Honeywell ’ s Robert Robinson on healthcare digitalisation

Robert Robinson is the Vice President and General Manager for Honeywell Solutions at Honeywell , which is looking for ways to help companies from the perspective of digitisation .
“ How do we enable companies to do some of these things automatically ? How do we enable companies to do some of these things remotely ?” asks Robinson .
Honeywell Healthcare has an upgraded nurse call solution system that is digitised and can sort through different patient requests , providing nurses with guidance to escalate each of these requests based on the clinical emergency .
“ We enable digitisation in the hospital space by really providing solutions , clinical flow solutions , or workflow solutions that are able to drive efficiency through the process ,” explains Robinson . “ Healthcare facilities can track the reduction of errors to see for themselves . This has a significant impact on the amount of time a patient stays in the hospital .”
� RINGCENTRAL Software development company RingCentral supports telemedicine solutions to increase staff retention and meet patient needs . Telemedicine solutions also keep the data of residents safe and secure .
� FLORENCE Florence provides care for healthcare professionals , with its end-to-end workforce system that can hire , train , onboard and roster staff within the platform and then use it to fill all the shift vacancies .
� UNSUSTAINABLE MEDICAL DEVICES GlobalData has called upon the medical device sector to reduce its waste . According to the World Health Organisation , 85 % of healthcare waste is non-hazardous , but the remaining 15 % is infectious , chemical , or even radioactive .
� BULLIES On World Mental Health Day , clinical psychologist Dr . Monica Vermani discussed how parents could support children who are being bullied , as well as help children who are bullies .
