Technology is constantly evolving, which means the response to clinical alarms needs to be more flexible than ever. Does your clinical alarm management solution effectively help reduce alarm fatigue and improve overall patient care?
While technology has improved many facets of the healthcare system, it has also changed how we schedule doctors. Now, it’s possible to use dedicated physician scheduling software to automatically schedule doctors such that better work-life balance is achieved, sufficient doctors are scheduled, and calendars can be automatically distributed.
Learn how healthcare organizations can improve metrics by utilizing the correct CC&C platform.
Although hospitals are embracing digital transformation of their clinical ecosystems, nurse call systems are hindered due to their heavy reliance on hardware. A new breed of software-first nurse call solutions seeks to innovate their offerings with flexible Clinical workflow, easy staff assignments, real-time analytics, and variable deployment strategies. This not only eases administration and serviceability but saves time, money and frustration.
In the latest episode of the PopHealth podcast, Dr. Will O’Connor, CMIO at TigerConnect, discusses why this is the case and how modern communication technology is imperative to address the challenges that are plaguing healthcare. He talks about the benefits of adopting a stand-alone, easy-to-use, secure communication solution and how it can truly transform patient care while reducing costs.
On-call scheduling can be complex for both hospitals and physician specialties. Although certain aspects of EMTALA were relaxed during COVID to manage the surge of patients, there were still incidents of enforcement actions against providers throughout 2020. As we emerge from the pandemic, hospitals will need to refine their approach to managing their on-call scheduling.
Clinical communication refers to the manner in which patient information is shared in a healthcare setting. There are many different methods — from email to phone calls to in-person meetings.
Building an ongoing vendor relationship, while it may not seem like a technical consideration, shows how data and analytics spark process improvements and greater ROI when selecting a CC&C solution.
Collaborative care refers to providers being able to discuss a patient’s care, treatment, and outcome. For instance, sharing test results among physicians, nurses, and other providers is critical to successful collaborative care. Of course, this sharing of information must be done securely and consistently.
