JWF launches Oxygen Flow Dashboard for NHS hospitals
Introduction
At the height of the COVID crisis with hospital admissions increasing dramatically, and the numbers of patients either on ventilators or in need of oxygen rising daily, one of the facilities managers of the Royal Alexandria Hospital in Paisley reached out to JWF to ask for help.
They needed a way to accurately measure the hospital's usage of oxygen on a real-time basis. Following a site survey, JWF installed a non-invasive flow meter connected to a newly developed data dashboard where all the key metrics can easily be viewed. The dashboard can be accessed by anyone in the hospital and used remotely on any smart device.
Following successful installation and deployment at Royal Alexandria Hospital, JWF to date have installed over 60 flow meters which provides over 100 independent measurements over 40 hospitals in Scotland and the North of England. Roll out of data dashboards are in place in several health boards across Scotland.
