Requirements

Develop a telemedicine solution to offer a state-of-the-art audio-video communication system and to ensure the necessary support for the continuous improvement of the medical act quality.

Solution

Datanet Systems has created an original telemedicine solution based on voice and data infrastructure and mobile equipment supplied by Vodafone and developed on Cisco’s telepresence and video surveillance technologies and
equipment.

Results

The solution has increased the efficiency degree of the activity of medical staff from the Newborn Intensive Care Unit by:
– the supply of advanced communication capabilities,
– simplification of routine operations,
– prevention of incidents,
and opened the path to new further improvements.

Vision

The Solution

The need for this solution appeared as a result of multiple critical situations which the doctors from the Newborn Intensive Care Unit have to deal with. On one hand, it is about their need of having advanced means of communication which allow them fast consultation in conditions of guaranteed quality of transmission – of specialized physicians who either are not in the hospital or in the country, in a specific case. The case should be presented to interlocutors with live images of the patient, monitoring data transmitted in real time and specific medical documents. On the other hand, there was the need of a system able to assure the permanent video surveillance of patients and the monitoring of medical staff activity.

“The technical telemedicine solution implemented in the “M.S. Curie” Clinical Emergency Hospital for Children was designed and developed by Datanet Systems based upon specific requirements of the Newborn Intensive Care Unit. Thanks to the competences of our specialists and their expertise gained from other completed projects, we’ve managed to efficiently translate the requirements of the medical team into an unique technological solution customized to the special needs of this field.”

Project benefits

The telemedicine solution implemented by Datanet Systems and Vodafone in Newborn Intensive Care Unit from the “M.S. Curie” Clinical Emergency Hospital for Children has three main categories of beneficiaries. The main beneficiaries are the patients who, due to the solution, have an extra chance to life. ““The main gain offered by the implemented solution consists of increasing the efficiency and proactivity of the medical act and the avoidance of errors. We made a series of major decisions in the ward based on the information provided by the solution and the final objective was the decrease of mortality and morbidity, dr. Cătălin Cîrstoveanu declares.

A second category of beneficiaries is the medical staff from the Newborn Intensive Care Unit whose activity was optimized by offering advanced communication options, simplification of routine operations (exchange of information at handover of the call, the remote performance of visits etc.), investigation of incidents and their prevention.

This project has been a special opportunity to use the Datanet experience of IT systems integrator and its creative spirit to fulfill a set of specific requirements. The project implementation in the specific environment of Clinical Emergency Hospital was a challenge we have successfully overcome.
