Streamlining hospital and community care operations for better patient care
Italian healthcare systems, like many other worldwide, faces unsustainable pressures due to an ageing population, rising patient demands, and resource constraints. Our partnership with P4I aims to address these challenges by providing advanced digital solutions to unlock capacity by streamlining workflows and pathways, improve operational efficiency, and create more integrated, data-driven healthcare environments.
DNV Imatis brings its suite of digital healthcare solutions, including tools for digital patient pathways, bed and capacity management, internal communications, alarm and task management, management dashboards, which are already helping hospitals across Europe. By integrating these solutions with P4I’s proven expertise in digital transformation and service design, we can enhance operational efficiency, improve staff operational quality, and optimise resources —all while enabling healthcare providers to deliver better patient outcomes and manage more patients with same effort.
“Partnering with Partners4Innovation allows us to bring together our strengths in technology and advisory services to make a real difference in hospital operations. By combining digital tools with strategic insight, we’re equipping healthcare teams to handle growing challenges, streamline workflows and improve patient pathways.”
