Optimizing operations through digital modeling at

Mater Private Hospital, Ireland

Mater Private Hospital is a leading private hospital in Ireland. Their staff recognized a need for change in the radiology department by pursuing new efficiencies in care delivery. Their goal was to overcome rising waiting times, interruptions and delays that were impacting patient experience negatively. Therefore, Mater Private decided to redesign the layout and infrastructure of the radiology department. Siemens Healthineers enabled them to deliver more value for patients using a Digital Twin for Workflow Simulation.

“It was amazing watching our 2D plans transform into 3D and then 4D reality. Thanks to the Digital Twin of our institution, we now have the best possible configuration for our department.”
