CASE STUDY

Overview

MDI Medical partnered with Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH), the South/South West Hospital Group, and the HSE to implement GE Healthcare’s Viewpoint 6 OBS/GYNAE solution across four hospitals:
Cork University Maternity Hospital, University Hospital
Kerry, Tipperary University Hospital, and Waterford
University Hospital.

This marks Ireland’s first standardised approach to obstetric and gynaecological care across a hospital group, delivering consistent care with advanced technology.

Project Highlights

Standardised Care: Uniform clinical processes across all sites improve continuity and outcomes.
Integrated Imaging: State-of-the-art GE Healthcare Ultrasound systems connected through Viewpoint 6 ensure improved clinical reporting.
Comprehensive Reporting: Customisable tools support tailored OBS/GYNAE reporting, data collection, and service audits, with plans to standardise Early Pregnancy Care (EPC) reports nationally.
Efficient Workflows: Automated processes reduce administrative burdens, enhancing focus on patient care.
Better Patient Experience: Patients benefit from seamless care without needing to carry paper files.

Clinical Outcomes

Consistency Across Sites: Standardised reporting ensures accurate comparisons and enhanced
continuity.
Enhanced Imaging: High-quality imaging and data integration support better decision-making and treatment.
Custom Reporting: Tools tailored for each site support audits, service evaluations, and future standardisation.
Improved Feedback: Clinical staff report higher productivity, reduced cognitive load, and greater
confidence.

“The system has already delivered significant improvements in patient care and we are confident the
ongoing enhancements will continue to strengthen the solution ensuring increased satisfaction from staff and even better outcomes for our patients in the future. ”
