Sunshine Private Hospital digital infrastructure delivered

Secure network and digital infrastructure provider Orro has completed the digital infrastructure build for Sunshine Private Hospital (SPH), a brand new state-of-the-art facility in Melbourne’s west. The hospital is managed by Unitas Healthcare and will open in early 2023.

In just six months, Orro designed and deployed a complete digital landscape. The project incorporates Orro Cloud, endpoint devices and the network and telephony infrastructure required to deliver a secure workplace and high user experience for hospital staff, all in support of SPH’s digital ambitions.

The infrastructure is hosted and managed by Orro in its private cloud and brings together multiple applications across the patient journey from intake, to surgery monitoring and reporting, and managing patient requirements.

Orro has integrated Follow-Me Desktop which enables hospital staff to log in from any computer around the facility, allowing staff desktops to follow them from workstation to workstation across inpatient locations. The system will support 250–300 staff at the hospital and significantly streamline the full patient lifecycle, increasing efficiency.

A security operations centre (SOC) run by Orro has been set up, which includes 24/7 monitoring, analysis and response services to ensure a secure environment in line with the hospital’s security requirements.

“Orro is pleased to be supporting Sunshine Private Hospital on the development of a new state-of-the-art facility, building an entire network and digital ecosystem from the ground up,” said Jonathan Plaskow, Director of Cloud Services.

“With no legacy issues or constraints that come with existing systems, we were able to provide an end-to-end solution across the full range of Orro capabilities Network, Cloud and Security.”

Andrew Kloster, Director of Unitas Healthcare and Sunshine Private Hospital, said the result is a seamlessly integrated solution.

“At Unitas Healthcare, we believe implementing innovative digital healthcare solutions leads to superior patient outcomes, which is our priority. Orro delivered a seamless, secure, cloud-first environment to allow us to build a fully integrated, industry-leading digital health system. By adopting advanced digital health care, the new Sunshine Private Hospital is now a state-of-the-art facility, delivering clear advantages to our doctors, our patients and our staff.

“We are extremely happy with the end result and we look forward to having Orro on board to support us as we move to provide better patient care for our community,” Kloster said.

Orro will act as part of the hospital’s IT team, providing on-premise services for full end-user support with a team onsite and 24/7 remote helpdesk support.

Management of the network will be out of Orro’s Network Operations Centre, as well as utilising the company’s worldwide monitoring and support centres.

The solution will also offer SPH a much greater degree of network visibility and control, consolidating telecommunications suppliers into one portal through Orro’s management network platform One Touch Control (OTC).

With OTC’s highly integrated network management approach, the business receives real-time status of network performance and proactive alerts on hardware health and network performance for utilisation, latency, packet loss and jitter across all network legs.
