Belinda Gerdt on LinkedIn: Care means the world | Philips sustainable healthcare (2024)

RSNA always delivers an opportunity for rich interactions and connections with customers and partners. I left the conference inspired by all the customer insights and advances in the healthcare industry.This year, #RSNA2023 highlighted Philips commitment as a leader in health technology and end-to-end partner. Our participation at RSNA was all about how Philips empowers healthcare providers to see beyond clinical complexities and workflow obstacles, with fully integrated solutions designed to help hospitals and health systems to consistently deliver accessible, high-quality care to patients in a sustainable way.We held a dedicated session with customers from the Nordics to address region-specific healthcare challenges. During which, we delved into the evolving landscape of healthcare in the region, exploring how innovative technologies can address emerging challenges. The exchange of insights and ideas with industry leaders reinforced our belief in the transformative power of collaboration and integration. Without the shadow of a doubt, the future of healthcare truly depends on ecosystems that deliver improved patient outcomes and experiences at lower cost. Also in Chicago, Philips introduced our incredible Enterprise Informatics business, and unveiled a suite of solutions that will revolutionize healthcare data management and operational efficiency. Central to this was the unveiling of AI and cloud solutions. Enhanced with clinical and operational informatics to increase productivity and extend the lifetime value, these solutions are further backed with services, educational and clinical decision support. At the Philips booth, the Advanced Visualization workstation featured more than 50 AI-based tools where RSNA attendees could experience firsthand how the solution optimizes workflows, improves data management, and elevates the overall efficiency of healthcare delivery.These solutions not only represent innovation milestones but also emphasize the dedication to improving patient care and fostering a more #sustainable healthcare future. I am really looking forward to working together as we continue to deliver accessible, high-quality care to patients in a sustainable way. If you also attended #RSNA2023, you may have seen our newest commitment to keep one eye on the patient and one eye on the planet. Let us continue to partner with purpose. #CareMeansTheWorld

We are committed to delivering high-quality healthcare to as many patients as possible. In addition to precision and efficiency in diagnosis and treatment, our customers expect our portfolio to support their sustainability and NetZero strategies. Discussions at today’s Executive Summit show that we are on the right track. Bringing together more than 200 healthcare executives from 37 countries, we delved into how #TeamHealthineers can contribute to more accessible, resilient, affordable, and sustainable healthcare.A fundamental pillar in achieving our objectives is transitioning to a more #circular economy. This shift to circular practices is seamlessly integrated into our corporate strategy, aimed at reducing the environmental impact of healthcare through our products and services. At the same time, we are harnessing the potential of digitalization: AI is empowering medical professionals to address challenging demographic trends, ultimately enhancing the resilience of our healthcare workforce. Among my takeaways:➡️ You can feel the enthusiasm of our customers. Everyone is eager to share thoughts, discuss pressing topics within healthcare, and find solutions.➡️ We often use the term: 'Medtech is global, but healthcare is local.’ Our summit underscores that challenges and opportunities are global phenomena with local spins.➡️ Our in-person meeting provides a rich platform for meaningful exchange.Thank you for taking the time and sharing your insights at #SHexecsummit23, and kudos to the team for organizing this great event!#Sustainability #TeamWork #Healthcare
