35. Patient first: how Karolinska University Hospital is transforming to meet future demands of healthcare

The resource (2019) describes the partnership between Karolinska Hospital and Philipps in providing imagining devices and in reorganising the hospital care services. The new organisation for the Hospital of Solna is organized in patient care flows. For example, patients with heart and vascular conditions are treated in an integrated manner, with specialists from functions such as emergency medicine, imaging, and cardiology working together – often in the same building or corridor. In this framework, Karolinska and Philips agreed on a managed equipment services model: Philips coordinated the procurement and commissioning of all required imaging equipments; took on responsibility for the coordination of transport, installation, and commissioning of equipment, and for the training of staff.
