Digital transformation often looks better on paper than in practice. Even the most digitally advanced hospital ward can still be a data silo, unless it is fully integrated with operating systems. And if the hospital launches many digital systems that do not talk to each other, the result will be confusion rather than coordination – the opposite of most transformation goals.
The approach of the Dedalus command center is an action as a central brain of hospital surgery. It combines data from clinical, logistics and administrative systems in order to provide live administrators that can be accepted, allowing them to solve typical hospital pressure points and identify unexpected challenges before they can interfere and patient care.
One of the hospital that has experienced the difference in this approach is the Gregorio Marañón hospital in Madrid. CIO Raul Lopez says: “We have detected over 400 operations that could have been carried out as small outpatient operations. This means that we save costs related to staying and of course we improve the quality of patient care because they leave the hospital the day before.”
From fire to foresight
In a more fragmentary infrastructure of the hospital system, pressure points may explode without warning. The hospital constantly reacts to problems, and does not anticipate them and solve them proactively: emergency departments, beds on the ICU are brief, and staff gaps appear with a petite warning.
Femi Ladega, Global Digital Director in Dedalus, says: “For me, the command center is simply a quality improvement center for every healthcare system.”
Based on real-time information, he generates diagnostic observations and analyzes that emphasize risk factors or operational restrictions-and actions required to avoid them or limit their impact. This information in real time is then carried to the flows of clinical and operational work.
Predictive algorithms at the AI powered command center enable hospitals to analyze the patterns in real time so that they can see trouble-for example an escalate in the number of admissions or delayed release down and act before its significant influence. In addition to helping the hospital in transforming real -time insight into improved operational processes, the system provides performance benefits by deeper understanding of challenges, specific restrictions and hindering risk factors against it.
Conscious real -time decisions
These benefits of real -time information can also be experienced at the hospital ward level. In many facilities, the department can work from its own set of data. This fragmentation leads to repeated tasks, delayed reactions and sometimes contradictory decisions. The command center introduces a common operational image: a single dashboard reflecting the bed occupancy, patient status, staff levels and many others. Because everyone is leveled on the same data, it is easier to coordinate and adapt, especially at high pressure.
Surgical care is particularly susceptible to disconnected work flows. From preoperative planning to recovery, even slight communication failures can be challenges, the Command Center integrates a full surgical journey, helping teams to coordinate turnover, predict narrow get and manage an unexpected-no matter if this is an emergency matter that arrives at the last moment, or the recovery bed is suddenly available. This means that there should be fewer surprises, less stress and better patient results.
