PPDS has announced that its range of Android-powered 10in touch displays have been selected and installed inside one of Germany’s leading hospitals to provide new levels of communication between staff, boosting patient safety and hospital efficiency.
Based in Cologne, the recently expanded Krankenhaus der Augustinerinnen hospital, which sees on average over 13,000 in-patients and 28,000 outpatients on a yearly basis, turned to PPDS and wizAI solutions GmbH to create and deploy a custom intelligent system that displays interactive hospital floor plans, cleaning schedules, hygiene requirements and room availabilities.
A total of 14 PPDS solutions have been rolled out across the site, allowing the 750-plus staff to make status updates for each treatment room in an instant.
A custom, easy-to-use remote management console links each of the screens with the hospital’s existing computers and tablets, to create an optimised cleaning process that allows for faster patient intake with a lower cost of operation, while enhancing patient safety.
“The effective use of resources and optimal utilisation of rooms is essential for the best possible care,” said Gunnar Schneider, managing director at Krankenhaus der Augustinerinnen. “Cleaning App supports us in this. Compliments to the wiz AI team, who exceeded our expectations with the system.”
Rainer Bloch, Business Director, DACH at PPDS, added: “Running on Android, our range of displays, whether 10in or 86in, provide not only premium quality and reliable hardware, but have the flexibility to compliment third party providers, ensuring customers have a solution that works around their needs. We’re delighted to have been part of such a transformative project, one which potentially benefits tens of thousands of people a year.”
