The collaboration between Care and Comfort and the Charleroi Hospital goes further

After having tested our solutions in three medical units, the Charleroi Hospital decided to equip all of its private rooms with our solutions.

Furthermore, rebuilding its maternity, this hospital implemented 7 re-enabling rooms (which our bedside terminal is part of).

Innovative in many ways: The rooms offer modern technologies and facilities that have not been seen yet in the healthcare sector. Furthermore, it is the financial model we proposed to the hospital that makes this project so unique : a leasing system relieving the Hospital of investments that are not related to its core activity.

As a true European Innovative Hospital model, the Charleroi Hospital won the 2014 Digital Patient Award in October at an event gathering more than 250 healthcare executives from all over Europe.

Within the project of a new Hospital (Viviers) (2020-2022), the Charleroi Hospital has already been thinking of the innovations it will choose to implement there.

Since 2011, via a partnership with Lille hospital, Clubster Santé, (a network of health-sector businesses based in the North of France) have been pooling their expertise to develop the patient room of the future: the ‘’Concept Room’’

The room, which has been successfully rolled out at a number of hospitals in France and Belgium, features a 3-in-1 hospital bed (sofa-bed – stretcher – operating table) designed for same-day surgery and a range of digital communicating equipment for remotely monitoring the patient’s vital signs. Ten of the member companies of Clubster Santé recently grouped together to form a joint-stock company called Clinifit which will develop and market the innovative hospital room concept, as well as developing an all-inclusive leasing model for it, to ensure optimal profitability.

Une tablette tactile au cœur de la chambre du futur

Une tablette tactile au cœur de la chambre du futur pour réinventer la chambre d’hôpital afin d’améliorer le confort du patient et faciliter sa prise en charge par le personnel soignant. C’est un défi à la fois médical, industriel et technologique qu’a relevé le troisième CHU de France, accompagné par le groupement d’entreprises locales Clubster Santé. Résultat : une « concept room » innovante, pleinement fonctionnelle, au cœur de laquelle un système intelligent fondé sur Windows Embedded remplace avantageusement la TV et le téléphone en offrant une multitude de services au patient comme aux soignants (…)

The patient room of the future

The ‘Concept Room’, a prototype for an innovative ambulatory surgery centre designed by Clubster Santé and Lille university hospital, offers a glimpse into the future of patient care. This project, which was presented at the last ‘Health and autonomy’ expo and sponsored by Econocom, won an HIT innovation trophy in 2013.

In 2009, a team of American designers developed a prototype called Patient Room 2020, which combines state-of-the-art architecture with cutting-edge technology, featuring sensors, monitors and touch screens to manage medical data and enable patients to keep in touch with the outside world […]

Having unveiled the hospital room of the future in 2012, Lille’s University Hospital Center (CHRU) and Clubster Santé, a Lille Region health industry network, are now designing tomorrow’s outpatient surgery center. Their goal: create an optimal outpatient structure that promotes patient wellbeing and simplifies the work of care providers.

NEW FOCUS ON OUTPATIENT SURGERY

Today’s hospitals are trending sharply towards outpatient treatment: in the US and UK, 80% of surgical treatment is performed on an outpatient basis, and France aims to raise its proportion of outpatient procedures from 36% today to 50% by 2016. That’s why CHRU and Clubster Santé have moved on to phase two of the Concept Room project, inspired by the automobile industry’s concept cars. Building on Concept Room Opus 1, a futuristic hospital room unveiled in 2012, Concept Room Opus 2 showcases tomorrow’s outpatient surgery center, designed around the core principles of progress and patient autonomy.

According to the World Health Organization, France has the top-rated healthcare system in the world. Part of this can be attributed to our belief that all citizens should have access to quality medical care, but also the government’s commitment to fostering innovation and economic development in the healthcare system via agencies such asEurasante.

Two companies pushing the innovation envelope in the area of patient care are Groupe Scotler and Econocom. They joined forces to address the need to provide doctors and nurses with easy access to patient medical information, as well as improve the comfort of patients during their hospital stay. Scotler brought its expertise building customized software and hardware solutions; Econocom contributed its years of working as a system integrator and solution provider. The result is Care and Comfort.
