NEW HOSPITAL OF BIELLA
ITALY - BIELLA
The new hospital, inaugurated at the end of 2014, is the newest  facility in Piedmont, and it is equipped with a cutting-edge technological endowment. The beds are around 600, for a total area of 127,000 square meters. The new hospital is a point of reference for regional healthcare thanks to latest generation technological equipment such as the pneumatic conveying system Hospital Pneumatic Tube System.
The system creates a quick connection between wards, operating blocks and ER on the one hand, and analysis laboratory, donation centre and pharmacy on the other. The pneumatic transport positively affects the laboratory performance due to a considerable reduction of Turn Around Time made possible by the rapid and safe handling of the samples. In fact the system enables to send up to 127 carriers per hour from the wards to the laboratory.
