The Centre Hospitalier de Péronne (CH Péronne) hospital complex is located in the French department of the Somme.
The hospital, which operates numerous services including an ER, has 348 patient beds and spaces. The CH Péronne employs 72 practitioners and 513 non-medical staff that handle the 8000 hospitalizations, 80,000 consultations and 14,000 visits to the ER each year.
Thanks to Etit and its partner Resadia, who holds the UGAP contract for telephony systems with Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, the hospital benefited from commercial terms that helped optimize its budget.
Challenges

- In addition, the nurses needed to increase their onsite mobility while remaining reachable by patients at all times.
- The CH Péronne required a scalable system that could support its participation in the planned grouping of, and network interconnection with, regional health facilities to better serve residents.
