Improving patient care through anytime, anywhere collaborative communications
Your provider organization faces continuing resource shortages yet is pressured to improve quality of care and responsiveness—all while handling an increasing number of patients. To meet these challenges, you need tools that increase productivity, streamline team communications, and provide fast, secure access to patient information. Managing multiple and increasingly disparate and costly communications systems, such as WiFi, pager, cellular and telephony, can impact the efficiency of clinicians and caregivers, delaying responses to patients and increasing administrative burdens. And because your staff may rely on verbal and written processes that do not support optimal care coordination, the risk of basing decisions on incomplete or incorrect information grows, potentially leading to compromised patient care, medical errors and patient dissatisfaction.
IBM Mobility and Wireless Services – enterprise mobility offers healthcare providers virtually anywhere, anytime access to vital resources and to medical information across clinical operations, helping your team to be more productive and responsive through the following capabilities:
- Consolidation of wireless communication networks, devices and paging/telephony systems
- Real-time location services for tracking key personnel and equipment and ensuring the physical safety of patients and clinicians
- Wireless medical-grade networks that provide a robust and secure foundation for key communication and tracking applications
- Instant wireless communication access to and collaboration with key team members
- Event-driven, real-time notification and patient care alerts intelligently routed to appropriate user
Real-time access to patient information and more meaningful collaboration between clinicians and caregivers helps you make timelier and more accurate patient assessments and informed care decisions. Intelligent event notification and text messaging capabilities along with a single wireless network for data, voice and video allow your clinical and administrative teams to access current medical updates from hospital systems and to rapidly communicate and interact with each other. By leveraging the benefits of an integrated wireless IT and communications network within your facility, your clinical staff can more effectively and efficiently provide patient care while reducing risk, and your IT staff faces fewer integration tasks and reliability issues, all with greater cost-effectiveness and improved patient satisfaction.
