How the World's Third Largest Hospital has improved healthcare quality through IoT Passed

Tuesday May 17, 2022 15:30 - 16:00 A5

Lecturer: Akın Altunbaş

Ankara City Hospital - the World's third-largest hospital in the world- with 3704 bed capacity was opened in 2019 as part of the Public-Private Partnership projects. In such a massive healthcare complex, it was not possible to manage labor-intensive asset operations and operating room processes with conventional methods. The main goal was to maximize the efficiency of 143,000 assets and increase operating room utilization.


Therefore, the hospital adopted Asset Inventory Management, Asset Safety, and Patient Throughput Management products.


"We would not be able to manage our operations efficiently in this 3,704 bed capacity hospital without the operational awareness we are getting from IoT products." ( Dr. Aziz Ahmet Surel, Coordinator Chief Medical Officer, Ankara City Hospital)



Key results:

  • Increase in efficiency of more than 160,000 assets 
  • 6X increase in asset counting speed 
  • 94% reductions in time waste for searching a mobile asset in the hospital. 
  • Monitor roughly 20,000 OR processes
  • Accurately forecast operation durations 
  • Reduce patient waiting times, improve patient satisfaction 

Awards:

  • Intelligent Health Association - IoT Solutions to Transform Healthcare: 2020 Winner (USA)
  • RFID Journal - Best healthcare RFID / IoT Implementation: 2020 Runner Up (USA)

Details of the products, installation processes and other results will be explained.

There will also be video demonstration during the lecture.
