Healthcare construction puts patients at risk

Hospital-acquired infections cause thousands of preventable deaths each year. Construction work—while necessary—can trigger air quality and noise issues that endanger patients. ICRA 2.0 guidelines help reduce risk through continuous monitoring of construction activities, but manual compliance is time-consuming and prone to gaps. PwC’s turnkey IoT solution delivers faster, cheaper, and more reliable compliance monitoring—automatically—helping you meet standards and protect patient safety.

“Hospital-acquired infections related to construction and renovation activities account for more than 5,000 deaths per year across the United States.”

Real-time Connected Solutions IoT data in Oracle tools helps improve construction project visibility, incident detection, and ICRA 2.0 compliance

PwC’s Connected Solutions delivers a turnkey IoT solution across private IoT networks and sensors to monitor construction zones automatically.

No IT lift is needed. PwC-managed installations using over-the-top sensors and networks generate real-time insights and scalable coverage across all construction projects:

  • Differential pressure sensors monitor sealed, compliant enclosures to help prevent construction dust and debris from getting out into patient environments.
  • Air quality sensors assess effective air filtration practices to help prevent hazardous air conditions for workers and patients.
  • Noise and vibration sensors help ensure construction activities stay within safe volume limits, helping maintain a calm, quiet environment that supports patient recovery.

Deployments are flexible and configurable to cover additional projects and patient areas as needed. Enable new sensor data points and expand coverage as projects evolve.

Oracle Primavera’s Infection Control Risk Permit business process helps streamline construction project management and ICRA 2.0 compliance:

  • Start a new project and open an infection control risk permit.
  • Log construction activity details and patient risk areas to understand ICRA 2.0 risk classification.
  • Obtain ICRA 2.0 guidance to understand recommended mitigation activities to help reduce patient risk.
  • Confirm and manage enclosure construction and environmental monitoring practices.

Connected Solutions IoT data flows directly into Oracle Primavera via pre-built Oracle Integration Cloud Accelerators:

  • Sensor measurements open automatic construction rounding logs.
  • View and analyze historic data to identify construction trends and behaviors.
  • Export records to simplify compliance reporting.
  • Set up threshold-based alerts to establish construction best practices.
  • Receive alerts for out-of-compliant construction activities as they happen.
  • Open incident logs and respond quickly to help reduce risks to patients and staff.

ICRA 2.0 compliance is just the beginning. Connected Solutions creates a platform to expand beyond construction and into enterprise-wide environmental and clinical monitoring:

  • Over-the-top sensors help improve facility operations and utility and energy consumption.
  • Monitor patient spaces and clinical operations to streamline the patient experience.
  • Use the Indoor Geolocation Platform to monitor ingress/egress points and support safety and security initiative.
  • Transform your operations with real-time IoT data.
