Reference Case: Standardized medical equipment
The Marienhausklinik St. Josef Kohlhof in Neunkirchen (Germany) has implemented a trendsetting concept: The clinic uses system solutions by Dräger - from the central gas supply to the standardized device equipment in the interdisciplinary intensive care unit.
Dr. Ernst Konrad, Chief Physician for anesthesiology and intensive medicine: "Our standardized equipment helps to ease the work of our staff and gives them a higher degree of satisfaction". The scalable equipment platform from Dräger within the interdisciplinary intensive care units allows equal use of all treatment groups. The advantages:
Flexible use of space
Fewer devices are required
Reduces efforts for training
Quicker instruction period for substitutes
Cost savings, also in terms of maintenance and consumables
Thomas Gärtner: Commercial Director of the clinic: "Dräger has not only taken the desires of the physicians into consideration, they have also focused on the aspects of patient safety, staff and quality.The quality aspect in particular was very important to the clinics within the Marienhaus GmbH, since they compete in an active field. It was important to realize a high degree of technical innovations in order to distinguish ourselves from the competition."
Stefanie Conrad, Director the Nursing Staff notices a plus in security and trust and is happy about streamlined workflows in the institution. The nurses can use their time more efficiently, which the patients notice in the intensive care they receive. The uniform monitoring stays with the patients during their entire stay, from the central patient admission to intensive care. There is no need for frequent new cabeling; the patients are connected to a single monitor for their entire stay in the hospital.
