Incorporating Innovative, High-Quality Healthcare Technology: An Essential Challenge for Spain’s National Health System

November 18, 2024 tedisel

Do companies in the Healthcare Technology sector have an innovative DNA? Yes, without a doubt. This ability to continuously advance poses a challenge for Spain’s National Health System (SNS). To address this challenge, the Spanish Federation of Healthcare Technology Companies, Fenin, has introduced various solutions to facilitate rapid access to the latest technological innovations for patients and healthcare professionals.

“Technology and medical products play a decisive role in patient care. Our industry offers new solutions for patients’ clinical needs and the healthcare system’s challenges. It is essential to ensure access to these technologies so healthcare professionals can improve diagnoses and treatments. It’s impossible to build a future-focused healthcare system using outdated technology,” explained Pablo Crespo, Fenin’s Secretary-General, during a seminar.

To promote the adoption of “high-quality” healthcare technology within the SNS, Fenin proposes several measures. These include implementing public procurement models based on value to maintain care quality, restructuring care processes to enhance system efficiency, and fostering a culture of investment planning to prevent technological obsolescence in hospitals and health centers.

Quality, not just price, should be the determining factor in public healthcare technology procurement contracts. “Fenin works with health administrations to establish new procurement models where at least 50% of award criteria are linked to the value provided by the product or service. Only quality technology ensures precise diagnoses and safer treatments, ultimately improving health outcomes and SNS efficiency,” added Fenin’s Secretary-General.

“Fenin proposes harnessing the full potential of quality healthcare technologies and ensuring equitable access for healthcare professionals and patients.”

Hospital Duran i Reynals

Indexation of Public Contracts and Medical Products

Regarding public contracts and medical products included in pharmaceutical services, Fenin suggests that these contracts be indexed—allowing for price adjustments throughout their duration based on prevailing conditions—to ensure Spain remains competitive in providing patients with the best healthcare technology. Thus, Fenin proposes indexing to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), as previously allowed under the Public Sector Contracts Law until 2015.

Also tied to innovation within the SNS, the seminar addressed the renewal of the technology infrastructure in national hospitals. Despite the recent success of the INVEAT Plan—which facilitated the replacement and expansion of nearly 850 high-tech devices nationwide—Spain still shows “worrying levels of obsolescence in certain technology segments that did not benefit from the INVEAT Plan, exceeding the maximum recommended ‘useful’ life threshold (between 10 and 12 years) set by international organizations,” Fenin emphasized.

In this regard, Fenin calls for a national investment strategy to meet the so-called “Golden Rules” or “60-30-10” guidelines: 60% of equipment should be less than five years old, 30% between five and ten years, and no more than 10% over ten years old (considered obsolete). The ultimate goal should be zero obsolescence.

Clínica Mi NovAliança

Legislative Changes

Some of these initiatives require legislative changes. For example, reforming the Law on Guarantees and Rational Use of Medicines and Medical Products is necessary. This legislation—despite its name—is currently structured with the pharmaceutical sector in mind, rather than the Healthcare Technology sector.

“It has been 18 years since the catalog of medical products has been updated, and technological innovation in medical products dispensed with a prescription in pharmacies has been limited. This results in Spanish patients receiving products that are already discontinued in many European countries. It’s encouraging that the Ministry of Health is considering this legislative reform, but it must result in a regulation distinct from that governing medicines, given the technical and intrinsic differences in our sector,” concluded Pablo Crespo.

Humanizing hospital rooms: merging medical care and architectural design

September 10, 2024 tedisel

Hospital humanization focuses on designing spaces that prioritize the patient, creating environments that facilitate faster recovery by providing safety, rest, and care.

When a patient is admitted for a medium to long period, the hospital room temporarily becomes their home. Therefore, the design of these rooms must go beyond functionality and traditional design, embracing also the humanization of the space.

Importance of the Environment in Patient Recovery

There is a direct relationship between patient recovery and the surrounding environment. In recent years, there have been numerous changes and improvements in healthcare architecture, with an increasing focus on a more human and approachable architecture, moving away from the overly medicalized environment. This trend is also reflected in the choice of medical equipment that adapts to this new humanized architecture.

“At Tedisel Medical, we are committed to developing, innovating, and manufacturing hospital equipment to improve staff efficiency and provide quality patient care.”

Humanization of Hospital Spaces

The humanization of hospital spaces goes beyond providing a pleasant environment for patients; it also involves creating an optimal environment for medical and support staff. It is crucial to design considering the needs of all the people interacting in the hospital environment.

For example, the Hospital del Mar has initiated a significant architectural transformation process to adapt to the demands for greater comfort and functionality for patients and healthcare professionals.

This project focuses on the new hospitalization areas, where priority has been given to the inclusion of natural light, controlled lighting systems and specially designed furniture to enhance the experience of all involved. In addition, advances have been introduced such as electronic tablets placed next to each bed, which will not only function as work tools for medical staff, but also as sources of entertainment and education for patients, even offering health advice. Lockers with keypad access have also been installed to ensure the safety and comfort of patients during their stay. This comprehensive approach seeks not only to optimize medical care, but also to enhance well-being and quality of life in the hospital environment.

The hospitalization areas have been designed with wide spaces and corridors, and the nursing checkpoint has been located at strategic points to facilitate communication with patients. A highlight has been the emphasis on the humanization of the spaces, with the collaboration of artist Perico Pastor, a Hospital del Mar user. Pastor has embellished the bathrooms in all the rooms with a dozen of his original works. In his own words:

“Art is to share and to accompany. So, imagine going to a hospital and, when you feel down and enter the bathroom, you find a painting, a work of art!”

Importance of Materials and Design in Hospital Humanization

Careful choice of materials can have a significant impact on the transformation of hospital spaces, adding warmth and comfort. Using natural materials such as wood to clad medical equipment can generate a more welcoming atmosphere, providing patients and families with a sense of familiarity and tranquility in the hospital environment. A prime example of this philosophy is evident in our projects, such as the Lusíadas Porto Hospital, where our AIS headboard adapts to specific needs, always offering the best solution for patients.

Hospital Lusíadas Porto

The choice of furniture also plays a crucial role in this perception. Selecting the right medical equipment, which not only fulfills its technical function but also significantly enhances the ambiance of the room, contributes to a more human and less institutional atmosphere.

At Tedisel Medical, we are committed to integrating medical devices into the design of hospital equipment with our bed head units. We design and equip equipment with wall covering options, which helps reduce the feeling of being in a hospital environment and creates a more welcoming and less clinical environment.

Our products stand out for their adaptability in terms of lighting. We recognize that indirect light can create a relaxed atmosphere, while focused lighting is essential for medical procedures. For this reason, we at Tedisel strive to offer a wide variety of lighting options, ranging from direct to indirect and night lighting.

More private spaces and recovery-enhancing spaces

Designing more private and recovery-focused spaces is an increasingly relevant trend in the hospital setting. Creating environments where patients can feel sheltered from noise and hustle and bustle is crucial to their well-being. Examples such as the therapeutic gardens in the new extension of the Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre illustrate this evolution towards a more serene and comforting environment. These open spaces and the integration of green areas not only promote physical recovery, but also contribute to humanizing the hospital environment, providing a haven for calm and healing.

“Functionality and optimization in all hospital areas are paramount elements that should not be neglected in the humanization process.”

The rooms must be well designed, with an optimal arrangement of hospital equipment and an appropriate selection of materials to facilitate the work of healthcare personnel. Involving staff in the design from the outset is crucial to ensure an efficient working environment. It is vital to ensure sufficient space around beds for staff and equipment, as well as accessible toilets and adequate space for wheelchair use and assistance. In addition, the integration of new technologies in hospitals can boost efficiency and improve the patient recovery process by implementing humanization projects such as those that many hospitals, such as the Vall d’Hebron Hospital Campus, are progressively implementing. Mobile applications can promote patient participation and improve direct communication between patients and healthcare staff, thus optimizing workflow and medical care.

Healthcare Equipment Design, Cleaning and Disinfection: Making the Operating Room Safe and Secure

June 10, 2024 tedisel

Studies reveal that surgical site infections (SSIs) account for approximately 20% of all hospital-acquired infections, highlighting the urgent need to prevent and control these incidences in operating rooms to ensure patient safety.

“Cleaning and disinfection of the surgical area emerge as fundamental pillars to ensure the safe operation of medical facilities. However, classifying spaces within a hospital environment becomes especially relevant in surgical areas, where cross-contamination between areas with different activities and cleaning needs could considerably increase the risk of infections.”

The segmentation of spaces in these areas not only seeks to prevent cross-contamination, but also indirectly contributes to reducing the risk of infections. Within the surgical environment, it is crucial to differentiate various spaces, among them:

Access and reception area.
Resuscitation area.
Dressing room and office area.
Surgical preparation area.
Material/instrument cleaning and material storage area.
Operating rooms (including ambulatory surgery operating rooms).

This segmentation not only optimizes the organization and functioning of the surgical area, but also strengthens the preventive measures against infections, thus ensuring a safer environment for patients and medical staff.

Sources of infection in operating rooms

Most Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) occur during the surgical procedure, when the patient’s wounds are still open. The main sources of infection can derive from:

Surgical team members and their attire.
The environmental conditions of the operating room, including the air quality.
The equipment used during the procedure.

Implementing strict protocols can make a big difference in reducing the incidence of SSIs. Every medical setting should have a robust set of infection control protocols, and every member of the surgical staff must be fully familiar with these procedures.

Environmental measures in the operating room for infection control

The operating room should be kept aseptic, highly sterile and with restricted access. To prevent and control infections in these environments, the following measures can be implemented:

It is crucial to maintain the operating room between 20-24°C and a relative humidity of 40-60% to prevent bacterial growth.
Walls should have a smooth surface to ensure easy and effective cleaning.
Separate doors for entrance and exit. Sliding doors can minimize drafts when entering and leaving the room.
Professionals should follow strict hygiene standards, wear hospital pajamas, cover head and feet, wear masks, wash hands and wear gloves. Operating room staff should be kept to a minimum and movements should be reduced.

HERMES: solution for operating rooms that facilitates the management and control of crucial measures, such as temperature and humidity monitoring

The distribution of space in the operating room should be carefully designed according to cleanliness levels, the presence of microorganisms and the types of procedures performed. Specific areas should be designated for preparation and disposal, washing and dressing, as well as storage, sterilization, assembly and washing of materials and equipment.

These measures not only promote a safer surgical environment, but also enhance the effectiveness of medical procedures by reducing the risk of healthcare-associated infections. Meticulous attention to detail in OR planning and maintenance can have a significant impact on patient safety and well-being.

Optimizing the Hospital Environment: A Compassionate Approach to Patient and Medical Staff Care

December 19, 2023 tedisel

“We believe in environments that not only heal but also comfort and protect.”

Innovation in Hospital and Ward Design

Hospital design goes far beyond simple aesthetics. Hospital architecture has evolved by understanding the vital role that the environment plays in the recovery and well-being of patients.

It is therefore essential that the design of clinics and hospitals be innovative, creating spaces that not only ensure safety and comfort but also facilitate the work of healthcare professionals.

The impact of interior design in clinics and healthcare areas has undergone remarkable transformations in recent years. In the past, the focus of medical clinic design was primarily on functionality. While this remains crucial, equal importance is now given to generating well-being for users.

Recently, the design of hospital environments has been oriented toward eliminating the coldness and lack of personality associated with these places. Instead, priority is given to creating welcoming and friendly spaces that are at the same time safe and functional.

Optimizing Spaces with Warmth and Efficiency

At Tedisel Medical, we provide innovative solutions such as the Antea and Ais models to create inviting environments that enrich empathetic rooms. We strive to support both medical professionals and patients by:

Promoting patient autonomy.
Preserving privacy and enhancing facility security.
Fostering social interaction and emotional support.
Offering greater comfort and ergonomics for an enhanced hospital experience.
Creating a sense of individual rooms tailored to each patient.
Making patients feel exceptional, cared for, and valued.

With our focus on well-being and efficiency, we transform confined spaces into environments that foster healing and comfort. In our continuous pursuit of hospital excellence, we advocate for hospitals that are warm, well-lit, and inviting. Empathetic rooms are just one aspect of our strategy to achieve the hospital ideal, contributing to the concept of Hospital 4.0.

Critical Material Selection in Hospital Environments: Durability, Safety, and Aesthetics

When it comes to hospital interior design, the choice of materials is crucial. They must be robust and able to withstand the wear and tear and intensive cleaning required in this environment. In addition, they must meet strict safety standards and be easy to clean to maintain optimum levels of hygiene. All our products have been rigorously tested to ensure the best results.

Nearly zero porosity and resistance to chemical agents are outstanding features of our materials. These properties, together with their repairability, neutral aesthetics and exceptional durability, make them ideal choices for the interior design of hospitals and healthcare facilities.

Ease of maintenance is also crucial, as this careful choice not only ensures longevity and safety, but also contributes to a more welcoming and aesthetically pleasing healthcare environment.

“We are committed to excellence in every detail to deliver hospital spaces that are not only functional and safe, but also aesthetically pleasing to patients and professionals alike.”

Designing Caring Environments

Our primary goal in hospital design is to create a space that is comfortable and secure for everyone. We not only focus on functionality and safety but also recognize the direct influence spaces have on the emotional well-being of patients and hospital staff.

At Tediselmedical, we are dedicated to creating and designing projects that promote this sense of well-being. We customize our products for each type of room, enhancing environments where every user feels cared for and protected.
