How can Value Partnerships impact healthcare delivery? Gain insights into their transformative effects through this case study on the Mater Private Hospital. Learn about various challenges encountered by the healthcare provider in Ireland and find out how a partnership with Siemens Healthineers helped them overcome these hurdles.
Mater Private Hospital is a leading private hospital in Ireland. Management recognized a need for change in the radiology department by pursuing new efficiencies in care delivery. Their goal was to overcome rising waiting times, interruptions and delays that were impacting patient experience negatively.
Therefore, Mater Private decided to redesign the layout and infrastructure of the radiology department. Siemens Healthineers enabled them to deliver more value for patients using a Digital Twin for Workflow Simulation. Redesigning the patient changing facilities creates a more pleasant environment and shorter waiting time. In addition, optimized maneuvering areas improve the ability of healthcare workers to care for bedridden and wheelchair patients.
Main results
- Shorter wait times for patients: A reduction of 13 minutes for CT scans and 25 minutes for MRI.1
- Lower staffing costs, incl. 50 minutes less MRI overtime pay per day, representing up to €9,500 annual savings.1
- Increased equipment utilization – MRI usage went up by 32 percent and CT usage went up by 26 percent.1
