The Trust needed a variety of mobile point-of-care workstations to bring this technology into a wide range of care areas, especially as staff were adopting more electronic processes and workstreams. As members of the Confidentiality Advisory Group, SETRUST was well-versed in best practices for this project and knew that multiple styles of mobile carts, including ones that supported dual monitors, would be important for viewing detailed patient data and imagery within the new EPR system.

Working with Hospital Services Limited, a highly engaged and customer-focused reseller, SETRUST looked to Ergotron’s broad portfolio and selected the StyleView Laptop Cart and StyleView Cart with LCD Pivot. As former Ergotron customers, they knew about Ergotron’s reputation for quality and ability to meet unique needs across sites and departments.

SETRUST implemented the versatile carts across all clinical areas at multiple locations, including the emergency department, theatres, medical and surgical wards, higher dependency units and intensive care units.

The dual screens facilitate quick and easy access to all the relevant clinical information I need on a ward round,” said Chief Clinical Information Officer David Wilson about the SV Dual Monitor Kit accessory on the carts. “The mobile workstations are reliable and have excellent battery life, allowing me to focus on the patient rather than the technology. Overall, they have improved the quality of my daily ward rounds since their introduction.”

Other SETRUST sites appreciate the ability to accommodate an all-in-one computer. When several people need to view the same information at once, a large monitor on a mobile cart is critical. Many locations also use Ergotron monitor arms for comfortable typing and screensharing with patients in clinics and exam rooms.

Together, these professional-grade workstations are helping facilitate a new era of digital healthcare across the organisation.

“As we move forward with the implementation of enterprise EPR at SETRUST, the already high level of embedded technology that users know and operate with confidence, such as the dual screen medical carts, will give us a significant advantage in this ambitious programme of work,” said Sean Dooher, the Encompass programme manager.

Context

Ramsay Health Care UK (Ramsay), a leading provider of private healthcare services in the UK, enlisted the expertise of HSL to spearhead a comprehensive tech refresh initiative spanning 34 of their healthcare sites. This upgrade was part of the company wide PACs/RIS upgrade programme. With a commitment to delivering exceptional patient care and operational efficiency, Ramsay recognized the importance of modernizing their technological infrastructure. The collaboration with HSL aimed to upgrade and streamline Clinical and Surgical Displays including carts. This ambitious project not only sought to enhance the overall patient experience but also aimed to empower healthcare professionals with top quality tools to deliver superior care.

Challenge

Prior to embarking on the tech refresh project with HSL, Ramsay had a mixed estate comprising varied displays and theatre carts across the 34 sites. Maintaining legacy infrastructure proved to be increasingly costly and time-consuming, diverting resources away from strategic initiatives and impeding innovation. Recognizing the imperative to streamline operations and enhance system reliability, Ramsay initiated the transition towards a centralized estate in collaboration with HSL, aiming to unify their IT infrastructure, and lay a robust foundation for future growth and digital transformation.

Solution

The solution provided by HSL to address Ramsay’s tech refresh needs comprised the deployment of 388 Eizo Clinical Review displays strategically placed within outpatients, nursing stations, and consulting rooms. Additionally, 84 Eizo Surgical Displays were integrated onto Ergotron Style View Powered carts, meticulously customized to meet Ramsay’s specific requirements. This comprehensive setup ensured optimized visualization and efficient workflow management across various clinical settings, empowering healthcare professionals with state-of-the-art tools to deliver superior patient care while enhancing operational efficiency and flexibility.

Results

Following the implementation of the tech refresh solution provided by HSL, Ramsay witnessed transformative results across their healthcare facilities. With 388 Eizo Clinical Review displays seamlessly integrated into outpatient areas, nursing stations, and consulting rooms, clinicians experienced heightened efficiency and accuracy in patient care delivery. The deployment of 84 Eizo Surgical Displays on Ergotron Style View Powered carts, tailored to Ramsay’s specifications, facilitated enhanced mobility and flexibility in surgical environments, optimizing workflow and patient outcomes. Overall, the centralized estate approach championed by HSL not only modernized Ramsay’s IT infrastructure but also fostered a culture of innovation and excellence.

“The successful rollout of medical carts throughout our departments is a shining example of the power of effective communication and pain-free smooth implementation. The team at HSL provided us with clear communication and seamless execution during the full rollout. We look forward to the benefits it will bring to staff and patients in our hospitals. This partnership with HSL has empowered Ramsay to elevate the standard of care while driving operational excellence, positioning the organization at the forefront of healthcare technology innovation.” Andrew Heath – Operations Manager  – Diagnostic Systems Ramsay Health Care UK.
