Why healthcare professionals choose Alviscan
“Each year, our colleagues at the Anesthesiology outpatient clinic see around 17,000 patients. About 80% of them can use the Alviscan, saving approximately 5 minutes per patient. That adds up to over 1,100 hours of time saved.” Inge de Leeuw, Manager Anesthesiology Outpatient Clinic, Erasmus MC (NL)
“Blood pressure readings are more reliable and often lower; as a result, we need to repeat measurements or refer to the triage department less frequently. This reduces patient anxiety and eases the workload for our triage and emergency departments.” Nanneke Mollink, Medical Technology Advisor, Jeroen Bosch Hospital (NL)
“This hospital is much more modern. They even have a machine where you can measure your blood pressure. Very good” Patient at the gynecology outpatient clinic, HagaZiekenhuis (NL)
“The cost is equivalent to 0.22 FTE, while it frees up 0.5 FTE. This freed-up capacity is used for other tasks, which also helps reduce workload in other departments.” Leendert-jan Doornbos, Innovation coach Haga Hospital (NL)
“This innovation, part of the ‘Outpatient Clinic of the Future’ initiative, reduces the workload for outpatient clinics, promotes patient self-reliance, and provides greater insight into one’s own health.” Project Group ‘Outpatient Clinic of the Future’, Elisabeth-TweeSteden Hospital (NL)
“Triage can be accelerated because we can immediately see when certain measurements are abnormal.” Christa Gennisse, Emergency Medical Care Provider / Nursing Information Officer, St. Antonius Hospital (NL)
“Many patients enjoy measuring themselves. At the same time, it saves the nursing staff three minutes per patient. With 50 patients a day, that’s a welcome side effect—especially in times of a growing shortage of qualified staff.” Angelika Flügge, Director of Nursing, Ostseeklinik Damp (DE)
“The self-measurement kiosk is a great innovation that allows patients to do something themselves, saving us as healthcare professionals valuable time.”
