GE Healthcare has been tapped to build a centralized healthcare "command center" at the Bradford Royal Infirmary, an NHS teaching hospital in the U.K., to direct patient care delivery and allocate resources. The first of its kind in Europe, the center will use artificial intelligence and real-time information and analytics to help anticipate bottlenecks across the 800-bed hospital and recommend actions--streaming data to a wall of screens monitored by up to 20 Bradford staff, as well as to tablets and mobile devices across the building. The project aims to cut waiting times and reduce pressure on staff by reducing the unnecessary time spent in a hospital after a patient is fit to leave, as well as increase the total number of patients treated. In addition, it hopes to increase the number of patients who arrive and are admitted, transferred or discharged from the emergency department within four hours. Bradford's emergency department sees about 125,000 patients each year--up by more than 40% over the past decade, with about 350 to 400 patients a day--and with 96% of the hospital's bed capacity being used on a regular basis.
