The Digital Hospital concept is the new approach in automating hospitals; this concept comprises a completely automated set of health information management capabilities including all clinical, financial, and administrative requirements.

The Digital Hospital Solution goes beyond advanced Hospital Information Systems and includes significant additional integration between information technologies and medical technologies such as patient beds, surgical equipment, nurse call and communications systems, mobiles, wireless technology, TABLET PCs, POCKET PCs and medical imaging technologies…etc.
