Welcome to BD Innovation and Engagement Center

This collaborative environment showcases the full scope of BD solutions to help address healthcare challenges across the care continuum. From diagnosis to recovery, imagine the possibilities of BD solutions across patient journeys in an interactive, experiential way.

A patient's journey

From diagnosis to treatment and recovery, the patient pathway is full of complexities that BD is helping to address. Discover one patient’s journey across the care continuum.

		Exam room The patient visits his doctor to discuss his symptoms, particularly a lump he discovered a few days ago.
		Emergency room ER The patient’s condition worsens — he has developed a high fever, a cough, nausea and he is beginning to feel dizzy. He goes to the emergency room for tests, including blood and urine collection; during analysis, his condition continues to deteriorate.
		Clinical pathology laboratory The specimens taken from the patient in the ER arrive at the sample reception area, where a range of chemistry and haematology tests are conducted.
		Microbiology laboratory The patient’s blood and urine specimens taken in the ER arrive at the microbiology laboratory for analysis to determine a diagnosis.
		Intensive care unit ICU In the meantime, the patient is transferred to the intensive care unit as  sepsis is suspected. He is under the care of the ICU to be closely monitored until his condition stabilises.
		Operating room The patient returns to the hospital six months later with new complications; he is feeling very ill with severe abdominal pain. An examination and ultrasound confirm a mass consistent with lymphoma. The decision is taken to remove the tumour.
		Oncology outpatient clinic Seven days after surgery, the patient’s condition has improved and he is discharged. Following his recovery plan from surgery, he starts a new treatment for lymphoma on a pre-determined schedule.
		Aseptic pharmacy Chemotherapy medications are prepared on-demand, specifically for each patient. The patient waits in the outpatient ward while the chemotherapy drugs are compounded in the aseptic pharmacy.
		Pharmacy When the patient goes home, he has to manage multiple medications and their instructions, which can be complex. He knows he must be careful to take the right drugs, in the right quantity, at the right time.
