Portable offsite facilities to manage increased patient volume and changed workflows due to COVID-19
Royal Philips , a global leader in health technology, has introduced Diagnostic Imaging cabin/container solutions, and offsite computed tomography , and Diagnostic X-Ray solutions in the Philippines.
Hence, beyond COVID-19, these solutions can not only be used in emergency situations but also in scenarios requiring rapid capacity expansion of Diagnostic Imaging facilities.
The Philips CT Cabin is a container converted into a functional and portable CT facility that can be placed in the hospital, just outside of it, or even in a mobile environment like a truck.
Some products that can be deployed in the cabins are Philips Access CT and Philips Incisive CT range.
Although CT is a reliable diagnostic imaging method, this is not always readily available in emergency room settings.
As the mobile and flexible diagnostic imaging cabins enable healthcare professionals to perform medical procedures remotely, this minimizes health workers’ exposure to patients in the hospital, thus minimizing their risk of cross-infection,”, said Ashwin Chari, country manager, Philips Philippines.
“The innovative, plug-and-play cabins aim to improve the working conditions of health workers to allow for better health outcomes for them, their patients, and the society,” he added.
