Case Study: Valkeakoski Health Center Hospital achieves smoother daily operations with Solita’s Pulse

Valkeakoski Health Center Hospital speeds up ward operations with Solita using Pulse

The Valkeakoski Health Center Hospital, serving multiple municipalities, sought to modernize operations and processes for its new facility, moving away from inefficient, paper-based planning. They aimed to improve safety, efficiency, and staff well-being by digitizing daily ward management. The hospital partnered with vendor Solita to implement the Pulse system, a real-time planning tool originally co-developed by Solita for hospital wards.

Solita worked closely with the hospital staff to adapt the Pulse system for its various wards, involving users from the specification stage to ensure a joint effort. The solution replaced whiteboards and printouts, providing a single digital source for patient flow, bed management, and staff workload planning. The results included smoother daily operations, increased efficiency, safer processes, and a more satisfied nursing staff. Staff reported easier shift planning, better information flow, and greater operational transparency, with Pulse becoming the central tool for ward management.
