After the success of the first event, Dedalus France decided to repeat the experience this year with a second D4 Evolution event. This took place in Paris on 23 January 2020.

It was a day characterised by the exchange and sharing of the Dedalus strategy with key players in the French health sector. The day was divided in two: the morning was dedicated to a conference in which important guests participated, and the afternoon allowed our clients to learn more about the new D4 components and our other products through workshops.

As Giorgio Moretti, President of Dedalus Holding, explained during his speech: “We have the honour now of being the leading company in the European Health Sector and one of the biggest players on the world stage, an important milestone for the future of patient care. Our obligation is to carry out this hugely important and complex work, with humility, enthusiasm, and professionalism.”

 

Frederic Vaillant, CEO Dedalus France, opened the conference, addressing clients and guests about the three most important D4 evolution projects:

  • the first implementation of P4C with DxEvoat the Fondation Adolphe de Rothschild
  • the first activation of C4C Meeting at the Groupe Hospitalier Paris Saint-Joseph
  • the special partnership between Dedalus and the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Montpellier, one of the most important Public Hospital Centres (CHU), to set up an innovative IT Digital Information System based on the D4 architecture 

For Thomas Le Ludec, Head of the University Hospital of Montpellier, the hierarchy in place over the last forty years saw the leadership of health facilities as the sole protagonist in IT decision-making, bringing sub-optimal results. Now, explains Mr Le Ludec, there is a need to turn this on its head so that clinicians are permanently involved in digitalisation planning processes, integrating solutions natively into the professional operation.

Last year, the aim of the event was to present the technical architecture of the D4 solution and enable its development. This year, as Giorgio Moretti emphasised, the key component is the Clinical Knowledge Portal, transforming traditional IT solutions into a modern Clinical Information System able to support clinicians in their daily activity.

Thomas Le Ludec highlighted what healthcare facilities want from the industry: “Not only should an Information System be reliable on a technical level and capable of supporting a large number of individuals simultaneously, it must also be user-friendly.”

Dominique Pon, Strategic Director of Digital Transformation for the French Ministry of Health and Director of the Pasteur Clinic in Toulouse, concluded by stressing the necessity of a collective approach towards the digital transformation of healthcare. All the stakeholders in the sector must use the same standards and rules to establish common foundations. This is the only way to form a solid framework that can confront the challenges of the future.

The workshops were an opportunity for our clients to learn more about some of our already-existing projects. Particular interest was elicited by the CKP system, the mobility solution Quarness, as well as the Artificial Intelligence and precision of the oncology medication planning and preparation Pharmoduct robot. There was also great interest in Business Intelligence with BI4H, digital pathology solution S4H, and also the DxCare vs D4 roadmap, among others.

The magic of the day continued in the evening with a performance from Hiro, the illusionist and psychic, who provided a poetic and innovative finale, capturing the spirit of the event.
