The construction of the new pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) from Sant Joan de Déu Hospital in Barcelona started in early 2017. The new unit has an area of 1.440 m2, and replaces the old one (of 380 m2) with the aim of enhancing service efficiency and ergonomics and patient comfortability at the same time. To avoid disruption of activity, the opening took place in two stages: a first part of the unit, incorporating 8 boxes, already opened by the end of 2017, while the rest, including 14 boxes and a second control area, in June 2018.
Technology acquisition was a key strategic aspect for the service. With such a thought, BIOREM developed the equipment plan for the new unit based on the functional and architectural plans and taking into account the needs of all healthcare professionals. Hospital equipment was also installed progressively, together with the advance of the construction works.
