ASST Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda

The Company

The ASST Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda is a significant hub of social and healthcare expertise for regional care, hosting all clinical and surgical specialties for adults and children, and serving as a reference center for Milan – where it is located -, for the Lombardy Region, and for Italy.

Opened in 1939, it has evolved over time and, particularly in the last decade, has undergone a complex structural and organizational transformation in which multidisciplinarity, technology, and integration have been the key elements of its change.

The Features

Niguarda Hospital is equipped with 40 operating rooms, 350 outpatient clinics, over 70 departments, and 1,167 beds. It is capable of managing highly complex conditions thanks to its expertise in emergency and trauma care, with ultra-specialized activities and a multidisciplinary approach.

 

The Solution

TapMyLife has provided  a solution for detecting automatically of logistical times for surgical patients, not only within the complete operating block flow (filter, operating rooms, preoperating/recovery room) but also during the exit and return phases to the ward.

The system, based on wired antennas and a wearable bracelet for the patient, can be integrated with major surgical clinical record software and allows for:

  • To provide a measurement tool that helps the optimization process by identifying opportunities and critical issues in the processes;
  • To offer a solution for managing logistical operations integrated with real processes and automated communication systems.
