VIDEO: Building the Hospital of the Future
Alas, we couldn’t take the Connected Bus there, but our team did head to Orlando, Florida, this week for the annual HIMSS healthcare industry conference, where our vision for “Connected Health” was the subject of discussion. The journey to better health systems sometimes seems like it’s been a slow one, but a new healthcare CIO survey we helped launch at HIMSS suggests more connected health systems are finally coming our way.
In this video from the conference, Frances Dare, director of our healthcare group, and Matthew Holt, Health 2.0 guru, discuss how unified communications technologies are improving healthcare experiences for clinicians and patients.
We also hear about one of the best examples of a “hospital of the future” from Michael Covert, CEO of Palomar Pomerado Health. You might have read about the new Palomar West hospital that Cisco and PPH are building in San Diego, California, on Christian Renaud’s Virtual Worlds blog. My colleague Amber Allman was able to corner Michael at HIMSS and ask him exactly why building a hospital simulation was such an important part of PPH’s plans for its futuristic new medical campus.
