Rivne Regional Clinical Hospital

Overview

Public hospitals in Ukraine and abroad are the backbone of healthcare systems, providing essential care to their communities. Ukraine’s hospitals are now severely strained as russia’s war of aggression continues across the country. This means that healthcare workers must do more with fewer resources in order to continue serving patients effectively.

Rivne Regional Clinical Hospital has been using knopka for over one year and thanks to the system, they have improved quality of care, speed of service, and significantly increased their patient capacity. The care team loves our product and wants to implement the system for all 24 departments, including patient emergency call buttons. 

However, the capital investment is beyond their budget as public funding continues to be strained across the country.

Brief Description of the Project / Technology / Other Specifics

Our company, knopka, (or “button”), helps doctors and nurses improve patient care with emergency call buttons and hospital automation software. The system utilizes smartphones, tablets, and physical buttons that all work together to optimize the care team’s processes across all departments and improve patient outcomes.

Project Goals

• Full implementation of the knopka system to all 24 departments 
  
  • Equip all hospital departments with smartphones, tablets, and physical call buttons, ensuring seamless communication between patients, nurses, and doctors
• Accelerate regional healthcare access
  
  • Strengthen the hospital’s ability to provide consistent, high-quality care, benefiting thousands of patients in the region
• Financial stabilization
  
  • Offset operational costs in 2025, alleviating the hospital’s financial strain and ensuring uninterrupted healthcare delivery

By investing in this project, you will fund the cost of the smartphones, tablets, and physical call buttons for patients, nurses, and doctors across all hospital departments. This also covers one year of the annual subscription cost for the system.
