10-year partnership to advance patient care
January 28, 2022
- Major German University Hospital secures long-term access to
the latest health technology through renewal of diagnostic and
image-guided therapy solutions
- Philips to deliver new and upgraded hybrid operating room and
interventional suites
- Agreement includes training and education for hospital’s
clinicians and medical technologists
Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips
(NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, and
the University Hospital Brandenburg an der Havel (Brandenburg,
Germany) have signed a 10-year strategic partnership to renew and
expand the hospital’s diagnostic and therapy options through the
delivery of advanced technology solutions. The approximately EUR 18
million agreement includes the supply of diagnostic imaging
solutions including ultrasound, MR and mobile X-ray, as well as
image-guided therapy suites and patient monitoring solutions. The
long-term cooperation will provide University Hospital Brandenburg
an der Havel with optimum flexibility and a needs-based approach to
technology selection and financing.
"We have decided to partner with Philips in order to ensure
high-quality, economical medical care for the population of our
region into the future," said Gabriele Wolter, Managing Director of
University Hospital Brandenburg an der Havel. “Our joint activities
will go well beyond device procurement and financing. There will be
a uniform operating philosophy across devices and departments for
renewal of our equipment inventory. In this way, we can speed up
processes, minimize operating errors, and make its use easier
throughout the clinic.”
With around 500 beds, University Hospital Brandenburg an der
Havel provides specialist care both locally and nationally for
around 26,000 inpatients and 48,000 ambulatory patients in 15
specialized clinics. With medical excellence, innovative therapies
and interdisciplinary teams, more than 2,000 employees work toward
a common goal: ensuring first-class treatment quality by linking
teaching, research and patient care.
Advanced diagnostic and therapy options, together with a modern
standardized equipment inventory, are an important part of the
hospital’s development for the future. A significant strategic
element of the agreement with Philips is enhancement of the
hospital’s vascular and cardiology specialist services. This
includes the upgrading of two existing interventional suites for
cardiac and vascular procedures and installation of a new hybrid
operating room equipped with Philips’ Image-Guided Therapy System -
Azurion - for minimally-invasive interventions. Minimally invasive
techniques offer significant benefits for healthcare systems and
patients, including reduced patient trauma (less patient risk),
shorter recovery times and hospital stays (faster patient
throughput), and lower health care costs.
"The aim of our cooperation is to take a holistic approach to
the design and organization of healthcare along the full treatment
pathways in the hospital, with our top priorities being improving
outcomes, enhancing the patient and staff experience, and reducing
the cost of care," said Heiko Borwieck, Health Systems Sales
Leader, Philips Germany.
Well-trained medical and nursing staff are an important part of
comprehensive patient care. Philips’ ICARUS learning academy for
medical and technical staff will be integrated into the hospital’s
existing training and education program as part of the cooperation.
Combining digital and face-to-face teaching methods, the platform
will allow the hospital’s radiology team to be trained individually
or in groups, independent of their location. The aim is to meet the
daily challenges of the radiology workplace through the training of
all employees so that the hospital can deliver a high-quality
standard of care.
