      • Creating inspiring healthy spaces


        Health is influenced by many factors, including our working environment. At Philips, we partner with you to create "healthy spaces" that meet the goals of the quadruple aim: enhancing the patient experience, improving health outcomes, lowering the cost of care and improving the work life of care providers.
         

        Our Community Diagnostic Centres and Hubs spaces are both inspiring and easy to access, led by evidence-based design.  The positive impact of this approach can be measured in terms of improved outcomes and the experience for patients and staff.
         

        We leverage our global expertise, tools and methodologies, to develop safe, quality, innovative facilities across Radiology, Cardiology, Oncology, Respiratory and Sleep health spaces, incorporating the latest technologies and immersive experience solutions.

      • Magnetic Resonance (MRI) – reducing waiting times

         

        Waiting times can be a source of frustration for patients.  Philips MR solutions connect data, technology and people to reduce waiting times in key areas.

Greater flexibility in locating your MR system in a wide range of Community Diagnostic Hub and Centre locations, whether in a retail space or high-rise building.


        Philips Compressed SENSE™ reduces scan times by up to 50% across all anatomies1. The result is increased productivity and diagnostic confidence, leading to reduced patient waiting times.
