Schneider Electric has reached a partnership agreement with the Australian Centre for Health Innovation (CHI) in Melbourne to enable hands-on interaction with its latest intelligent, integrated healthcare technologies.

The centre will display Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure integrated architecture, showcasing its capabilities across the sector, validating Schneider Electric’s value propositions within the Australian healthcare environment. Schneider Electric’s partnership with CHI will enable the organisation to understand further what the operational issues and end-user pain-points are across healthcare facilities and how these can be addressed to improve efficiency and productivity.

“We are very excited about this opportunity and what the joint collaboration will mean for enabling healthcare innovation across Australia,” says Glen Scott, National Healthcare Manager, Schneider Electric. “Through this partnership, over 6,500 yearly visitors to the centre such as clinicians, health administrators and clinical IT professionals will be able to interact first hand with Schneider Electric’s innovative healthcare infrastructure solution at a direct interface within the clinical environment.”

Through the valued partnership, Schneider Electric is able to market test its newly introduced, leading solutions and demonstrate its expertise in the healthcare sector. It will also enable Schneider Electric to focus on the key areas of improving healthcare productivity and efficiencies. The partnership cements Schneider Electric’s offer in Australia’s healthcare market which is a core sector for the organisation.

“We are delighted to welcome Schneider Electric on board at CHI, and we look forward to working with the organisation in an ongoing partnership, which we see as benefiting both parties as well as future healthcare developments in Australia,” said Susan Harrison, General Manger, CHI.

The Australian Centre for Health Innovation facilitates testing and simulation for service improvements adopted in patient care, health administration and safety across Australia and New Zealand healthcare facilities. Its expertise in simulated education, experiential learning and solution design delivers great outcomes to the toughest health challenges across the country.

Schneider Electric’s solutions are already being showcased and functional at CHI.
