e-Health
e-Health is the combined use of electronic communication and information technology in the health sector.
Quality (information, patient oriented…)
Efficiency (cost reduction, flexibility,…)
Safety(avoid high impact mistakes)

However, between 2008 and 2012 the situation is to evolve, with a major shift from Secondary Usage Systems to Clinical Information Systems (SUCIS). This suggests that eHealth systems are targeted more towards supporting the operational processes of healthcare professionals.
18/04/202316
eHealth services can play an important role for the current and current and future delivery challenges to be faced by healthcare services in Europe. They can provide responses to the socio-economic challenges faced by European healthcare systems in the near and long term. Industry is expected to continue to be involved in the development of these services, as eHealth represents a considerable market for European and international industry players. However, in order to tap into this potential, it is necessary for eHealth services to be devised in such a way as to respond directly to the specific operational needs of the healthcare delivery stakeholders towards whom they are targeted. Essentially, eHealth services have to create value for all stakeholders by devising appropriate supporting business models. Failing to do so will just create a situation where healthcare professionals and institutions would lose trust in these solutions and, as a consequence, refrain from exploiting the positive externalities brought about by these eHealth systems and solutions.

Introduction
Nurses are and will be missing.

Voice nursing
In a nursing program, voice technology was shown to reduce documentation time by 75%, improve communication, and improve point of care documenting. The researchers also felt that infection may be reduced because nurses who used this voice technology were not touching as many items that may contaminate the patient. Voice assisted care technology provides hands and eyes free accurate documentation for nursing staff while enabling easy verbal access to patient information, effective communication and real time task management.
18/04/202325
Concept
With voice nursing , the purpose is to use voice commands instead of existing paper based or handheld solution.Instead of printing tasks or showing them on a screen, they will be voiced to the caregiver.

Identification
Staff VerificationIndividual RFID tagsDifficult to duplicateEnsuring secure automatic clinician login, speeding process
Patient IDIndividual RFID tagsScanned without line off sightRequiring fewer physical touches, speeding process and reducing chances of nosocomial infections
Medication VerificationIndividually labeled medication doses correctly matched with physician order, caregiver and patient ID

Process
Using a headset and optionally a ring RFID/barcode scanner, the nurse will be assigned tasks through a voice commandThe nurse can interact with the system using voice

Asset tracking
How much valuable time and resources were wasted due to low visibility of equipment, patients and staff …. “they could spend hours looking for the equipment. The only way we could resolve the problem was to buy more equipment so that it was available on each floor, which increased our operational costs.”
18/04/202332
Why Asset Management?
Create accountability for asset being used in Hospitals
Location, maintenance history, availability
Perform an efficient « asset fleet » management
5-15% of hospital inventory is written off each year since it can no longer be located or more importantly servicedEnsure high level of availability and usage
Equipment moving from patient to patient without going through decontamination in between could become a significant issue
Asset management
Passive RFID tag on AssetCheap solution vs Active
« RFID gate » in the elevator area to disciminate services/floors
Limited cablingLimited investment
Regular identification of asset being used by staff using other ID technologies
RFID, Voice, datamatrix18/04/202334
The process
Staff must identify asset every time they use it (Voice & RFID)
Patient ID is knownDuration can be assessedRoom ID is know
… so we know about utilisation and last location and time of use … RFID preventing short-cuts and mis-use.
When asset are moving out of services / floor, RFID antennas at elevator will detect the movement and update « asset inventory » accordingly.
18/04/202335
Asset inventory
Every service/department as an inventory of asset
As soon as an asset is taking the elevators, inventory will be updated accordingly.If an asset shows up somewhere else (read by staff), inventory will be updatedWhen asset is brought for maintenance, inventory will be updated accordingly
18/04/202336
Reporting is key
An asset is not used (read) since 2 weeks
Check service where it has been used last
Broken, go to repairIf disappeared, it will be writen-off to a specific department, if it shows up back afterwards, write-off will be canceled and investigation will take place.Working, so this asset might be in excess
The utilisation of a type of asset is too low,… then asset might be in excess
18/04/202337
People tracking
Based on the same infrastructure as asset tracking, when alzheimer / elderly people is leaving the « service ».
The service manager is alertedThe service manager receives a message telling in which service/department/zone he has been seen last time
18/04/202339
RFID wristbands
Scanned without line off sight, there is no need to manipulate the patient to read the informationPlacing the tag on the foot would allow a better readingRequiring fewer physical touches, speeding process and reducing chances of nosocomial infections

Gates
Extra « gates » will be installed at
Entrance/exit of hospitalsIn critical zones
Some products could be tagged as well to get alerted when they enter a specific room.
