Hospitals are critical buildings \u2013 we all know that. Losing power in this type of facility is extremely dangerous and can quickly become fatal to many. Hospital power control<\/a> and efficiency is heavily relied on from the emergency room to the executive suite. It is essential to maintain high performance and patient satisfaction which can be done through EcoStruxure\"\u2122\" for Healthcare<\/a>. EcoStruxure<\/a> is Schneider Electric\u2019s open, interoperable, IoT-enabled system architecture and platform that delivers enhanced value around safety, reliability, efficiency, sustainability, and connectivity for our customers. Designed to deliver improved safety, patients\u2019 satisfaction, and operational efficiency, EcoStruxure for Healthcare is the IoT-enabled hospital solution architecture for digital hospitals.<\/p>\n

From existing building to a fully connected, state-of-the-art IoT-enabled hospital<\/h4>\n

In Novokuznetsk, Siberia, Russian Federation, EcoStruxure for Healthcare made a huge difference to a building that was transformed into an IoT-enabled hospital, Grand Medica.\u00a0The Grand Medica went from an existing building to a multi-profile medical center treating up to 160,000 patients per year.\u00a0With ten operating rooms, a laboratory, and more, the facility needed a highly efficient and reliable solution to enable them to provide top quality care to perform procedures such as cardiovascular surgery, oncology, laparoscopic operations, among others. How did they do it? With the help of a Schneider Electric certified EcoXpert\"\u2122\"<\/a> partner.\"Grand<\/p>\n

Partnering to provide high performance and patient care<\/h4>\n

Muli-badge certified EcoXpert, Comfort Laboratory, worked with Grand Medica for 20 months, from the design phase to implementation, to complete the buildings\u2019 transformation into an efficient, IoT-enabled hospital. Certified in both building management systems<\/a> and light and room control, Comfort Laboratory implemented Building Information Modeling (BIM) beginning at the design stage. BIM helped inform and streamline all aspects of the project providing objective information about capital construction costs as well as future operational costs.<\/p>\n

Participating throughout all stages of the project life cycle, Comfort Laboratory successfully integrated the EcoStruxure for Healthcare solution into the new Grand Medica facility. This great success created many benefits for the IoT-enabled hospital.<\/p>\n

The hospital staff sees the benefit of the new system in the way it improves the level of care. With its EcoStruxure for Healthcare solutions in place, Grand Medica realized:<\/p>\n
