What's on the screen

The 3D floor. The emergency department (waiting room, triage, 14 curtained bays round the nurses' station, the ambulance door), the operating suite (four theatres on a sterile corridor, pre-op and recovery), the internal medicine and surgical wards (ten two-bed rooms each) and intensive care (eight glass-fronted rooms). Patients in their beds, staff at the stations and in the rooms; every infusion pump on its pole or on its store's shelf. "Room status" colours the floor of every bed, bay and theatre by what it is doing; "Pumps" lights the pumps by theirs.
Beds. Every one of the 48 beds, both as it is in the room and as the hospital information system (HIS) has it: occupied, empty but still on the record, awaiting cleaning, being cleaned, ready.
Emergency and pumps. The admitted patients waiting for a ward bed, the longest wait, the bays in use, the waiting room; the 36 infusion pumps by area: in use, free in a store, left in a room whose patient has gone.
Operating rooms. The four theatres' day: operating, cleaning, standing empty.
The advisor. Three findings through the morning. At 10:15, surgery has no free pump, while pumps stand idle in the intensive care store, in emergency and in emptied rooms. At 10:35, beds on the wards have emptied but are not released, while six admitted patients wait in emergency; had the discharges been entered as the patients left, the morning's waits in emergency would have been 8.5 hours shorter in all. At 10:55, theatre 3 is ready but its next patient was called once the cleaning was done; the room stands empty for 60 minutes.

How to try it

Use the camera buttons to move from the overview to emergency, the wards and the theatres, or drag to orbit.
Scrub through the morning in the bar below: the amber marks are when the advisor raised its findings.
"Room status" and "Pumps" are two views. "Show" on a finding opens the view that tells it and frames the place.
"Watch the film" plays the same scene full screen as a 26-second walkthrough.

In a real installation

This page is a demo: the hospital, its patients and the data are simulated and representative; it does not show a system installed in a hospital. In a real installation, bed status comes from the hospital information system (HIS) and bed sensors, device locations from a real-time location system (RTLS), and the theatre list from the operating room management system. The twin follows beds, rooms and devices, not patients; no patient names appear on the screen.
