In Linz they focus on digital transformation
On February 7, 2024, “Die Presse” reported on the rising demand for healthcare professionals in Austria. The article estimates that approximately 200,000 additional skilled workers will be necessary by the year 2050 to sustain the country’s health system.
Like every other healthcare institution in the nation, Ordensklinikum Linz Barmherzige Schwestern is affected by this significant challenge. To ensure the delivery of high-quality patient care in the future, the hospital is now actively embracing innovation.
Under the leadership of Georgine Gattermayr, MBA, Director of Nursing and Board Member Patient Management, Ordensklinikum Linz Barmherzige Schwestern acknowledges digital transformation as a crucial step to position nursing as an attractive work environment and enhance efficiency in patient care.
A key project in the clinic’s digital transformation journey involves the integration of QUMEA in the “Acute Geriatrics and Remobilization” ward, under the supervision of Mrs. Rouha Martina. QUMEA, a digital tool, supports healthcare professionals in ensuring a secure environment for patients. The application informs nursing staff in real-time about rooms requiring assistance, allowing for effective prioritization during demanding workdays.
Georgine Gattermayr emphasizes the importance of digital tools like QUMEA and underscores the significance of the system’s complete anonymity. This feature fosters trust in the nursing staff and ensures that no unwanted surveillance takes place.
Ordensklinikum Linz Barmherzige Schwestern will continue to advocate for high-quality and future-oriented patient care through the adoption of innovative technologies and a progressive approach to nursing.
