Q. Facing
the present drastic competition in China’s ventilation
and anesthesia market, how do you differentiate Dr ger
Medical 's
product concept with others?
Mr. Frahm: There are two additional key differentiators
on top of the strengths of Dr ger
Medical mentioned earlier already.
The first key differentiator is the fact that Dr ger
Medical
has developed from a supplier of individual devices, like anesthesia
workstations, into a solution provider for the different CareAreas™
in the hospital. Let's take the Operating Room as an example
to explain this a little bit more in detail:
Most hospitals can only survive by increasing efficiency and
enhancing the quality of outcome. The Operating Room plays a
key role in this process. It has a greater impact on the quality
of therapy than any other link in the patient care process and
accounts for up to 50% of the overall cost of an operated patient.
In times of limited hospital budgets, new OR concepts will help
to efficiently handle the growing numbers of patients, improve
the quality of therapy and make up for the shortage of well
trained medical staff.
Solutions offered by Dr ger
Medical support the design of the
workplaces for the surgeon and the anesthesiologist as well
as the processes in the Operating Room regarding the patient
, equipment, and information flow.
Dr ger
Medical offers equipment, which allows a flexible and
ergonomic design of the OR. The state-of-the-art ceiling supply
units, Agila, Movita and Forta, and innovative docking technology
make fast reconfiguration of surgical and anesthesia workplaces
possible. Furthermore Dr ger
Medical offers video and display
systems, Sola OR lights and OR tables, which allow ergonomic
and intelligent workplace designs to suit the specific needs
of each customer. Dr ger
Medical is setting the standard in
China for anesthesia delivery with our two comprehensive anesthesia
platforms Fabius and Primus and since the joint venture with
Siemens Medical Solutions was established last year Dr ger
Medical combines high-quality anesthesia delivery with continuous
patient monitoring and hospital-wide data integration with the
Infinity Patient Monitoring System™.
The Infinity Patient Monitoring System™ offers workflow
enhancement by meeting the needs of any type of patient and
any acuity level with one device. Infinity provides acute point
of care patient information from induction to the PACU (post-anesthesia
care unit) and saves precious time otherwise spent retrieving
the information from multiple networks and devices. Unique Pick
and Go® functionality provides hospital-wide continuous
monitoring, no matter if the patient is moved inside the OR
unit on mobile OR tables or transferred to the ICU. The Infinity
Patient Monitoring System™ eliminates multiple reconnections
of the patient and the need for an additional transport monitor
because our monitor travels with the patient.
These solutions offer tremendous potential to improve efficiency
in the OR –the safety aspects need to be additionally
considered, as the probability for human errors can be reduced
due to the synchronization of the human interface to the different
system components.
Today Dräger Medical is already one of the leading suppliers
for OR CareArea™Solutions in China and China is already
today one of the largest markets for Dräger Medical for
such kinds of solutions. Dräger Medical is committed to
further contribute to the development of a state-of-the-art
infrastructure for Operating Rooms in Chinese hospitals, which
will enable them to benchmark their performance on an international
level.
The second key differentiator is the commitment to strongly
develop the support functions especially Education & Training
and After Sales Services in China.
There is a strong demand in China to offer education and training
support to our customers, which is not only related to the device
training after installation of the equipment in the hospital
but even to the clinical application of our equipment during
daily operation in the Operating Room or Intensive Care Unit.
We have now a number of dedicated training specialists in China,
who do nothing else than perform interactive education and training
seminars together with our customers all over China. We have
entered into a joint co-operation with some famous Teaching
and University Hospitals in order to have access to the clinical
expertise from doctors and nurses, enabling us to build up powerful
networks between experienced and professional users of our equipment
and those who have a strong need to get more education and training.
Furthermore we are in the process to continuously improve a
strong service network with competent field service engineers,
who not only respond fast to our customers, but who also have
the competence to fix almost any problem - ideally at the first
time. We measure the performance of our service organization
continuously in order to derive the right priorities for further
improvement programs. Customer satisfaction is strongly influenced
by the service performance of any supplier and service performance
offers a great opportunity to differentiate your company from
any competitor.
