The Ospital ng Parañaque I has partnered with PLDT Enterprise, the B2B arm of the country's largest integrated telco PLDT, for cutting-edge digital solutions to enhance the delivery of healthcare services to its patients and help streamline the digitalization of hospital operations.
The landmark partnership will elevate OsPar I to becoming a "smart hospital," further increasing efficiency, enhancing the patient journey and optimizing overall business operations.
The partnership entails the upgrade of all PLDT Enterprise services at OsPar I, including connectivity, telephony systems, structured cabling and broadband.
With the integration of PLDT Enterprise's SIP Trunks and Managed PABX solutions, all departments within the hospital, including the emergency room, delivery room, operating room, outpatient department and ancillary services, will be interconnected for seamless and efficient communication among hospital staff and constituents of the city government of Parañaque.
With data connectivity now available across departments, medical practitioners can access crucial patient information in real time, enabling faster diagnosis and more personalized treatments. Moreover, the newly opened Dialysis Center and Intensive Care Unit will be equipped with advanced digital tools, further enhancing patient care and overall operational efficiency.
These initiatives were made under the leadership of hospital director Dr. Jefferson R. Pagsisihan and the support of Mayor Eric Olivarez in their continuing commitment to ensure quality healthcare for their constituents.
Located along Quirino Avenue in Barangay La Huerta in Parañaque City, OsPar 1 is the first local government hospital in the city. It has been servicing customers and caring for patients for over 45 years, and is an accredited healthcare provider by PhilHealth.
This year, representatives from the city government and PLDT Enterprise celebrated the turnover ceremony of the Dialysis Center at the lobby of OsPar 1, marking a pivotal moment in the hospital's digital transformation journey.
"PLDT Enterprise is happy to support the efforts of the City Government of Parañaque in building the new wing of the Ospital Ng Parañaque by providing strong, steady and secure internet broadband connections," said Vincent R. Rodriguez, PLDT Enterprise Business Head.
The digitalization of OsPar I is expected to impact the healthcare sector in Parañaque City. By leveraging PLDT Enterprise's innovative technologies, OsPar I can optimize patient care and improve medical outcomes.
As Ospital ng Parañaque Hospital Director Dr. Jefferson Pagsisihan said, "We are excited about the possibilities that PLDT Enterprise's digital solutions will bring to Ospital ng Parañaque. This will revolutionize our medical services and allow us to provide a more efficient and transparent healthcare system to our community."
