An Aging Infrastructure

Founded in 1805 in London, Moorfields Eye Hospital is the oldest and largest center for ophthalmic treatment, teaching, and research in Europe.

Chris Harding, Director of Estates and Facilities at Moorfields, is responsible for ensuring optimal facility availability and reliability for the 1,800 staff members and thousands of patients who visit the hospital each year.

With an aging infrastructure and strict maintenance regulations, gaining visibility and control over every aspect of the facility is critical.

Armed with a passion for the latest technology in his field, Chris Harding chose the StruxureWare™ for Healthcare suite of products, software, and services, now known as EcoStruxure™ for Healthcare, to manage his facility infrastructure and gain insights into operational efficiency opportunities.

An Innovative Solution

EcoStruxure for Healthcare helps make the best of the hospital’s existing infrastructure by integrating the older but valuable building systems into one comprehensive platform. Having full visibility into the hospital infrastructure, Chris’ teams can now ensure that many aspects of the building now under control can monitor and report when outside health and safety compliance. Thanks to all the sensors throughout the facility feeding information to his building management system, EcoStruxure Building Operation, Chris’ team has instant access to this critical information 24/7.

If an electrical asset goes down anywhere in the hospital, the facility team receives a notification on their phone or laptop, and can immediately react. This reduces the man hours spent maintaining the facility. Insight into the precise energy consumption of the building also helps reduce energy costs during times of low utilization.

To keep track of people and valuable objects that can sometimes be hard to find in such a big hospital, Moorfields Eye Hospital also uses Real Time Location System (RTLS) to quickly locate wheelchairs and track valuable medical equipment as well as key staff members.

RTLS tags are also given to patients to better understand their journey through the hospital. Gaining insights into how long patients wait and what they do during this time has been key in understanding and continuously improving the overall patient experience.

Designed with doctors in mind, the operating theater panel provides a clear view of the power and room environment information they need in order to ensure patient and staff safety during surgeries, enabling the eye experts to focus their attention where it is needed most.

“EcoStruxure for Healthcare has helped us get all of the right data at the right time and spend less man-hours maintaining the systems, lowering my OpEx costs,” states Chris Harding.
