Health Care

Welcome to the Multimedia Hospital

Today's hospitals are extremely modern medical facilities with modern operating theatres and powerful diagnostic tools.

However, these technological advances still co-exist with centuries-old communications technology.

Traditionally, it was not considered important to modernise this part of the hospital since it was not directly related to patient health. However, it is becoming evident that digitalising and modernising hospitals can have a significant impact on the hospital's ultimate objective: the health and wellbeing of its patients.

If we think about some of the most crucial objectives of any hospital we will find recurring themes such as reducing waiting lists, eliminating or at least minimising medical errors, bringing medicine to rural areas, etc.

The question is: how can improving a hospital's communication infrastructure help to achieve those objectives? The answer is very simple and some of the most important hospitals in our country have found the answer and are now implementing it.

If the hospital has a good network infrastructure and multimedia terminals and applications, the information will be available at all times and in all places, allowing decisions to be made in real time, wherever the patients are.

The medical professional's job is to cure patients, not to get lost in bureaucracy and tedious paperwork. Applications such as voice recognition, for example, or the deployment of covergent networks, make it possible to simplify the physician's administrative procedures and reduce the time spent by medical professionals on writing, managing and filing clinical reports.

There is a trend in the health care sector at this time to prioritise specific functionalities, particularly image, referrals and patient visits where the need for integration is becoming increasingly important.

In addition, recurring themes such as reducing waiting lists, eliminating or at least minimising medical errors, bringing medical to rural areas, patient orientation, etc., continue to be important objectives for all hospitals.

SATEC can propose technically viable solutions that provide a clear value to the health care organisation. We embarked upon this journey some time ago with some of our clients of reference and this year we want to continue to grow in this area with new clients and even more innovative projects. Some of the areas in which we have experience include:
