Intranet

This is a space conceived for professionals of the Vall d’Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus. Intranets are internal digital platforms for accessing management applications, assisting employees and generating value for the institution. The Campus provides everyone with the information they need in order to carry out their day-to-day tasks. You can log in through your institution and register using your corporate username.

Smart Campus

For the Campus, “smart” means planning improvements in our physical surroundings, making them more pleasant and accessible, at the same time as promoting technological renovation. It also means enabling people’s experience, whether through new technologies in relation to patients, such as mobile apps, or working towards intelligent management of professional processes. 

The environment and experience we offer people who pass through Vall d’Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus are key, and for this reason it is important they are at the same level of excellence as the healthcare and research. The goal is to build a Smart Campus to improve the quality of the patient and staff experience by using urban and sustainable resources, and technology to improve service experience and meet people’s needs.

Project description

The Campus promotes the improvement of the experience and services for citizens and professionals, with measures that allow the most urgent shortcomings in our environment to be addressed, in line with sustainability criteria. In this sense, Vall d’Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus is developing projects to become a more accessible and smart campus.

We are working to bring the Campus in line with the national and international benchmark we represent. Our environment must work alongside us, projecting towards the new needs for the future and preparing us for the new challenges of public health over the next 20 years.

The surroundings

The surroundings affect our level of service and patient experience. That is why the new Smart Campus model we are working on will guarantee its environmental sustainability and accessibility to the public. Changing the architecture throughout the Campus, establishing an architecture of unique buildings that symbolise the medicine of the future, opening up the hospital to the neighbourhood.

We are building a people-friendly Campus, providing green spaces and taking advantage of natural resources. Restricting traffic flow and rearranging the flow of authorised vehicles, as well as a better flow of goods.

All this is being planned in the context of the new VHIR building, which includes rearranging and reassessing the Campus buildings, evaluating them and applying sustainability measures aimed at efficiency and energy savings, constant maintenance and reduction of management costs.

“Smartcare”

Vall d’Hebron is actively incorporating mobile technology into its relations with patients and staff, as a tool to improve medical care, research, teaching, patient relations and, ultimately, contribute to improving the public health system.

The flagship app of the Vall d’Hebron Campus is a project that serves to put the healthcare system at patients’ fingertips. It facilitates access to and being on campus, with useful information about logistical aspects such as timetables, maps and contact details; it shares news, activities and other information of interest about the Campus, and incorporates a private patient area.

This private area, which will be called “My Vall d’Hebron”, will allow the patient to track their history of appointments, operations, tests, etc., and invite other people to share this information. The top functionality that “My Vall d’Hebron” incorporates is the ability to track operations.

To improve professionals’ communication and knowledge, the Campus has also developed the We Are Vall d’Hebron application, and is partnering in the development of other applications to facilitate the relationship and experience of patients and citizens.

Smart process management

“Smart” also means using technologies and new methods to accelerate and optimise processes. From connecting facilities, which allows smarter management, to organising work processes (relationships between staff, leadership, group working in the cloud, use of Big Data and global management systems).

We work to ensure that the Campus is up to the national and international care record we are.

New Vall d'Hebron Research Institute building

A clear strategic commitment to lay the foundations for continued growth.

The new Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) building is a clear strategic commitment that will benefit the Institute’s current researchers and offer an opportunity to lay the foundation for continued growth.

It is a commitment to attracting and retaining talent, enhancing public and private alliances and consolidating the VHIR as a benchmark research centre with leading techniques. It is not just a question of money or infrastructure, but it also directly impacts on the care we offer our patients.

Project description

The team of Catalan architects formed by BAAS Arquitectura i Espinet/Ubach won the tender to build the new VHIR building and change the layout of Vall d’Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus. Their design was selected from five finalists by an international panel comprising well-known architectural figures.

The proposal from the team led by Jordi Badia, Antoni Ubach and Miquel Espinet solves the issue of internal mobility within the Campus using a vertical axis of escalators. It also eliminates internal vehicle traffic and allows the Campus to be opened up to neighbouring areas. With regard to the new research building, structured through a system of courtyards and squares, it will have an expandable area of 5,000 m2 and budget of €15 million.

The area earmarked for the construction of the new VHIR building is on the same plot as Vall d’Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus, where the hospital laundry (no longer in use) was located. For the construction of the new building, VHIR has been granted part funding by the European Union, through the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund). They will provide 50% of the capital required. The rest will be co-financed by foundations, private companies and private individuals.

The Vall d’Hebron Research Institute has grown constantly since it was first founded. Up until now, this growth has not been accompanied by the corresponding infrastructure. As a result, the more than 1,400 people who currently work at the VHIR are spread across different buildings on Vall d’Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus. The new building will bring together this talent and give them the infrastructure to allow them to enhance their competitiveness and excellence.

The new VHIR building is a project that solves a current situation, but above all it does this while also thinking about the future and about knowledge transfer. To enhance this aspect, the new VHIR building will house a business centre, a key factor in the process of internationalisation of the Vall d'Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus, a meeting point for companies, investors and industries in the sector. It will also support our researchers in taking the step of transferring their knowledge through the creation of companies and by attracting biotech or pharmaceutical companies that wish to drive more of their activity in cooperation with our research groups. 

The VHIR is taking advantage of the chance to plan a new challenge: the creation of an Advanced Therapies and Biomedicine Centre, to lead innovative research on gene transfer, cell transplant and tissue engineering, at the same time ensuring their safe preclinical and clinical development, with the aim of making these types of treatment accessible to patients.

Talent attracts talent. That is why the new VHIR building has an area especially for dissemination and several spaces for teaching. It is vital to explain what researchers are doing, both to the scientific community and to society. New spaces to explain human stories of scientific progress. An incubator for knowledge in the service of society.

Campus Transformation Plan

The Campus Transformation Plan aims to govern the future growth and development of the hospital and the whole of the Vall d’Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus. It establishes the guidelines for the hospital’s evolution towards an environmentally sustainable healthcare model integrating care, training, research and innovation.

The future campus of Catalonia’s largest health centre will have more green spaces and will be open to the city. This is the proposal put forward by the BAAS and Espinet-Ubach studies project, winners of the architectural tender for the urban transformation of the Vall d'Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus.

The main goals of this urban plan from a care point of view are to:

  • Improve the separation of patient and professional routes
  • Separate outpatients from inpatients
  • Improve patient welcome and reception
  • Create more meeting areas for professionals
  • Adapt emergency spaces to patients

The Vall d’Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus transformation plan will change the layout of the environment, including, among others: recovering welcome and rest areas for patients, professionals and visitors; opening the campus up to the city; improving accessibility and mobility on-site; and decongestion of Campus surroundings.

The new building will have an area of 5,000 m2 extensible and a budget of EUR 15 million.
