Effective, efficient clinical workflows are the most critical – and most challenging – processes to achieve in healthcare. Many clinical workflows remain inefficient due in part to siloed information, outdated technology, disparate systems, and a lack of integrated communication and collaboration. This blog defines efficient clinical workflows and their ability to drive better patient care.
Accurate and real-time communication across healthcare providers is critical to patient safety and care. Clinical communication and collaboration platforms offer providers the tools necessary to quickly identify and address risks, improve continuity of care, and increase the overall quality of service to patients.
Many clinical workflows remain inefficient due in part to siloed information, use of outdated technology, disparate systems, and a lack of integrated communication and collaboration. The ability to place orders, communicate with providers, give patient and family updates, review labs, and send images on the same platform significantly improves workflows.
