The Rigshospitalet Heart Centre

Copenhagen, Denmark

The heart centre in this hospital in Denmark was looking to maximize its cath lab usage, optimize its operations, and enhance its employee engagement. The goal? To enable it to provide patients with better care. In an ongoing partnership with IHS, the heart center has:

  • Saved more than 2 million Euro over a three-year time period
  • Launched a Cardiolounge for same-day discharge
  • Created a data-driven approach for managing workflow
  • Optimized room usage
  • Improved cath lab on-time starts from 20% to 75%
  • And more

IHS has helped bring new methods and tools into the operation, optimization, and development of the department of cardiology.”
