Technology in a
healthcare setting is becoming paramount as time prevails.
Whilst some hospitals are still relying on ageing communication
methods, most are coming to terms with the fact that technology can
dramatically increase work flows in their facilities and are actively
seeking more information.
One avenue for this
information is the Australian Healthcare Week which was held at the
Australian Technology Park in Sydney this week. This event consisted
of 3 separate conferences:
- Healthcare Efficiency through Technology
- Health Facilities Design & Development
- Retrofitting Healthcare Facilities
Myself and three
colleagues attended this conference, bumping into familiar faces
from Southern Health, Barwon Health and WA Country Health Service to
name a few. Case studies were presented regarding the New Bendigo
Hospital Project and a representative from Ramsay Healthcare took us
through the benefits of digitizing hospital processes.

Delegates came from all
over Australia and from conversations held over the 3-day event, none
were left disappointed. With an air of enthusiasm, delegates listened
as exhibitors demonstrated the applications of their technology in a
hospital setting.

Integrated Wireless
(IW) attracted welcomed attention for those interested in mobile duress,
wide-area duress and WiFi tracking devices. The most intrigue
surrounded IW's ability to converge location-based duress, paging and
voice in the one handset as well as receiving nursecall/fire
panel/access control alerts. Members of our sales team will be out at
a number of facilities next week giving a live demonstration on how
our products can best be used in specific hospital arenas.
