ICT emergency concept: Kliniken Stockerau and Korneuburg well equipped

In an increasingly digitized world, it is essential that even in the case of technical breakdowns, critical medical care does not stall. Therefore, the Korneuburg-Stockerau and Hollabrunn clinics have developed a failure concept to remain capable of acting in an emergency. This new strategy ensures that operating processes can also be maintained if the IT systems fail, for example by an internet failure.

The information and communication technology team (ICT) of both clinic locations, led by Hubert Groiss, has developed a standardized procedure. Among other things, this concept stipulates that important information is provided in paper form. Groiss explains: "A cross-location failure concept should enable every area-from recording to discharge-to continue his activities without ICT infrastructure."

measures for patient care

A central element of this failure concept is to ensure that all documents required for patient care are available. This is particularly important in order to be able to ensure proper patient care in the "offline" mode. Those responsible have also taken precautions that after the systems are restored, all data can be followed up to close gaps in the register.

The need for such measures is underlined by constant digitization in the health sector. With this step, the clinics not only rely on safety, but also on efficient handling in crisis situations. In view of the non -foreseeable nature of technical problems, proactive action is essential. These innovations contribute to the fact that patient safety retains the top priority even in the event of unforeseen failures.

The steps developed and the associated measures are exemplary for dealing with challenges that can occur in modern medical technology. For more information on this important topic, interested parties can be found on the detailed reporting M.Noen.at access.
