The Intelligent Hospital ™ pavilion at HIMSS 2012The mission of the “Intelligent Hospital ™” is to educate clinicians, other healthcare professionals and the broader life sciences community on facilitating increased patient safety, improved clinical work flow and better access and real time dissemination of information to the point of care, using "Real-Time" demonstrations of integrated solutions using auto-ID, RFID, RTLS, mobile devices, Sensor and Wireless technologies in a patient care environment. The educational demonstrations at the HIMSS 2012, “Intelligent Hospital ™” PAVILION will deliver a number of compelling use cases across collaborating vendors that will highlight how multiple technologies can seamlessly, interoperate with state of the art, medical equipment and co-exist to improve the overall patient care environment. This Pavilion is all about delivering an educational message to the end user community and raising the level of awareness of the healthcare, nursing home and assisted living industries about the use of these technologies and their many applications. With the growing use of RFID and RTLS technologies in healthcare it became apparent to The RFID in Healthcare Consortium that it needed to bring all of these technologies together under one Pavilion for mutual benefit at HIMSS 2012. To help raise the level of awareness of these technologies to the healthcare industry the RFID in Healthcare Consortium is collaborating with HIMSS to integrate selected RFID & RTLS vendors into this new Pavilion. Unlike other Pavilions at HIMSS, this Pavilion is “By Invitation Only” and is focused on delivering a Unified educational message from its sponsors to end users. Corporate sponsors should use this Pavilion to get healthcare professionals interested in their technology/solution and thereby raising their interest level. Then have these interested professionals come and visit your larger Booth at HIMSS. The Pavilion will bring together not only RFID and RTLS technology firms and their many use cases but also new and complementary technologies such as NFC, bar coding, software, sensors, and wireless technology firms all at ONE easy, accessible location. Situated adjacent to the large, well trafficked HIMSS Interoperability Pavilion, attending healthcare professionals and clinicians will see a number of options and scenarios. In addition, this Pavilion will serve as home for those technology firms who will be attending HIMSS for the first time and many new start up firms showing their technology for the first time in our “Innovation Corner”.  Pavilion size
The Pavilion for 2012 will be OVER 10,000 SQUARE FEET and be adjacent to the very popular HIMSS Interoperability Pavilion that draws large crowds. Kiosks This Pavilion will be comprised of approximately 30 to 36 kiosks of different shapes and sizes and they will all come with a computer monitor, broadband, hardwired, Internet connection, AC, two chairs and brochure racks. Naturally, the higher the level of sponsorship the larger the Kiosk. These Kiosks will be manned by corporate technology sponsors to meet with interested parties. Intelligent Hospital The highlight of this Pavilion will be a series of FIVE connecting hospital rooms that will include the following:
Visitors will be able to take tours of this “Intelligent Hospital ™”conducted by our volunteer staff of Clinician / Tour guides. They will be able to see and hear a detailed explanation of the varioustechnologies and processes within this area. The Clinician / Tour guides will be demonstrating different passive RFID and RTLS use cases andshowing the ability to capture patient data in a REAL time environment, with the aid of hand held mobile devices and thentransmitting this data onto the hospital EMR and delivering it toclinicians’ iPads, iPhones, and Blackberries in a real time mannerthus helping to improve the quality of care and safety of patients. Technology theater A speaking theater within the Pavilion where the premier level corporate sponsors will deliver 20 minute educational programs on their products and services to attendees. Preview theater An area adjacent to the “Intelligent Hospital” area where visitors who would like to take a tour of the FOUR different hospital rooms will be given a briefing on what they will see and hear once they enter the demo rooms. While in this Preview area, visitors will be provided with a printed booklet outlining all of the technology and equipment to be found in the “Intelligent Hospital” and the corporate sponsors who are making this “Intelligent Hospital” possible. Information desk The Pavilion will be furnished with aninformation booth to direct Pavilion visitors to the various areas of thePavilion and to distribute the Pavilion Booklet. Pavilion educational handbook A printed as well as a digital version of The RFID & RTLS Pavilion booklet will be published and distributed to Pavilion visitors at no charge, containing educational information on these technologies along with corporate information on all qualified corporate sponsors who have paid to be in the booklet according to their level of sponsorship. |
