Digital Hospital demo

The Digital Hospital Infrastructure (DHI) is a framework of products, solutions and services,  which enables the construction of a Digital Hospital. DHI lays the foundation for a health service environment that offers a better quality of care, improvements in patient safety, and greater productivity for healthcare professionals.
DHI is based around a single IP connectivity and integration platform that connects different hospital systems together and meets the availability, security and reliability requirements of clinical applications.

In a Digital Hospital, the following critical technologies are integrated to work together, freeing staff to focus on delivering better care:

• Cisco Medical Grade Network Design
• High-availability computing platforms
• HP StorageWorks Medical Archive Solution
• IMATIS Integration Platform
• Data-acquisition technologies
• Messaging and alerts
• Location-based services and asset tracking
