Designing a hospital around the people it serves

Helse Stavanger University Hospital, Norway

Populations around the world are aging. Providing quality care to this expanding population demands corresponding increases in efficiency throughout the care continuum. Another key factor to consider is the rise of consumerism in healthcare. Because patients are more likely than ever to seek alternatives for their healthcare needs, healthcare facilities should tend to nonclinical wishes and needs as well. Helse Stavanger identified Siemens Healthineers Value Partners for Healthcare Consulting as the right partner for this task because of its portfolio of Operational Performance services, which includes facilities planning and workflow optimization disciplines.

“We had the feeling that the proposed reduction of the radiology floor space would cause major operational problems. Siemens Healthineers provided us with the right arguments to enforce the required layout adjustments. We are well prepared for the future.”
