At Arab Health<\/a>, Royal Philips<\/a> (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today highlighted the growing role of a networked \u2018command center\u2019 approach to healthcare delivery in the region. Together with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Ministry of Health (MOH), the company recently implemented<\/a> the country\u2019s first nationwide virtual cardiology network (TAJI), connecting specialists across eight hospitals with the goal of improving patient care. In addition, Philips is partnering with Mouwasat Hospital Group to implement its first eICU platform in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The solution will provide advanced critical care for patients, independent of their hospital location.<\/p>\n

As care delivery becomes more complex, finding ways to coordinate patient care across the health continuum, from healthy living and prevention, to diagnosis, treatment and home care, is one of the most important challenges facing hospitals and health systems. They therefore need to look at new, more efficient ways to increase access to care and improve care collaboration. A command center approach is emerging as an innovative way of transforming healthcare by generating real-time, actionable analytics and pro-active recommendations to manage operational performance and guide each patient\u2019s progression based on their clinical condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Arab Health we\u2019re highlighting how we partner with healthcare providers across the region to provide flexible and scalable AI-powered solutions as they seek to step up their performance by simultaneously improving the patient experience, health outcomes, and staff experience, while lowering the cost of care,\u201d said Ozlem Fidanci, CEO Middle East and Turkey, Philips. \u201cPhilips is uniquely positioned to integrate and analyze clinical and operational data both inside and outside the hospital, applying AI and generating real-time, actionable analytics and proactive recommendations.\u201d<\/p>\n

First nationwide virtual cardiology network in Saudi Arabia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cardiology is one of the most complex areas of the hospital enterprise, with large quantities of data generated by various caregivers across multiple locations along the care pathway. The TAJI project is a virtual cardiology network that provides a complete overview of Saudi Arabia MOH\u2019s cardiac patients across the Kingdom, integrating previously disparate systems to reduce data entry, simplify access to test results generated in other departments, and make it easier to acquire, analyze and share patient data.<\/p>\n

Bringing Philips\u2019 advanced tele-ICU solution to the region<\/strong><\/p>\n

Philips eICU is a scalable, centralized tele-ICU solution combining Audio\/Visual technology, predictive analytics, data visualization and advanced reporting to extend critical care resources to the bedside via technology, regardless of location. The solution is being deployed across the Mouwasat\u2019s critical care network in Saudi Arabia in collaboration with the country\u2019s telecom providers. Through a centralized continuous model of clinical surveillance, advanced clinical decision support analytics enable providers to identify clinically meaningful results to intervene proactively at the earliest indication of patient deterioration. Data is communicated to caregivers at the bedside to develop and implement the best course of treatment.<\/p>\n

At Arab Health 2020, Philips is also highlighting the Makkah \u2018Heart Safe City\u2019 project<\/strong><\/a>, in which Philips is collaborating with the Saudi Arabia MOH to provide a unique end-to-end solution combining education programs to increase awareness of CPR, the use of publicly-available AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) and new technologies to strengthen the \u2018chain of survival\u2019 from the moment an incident occurs to the patient reaching the hospital.<\/p>\n

Developing intelligent solutions for healthcare providers<\/strong><\/p>\n

AI-based solutions<\/a> have great potential to improve patient outcomes and the efficiency of care delivery, but such solutions must be based on a thorough understanding of the clinical needs and developed in close collaboration with the care providers who will use them. Philips\u2019 vision is to use a combination of AI and other technologies with knowledge of the clinical and operational context in which they are used. With this people-centered approach, Philips\u2019 goal is to develop integrated solutions that adapt to the needs of healthcare providers and that are embedded into their workflows.<\/p>\n

Demonstrating how Philips can support healthcare providers at achieve the quadruple aim, at Arab Health the company is showcasing:<\/p>\n
