control. And that's where the value is: communication, collaboration, notification and location-based services become available within nurses’ mobile apps, in the ward and at the patient's bedside.
 

How can digital health improve care?

Clinical staff, especially nurses, work in an environment that is high stress by nature. The following work-related pain points can directly impact their health and the quality of patient care:

• Walking time: average of 1 to 1.5h per shift
• Searching time: average of 1h per shift just for assets without the time to reach a person
• Alarm fatigue: created by an increased number of notifications while 70-90% of alarms are false or non-relevant
• Insecurity: average of 20% reported physical assaults

To relieve nurses from overwork and mitigate the risk of burnout (sometimes between 20 to 30% burn out rate), hospitals must create efficiencies. Digital health technologies can help reduce the burden on nurses and improve patient care.
