Patient-centric Cardiolounge
A modern Cardiolounge for same-day discharge delivers value.
Rigshospitalet
Copenhagen, Denmark
The hospital aspired to handle an increasing number of patients with existing resources, come up with solutions to support same-day discharge, create an environment that makes patients feel less hospitalised, and support value-based healthcare (outcome and value for the patient at the lowest possible cost). These challenges have been addressed by constructing an innovative and patient-centric Cardiolounge.
- Higher satisfaction and autonomy for patients and relatives
- Faster convalescence
- Minimised disruption of private and professional life by increasing same-day discharge
Freed up 5 clinical ward beds
Average €500 cost saving per case
Optimisation of work and patient flow
I was so worried before coming to the hospital for my procedure, but the Cardiolounge setting is very welcoming, and the relaxing atmosphere calms me down.
