Case Study: Maggiore Bologna Hospital improves surgical workflow traceability with Ascom Digistat

Maggiore Bologna Hospital - Customer Case Study

The customer, Maggiore Bologna Hospital, part of the AUSL Bologna health authority, faced the complex challenge of digitizing its extensive network of operating rooms to improve workflow traceability, optimize resource use, and move away from inefficient paper-based systems. They partnered with vendor Ascom to implement the Digistat platform to address these needs across eight hospitals.

The solution from Ascom provided a unified digital platform that streamlined the entire surgical process, from planning to post-operation, including automated data capture from medical devices and comprehensive management of surgical materials. This implementation by Ascom resulted in improved organizational efficiency, full traceability of medical devices for cost accountability, and the creation of a complete digital surgical record that integrates with the patient's electronic health record.
