An intelligent technology infrastructure should be designed with several goals in mind, according to an article on the Hospital Build & Infrastructure magazine.
Those goals include:
• Providing maximum system uptime, high levels of resilience, and intelligence distribution
• Improving energy efficiency by closely monitoring and controlling energy sources
• Improving patient and staff safety through integrated video surveillance, access control systems, and protection systems
• Improve patient comfort through lighting and environmental controls, as well as nurse call services in patient rooms
Implementing a hospital intelligent technology infrastructure is one of several efficiency programs leading a new wave of conservation measures, the article said. Infrastructure intelligence is a largely untapped resource for meeting healthcare goals.
