Hospedia Partners with GE Capital
Published: 2011-10-07
Hospedia today announces that it has partnered with GE Capital to put in place funding to underpin the rapid growth of the business.
Working in conjunction with many NHS trusts, Hospedia has already installed over 7,000 new terminals at the bedside that are capable of not only providing a high quality media experience for the patient, but also enable the hospital to easily access their own IT systems, optimise workflow through applications like food ordering and real-time patient feedback – all whilst providing a significantly better patient experience.
These new "smart terminals" include a 15" touch screen and optional extras including RFID and barcode scanners to support the increasing use of technology in healthcare. In addition Hospedia is increasing the range of clinical and other hospital-serving software applications that can be supported by its extensive networks in over 150 acute NHS hospitals throughout the UK. These networks are also being expanded with the addition of Wi-Fi networks for both public and Trust use.
Since being acquired by the US private equity firm Marlin Equity Partners in August last year, the business has been able to invest in this new and better equipment and is increasing the number of terminals it installs each month.
Commenting on the new facility, Tim Weil, CEO of Hospedia said "we are delighted to have found a funding partner of GE's strength to work with, and see this as another important milestone in the development of Hospedia. There is strong demand from Trusts to have our new terminals installed at the bedside, as they are keen to unlock the many operating efficiencies that can be achieved"
