There’s more to bed management than administrative tasks. Völker provides fully automated solutions for supervising, planning and keeping records of your hospital beds. Use your time and resources for tasks that need your personal attention, while you let our reliable bed management system look after your beds.
The great challenges that hospitals face
The paper-based process of coordinating all departments and wards is still common in hospitals today. Compared to a digital approach, this method is significantly more complicated, time-consuming and costly. It is common knowledge that ‘paper-pushing’ paves the way for inefficient practices, a higher chance of mistakes and a heavier workload for hospital staff, especially due to the excessive amount of paperwork involved in keeping records. However, there’s also another key aspect. Nursing staff waste time searching for available medical devices on the wards, and the lack of records relating to the preparation of these devices could put hospitals in difficult legal positions.
Our partners
Smart tools free up more time for your core activity.
To enable reliable, efficient collaboration between nursing staff, medical technologists, cleaning staff and managers, Völker relies on the use of the IoT application HPM® from Clinaris. This enables hospitals to locate their medical devices using modern tracking technology and manage, supervise and keep records of the cleaning processes of this equipment.
The smart digitalisation solution HPM® records the process of preparing medical devices and hospital rooms for use in real time and displays the exact location of expensive medical devices, along with their cleaning status and technical condition.
