Download case study

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 hospitalized, 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
Minimized disruption of private and professional life by increasing same-day discharge

Freed up 5 clinical ward beds

Average €500 cost saving per case

Optimization 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.”
