New hospital

Hills Health Solutions has announced the ‘go-live’ of its nurse call and patient engagement solutions at the new Northern Beaches Hospital, which opens today in French’s Forest, NSW.

It will accommodate 488 beds and aims to provide patient-centred, personalised care using state of the art technology systems. Hills installed its flagship IP7100 nurse call and Lincor MediaLINC patient engagement solutions at the hospital.

Hills chief executive and managing director David Lenz said that the ability to provide a customised solution that is scalable, future proof and able to plug into any standard network differentiated Hills from the competition.

“Ownership and continued development of the nurse call intellectual property here in Australia is a key factor in the success of the product,” said David.

In partnership with Lincor, the largest global provider of patient engagement services and software, Hills installed the MediaLINC platform as the patient engagement system at the Northern Beaches Hospital.

It will provide patients with access to TV and movies, a third-party meal ordering system, and educational information through their in-room television.

Hills is the exclusive distributor of Lincor solutions in Australia.

“We are pleased to supply solutions that will support the Northern Beaches Hospital to provide improved patient care and clinical outcomes,” said Hill Health Solutions head Andy Hall.

“We look forward to building upon Hills current leadership position as a trusted supplier for nurse call and patient engagement solutions.”
