At HIMSS 2026 in Las Vegas, Diagnóstico Journal interviewed Elena Ovreiu, PhD, GIV-HEALTH Director at GIV Solutions, shedding light on a critical yet often overlooked aspect of healthcare innovation: operational management.
While the healthcare industry continues to invest heavily in clinical advancements, the reality is that hospital performance depends just as much on the efficiency of its day-to-day operations. From managing medical equipment and facilities to coordinating complex workflows, operational excellence is what enables hospitals to function seamlessly—24/7.
During the interview, Elena emphasized that true digital transformation in healthcare cannot be achieved without addressing these foundational elements. GIV-HEALTH™ was designed for this purpose, serving as the digital brain of the smart hospital. The platform provides real-time visibility into assets, infrastructure, and resources, while enabling automation of workflows and delivering actionable insights for hospital leadership
By integrating data across departments and processes, hospitals can identify inefficiencies, reduce costs, and improve decision-making. This leads not only to better operational performance, but also to enhanced patient care and safety.
The key takeaway is clear: even the most advanced clinical systems rely on strong operational foundations. Without them, delays, inefficiencies, and resource gaps are inevitable.
