REDHILL, England - Wednesday, September 7th 2011 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hospedia and JAOtech today announced that they have completed the renewal of the bedside terminal estate in fourteen UK NHS hospitals installing a total of over 6,500 terminals so far.
The new JAOtech units form the front end for the new Hospedia T3 system which offers a wide variety of TV channels, video on demand, email & internet, radio and unlimited free outbound calls – all accessed via a range of short and long stay bundle packages. These systems can also be configured to deliver Trust applications and services, making use of the powerful PC functionality now installed at the bedside.
The first fourteen hospitals to benefit from the upgrade program are Addenbrookes Hospital, Epsom General Hospital, Royal Oldham Hospital, Whiston Hospital, Eastbourne Hospital, Chesterfield Hospital, Broomfield Hospital, Carlisle Infirmary, Castle Hill Hospital, Salisbury Hospital, Bournemouth General Hospital, Good Hope Hospital, St Helier Hospital and Hope Hospital, Salford Royal. Additional sites soon to be upgraded are Solihull, Heartlands, Southampton, Royal Devon & Exeter and Manchester Royal Infirmary, which will take the total well over 11,000.
Leading the way amongst these sites are Broomfield, Addenbrookes, Heart of England Trust and Southampton who have all begun to pilot Hospedia’s Clinical Access service, where Trust applications will be accessed by nursing and clinical staff at the bedside – improving efficiency. Recently, UK Health Minister Simon Burns MP visited Broomfield Hospital and was quoted as saying, “Broomfield Hospital have recognised the potential Hospedia's innovative systems have in saving money that can be ploughed back into patient care, making the NHS more affordable in the longer term... it's a model that other Trusts should look to.”
