Today we announce a very special project in alliance with Children's Health Ireland to digitize an entirely digital children's hospital in Dublin. From Telefónica Tech, we will provide the hospital with technological infrastructure solutions and IT services.
The hospital, set to open in 2025, will feature digital technology in all its processes, from electronic medical records to building control systems, enabling more efficient information exchange and improved patient care.
Under this five-year agreement, our colleagues at Telefónica Tech UK&I will build and manage the hospital's IT infrastructure, with a special focus on Cybersecurity. Additionally, the platform will support clinical applications integrated into the hospital's new Electronic Patient Record system (EPIC).
In this way, Children's Health Ireland hospital will have a single sign-on system that will facilitate access to information for doctors, as well as a unique email system that will allow for seamless collaboration between the new hospital and the CHI urgent care centers in Connolly and Tallaght.
The security solutions we provide from Telefónica Tech will strengthen the Cyber Security stance of Children's Health Ireland, which aims to transform child healthcare in Ireland, becoming a center of excellence in the area.
