Passion for life Getinge has been a strategic partner with SA Health throughout the ten-year journey that culminated in the opening of the new Royal Adelaide Hospital (nRAH) in September. The hospital itself represents a new benchmark in operational excellence and the integration of healthcare systems for the benefit of its patients: with the largest equipment and infrastructure package it has ever delivered, its opening certainly marks a milestone for Getinge. “We are incredibly proud to be a significant part of the team of medtech providers that has worked to supply world-class equipment and medical devices that support both patients and
staff in this new state-ofthe-art healthcare facility,” says Jaylea Strauch, ANZ President of the company. Among Getinge’s leading edge technologies at the hospital are its T-Doc sterile supply management system and the comprehensive infection control products that support the worldleading Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) at the hospital. The eight emergency rooms and 40 technical suites are fitted with its integrated technology control centres; TEGRIS for intuitive operating room integration in the technical suites and INSIGHT managing the patient flow throughout the hospital in both the technical suites and

emergency department. This TEGRIS installation is Getinge’s largest in the world: “It provides central control for operating rooms and emergency suites,” explains Ms Strauch, “while our INSIGHT solution manages workflow from emergency admission to outcome – all the way through a patient’s treatment.” As a leading global medtech company, Getinge was able to bring together expertise from round the world, supported by a large team of local service engineers, to deliver unrivalled services at the new hospital. “For us, as for nRAH, enabling positive outcomes for the patient is always the priority,” concludes Jaylea Strauch.
