9Solutions locating nurse call system to new Hospital Nova in Central Finland

The new Hospital Nova in Central Finland deploys the 9Solutions locating nurse call and personal safety system.

Hospital Nova is currently the largest of the almost 5 billion € hospital investments ongoing or in planning phase in Finland. The cost estimate of the whole project is ca. 500 million euros and the total area of the hospital is 110,000 brm2, or about four times the main railway station in Helsinki.

The 9Solutions locating nurse call is installed to the whole hospital area. The value of the purchase, tendered by SRV, is almost 2 million euros and it is the biggest individual deal in the history of 9Solutions Oy.

“Our goal is to improve staff and patient safety. This is an important reference to us and also an opportunity to develop the system further with the customer”, comments Sami Herrala, CEO of 9Solutions Oy.

The new hospital is built in Kukkumäki in Jyväskylä. Most of the premises will be used by special health care and a smaller part by Jyväskylä City basic health care. The constructor is SRV, currently the biggest hospital project implementer in Finland.

“The benefit of the 9Solutions system is wireless operation. Installation doesn’t require cabling, which makes our work considerably easier and quicker,” SRV’s acquisitions manager Riku Vihervaara explains the choice.

The implementation planning and building of the hospital started in 2016 and completion is expected in 2020. The modern hospital equipped with high-quality technology will equal university hospital level. The 9Solutions system will be installed in all wards in Hospital Nova during 2018-2020. Certego is responsible for system installations.

”In Hospital Nova, we believe that 9Solutions can develop its services agilely also in the future”, Manu Mikkonen, ICT specialist of Central Finland health care district, comments his expectations of the cooperation.
