communicate with each other and offer a unified user interface for operations and management are
gaining ground—and are becoming more attractive economically as well.
The intelligent use of state-of-the-art technologies and their holistic integration is an effective
approach for the healthcare industry to meet growing demands. Without integrated building
automation systems that combine all building technology infrastructure applications into one
solution so they are able to interact, it is impossible to meet all these requirements. In short,
integrated intelligent infrastructure solutions improve operations, reduce complexity and costs, and
make it possible to significantly boost efficiency, security and sustainability.
Installing and maintaining such solutions requires extensive expertise as well as a broad range of
products, systems and services. As one of the world’s largest healthcare suppliers, Siemens offers
a modular program for the healthcare industry. From building technology to imaging systems, from
therapy equipment to IT and telecommunication solutions, Siemens’ comprehensive portfolio helps
customers meet their business and environmental goals.
Best care possible
Intelligent management of all applications associated with the building technology infrastructure is
the most effective way to meet all comfort, security and efficiency requirements in hospitals and
care facilities. The integration and central control of the building technology infrastructure are
essential to this approach. Standardized interfaces are used to control laboratory and biomedical
systems and to monitor information and communication systems. This interoperability between
building automation, danger management, biomedical engineering, and information and
communication technology allows hospitals to provide the best patient care possible while keeping
costs to acceptable levels and maximizing security and reliability.
The following examples demonstrate how integrated solutions from Siemens ensure patient and
staff comfort and security in hospitals and care facilities and provide for streamlined operations and
improved energy efficiency.
HiMed hospital room solution: Modern hospital rooms give patients maximum independence and
easy communication while reducing the workload of caregivers and doctors. The Siemens HiMed
Cockpit is an easy-to-use touchpanel terminal attached to the hospital bed that integrates room
controls (lighting, temperature, windows, blinds) and communication features such as phone and
email. Patients can also choose from a variety of entertainment options such as TV, video,
Internet, radio or games. In addition, the terminal provides access to patient records which doctors
and caregivers can retrieve using their ID. Since the patient terminals are connected to the hospital
