Lovisenberg Diaconal Hospital achieves significant efficiency improvements and traceability for surgical equipment
Established in 1894, Lovisenberg Diaconal Hospital is publicly financed, but operates as a non-profit facility by two trusts.
Body
Lovisenberg Diaconal Hospital in Norway needed to streamline its processes associated with the handling of surgical equipment.
Highly trained surgical staff was spending valuable time on manual tasks like sorting, packaging and the replenishment of equipment used in surgical procedures.
Staff in the Surgical and Sterile department collaborated with GS1 Norway and APX Systems to develop and implement a traceability solution based on GS1 standards. The system has automated the department’s surgical, ordering, replenishment and recall processes for impressive improvements.
