A Strategic Approach to Healthcare
Australian healthcare organisations face a myriad of challenges, from increasing costs and workforce shortages to heightened patient expectations and complex regulatory demands. While COVID-19 is no longer driving these challenges, it spotlighted longstanding issues, creating impetus for healthcare organisations to embrace technology-driven solutions to adapt service delivery models and improve patient outcomes.
However, effectively addressing these challenges requires a strategic approach that optimises operations, improves efficiency, and fosters enhanced connectivity, communication, and collaboration.
Recently, Connected Health in collaboration with Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise hosted a webinar exploring the impactful role of integrated technology solutions in enabling healthcare staff to be more productive and effective.

The Impact of Integrated Technology Solutions on Adapting Healthcare Delivery Models
In this webinar, Dirk Dumortier, director of healthcare partnership strategies at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise discusses the potential lying at the intersection of technology solutions and healthcare.
He exemplifies how combining integrated technology solutions from Connected Health vendors can harness the power of the digital-age workplace for cure and care and provide a strategic response to the current realities faced by Australian healthcare organisations.
In this webinar, we also discover how the integrated solutions, built on Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise’s foundation of connectivity and communication services, go beyond the conventional to incorporate location, collaboration, and notification services. The result is a safe, effective, and compliant digital technology solution that optimises service delivery both within and outside the hospital’s four walls.

According to Dirk, here are some key features that shape the future of healthcare:
- Connectivity and Communication: Ensures a robust foundation for a reliable and secure digital infrastructure.
- Location Services: Enhances precision and efficiency in patient care by integrating real-time location data.
- Collaboration Tools: Facilitates seamless communication and cooperation among healthcare professionals, enhancing overall efficiency.
- Notification Services: Enables immediate and informed responses to critical events, ensuring timely and effective care delivery.
Five Use Cases Where the Digital Workplace for Cure and Care Makes a Difference Include:
- Enhance Patient Support Beyond the Bedside
Robotic technology powered by retired or non-clinical nurses provides invaluable support to long-stay patients. This innovative approach not only improves the overall patient experience but also provides a solution to tap into the skills of a motivated mobile workforce in novel and impactful ways.
- Real-Time Patient Safety Monitoring
Ensure the safety of both patients and staff through continuous, real-time monitoring of high-risk patients. The system utilises 24/7 video stream analysis to detect signs of aggression, absconding, and loitering. With automated alerts and collaborative care connectivity, high-risk patients and their caregivers benefit from immediate, responsive de-escalation strategies.
- Staff Safety Empowerment
The push-button duress and location-tracking technology empower clinicians to seek assistance discreetly and efficiently. This streamlined approach ensures timely location and support to staff members in potentially challenging situations.
- Expedited Handover of Clinical Care
Access patient alerts, care activities, and collaborative discussions from the last 24 hours, reducing handover time and facilitating smoother transitions between care teams.
- Efficient Workforce Management
The real-time staff record system enhances organisational workflows by providing up-to-date information on staff presence, location, and availability. This optimisation ensures collaborative communication and coordinated care delivery, improving overall patient care delivery and organisational efficiency.
