The seven solutions in the Ascom Healthcare Platform are open, interoperable and vendor-neutral. Because hospitals come in all shapes and sizes, so do our solutions - they are scalable from specialist clinics to multi-site hospitals. All the solutions are backed by licensing and service agreements that are both transparent and predictable.
Vendor-neutral, interoperable with existing and planned medical devices and communication systems.
Clinicians get context-rich, near-real-time data that is needed to make better care decisions.
Fast, targeted and informed responses by the right people at the right time can have a significant positive impact on patient satisfaction and recovery.
Filtered alerting and messaging helps improve productivity and staff morale. Calmer environments can also enhance staff satisfaction.
Our solutions adapt to meet changing needs. They are scalable from an on-site system for a single department/ward, through to a multi-site hospital.
From initial planning with Ascom Clinical Consultants through to installation, solution lifecycle support and training.
Crucially, the technology development work was done by clinicians instead of to clinicians. It meant we had genuine engagement with nurses and other stakeholders as we carefully planned the hospital from the start – taking in the views of estates, IT, domestic staff, porters, admin, allied health and medical staff
