Every day you face the same challenge: how to improve the overall quality of patient care while lowering associated costs. One of the easiest solutions is improving access to critical patient information at the point of care. In order to provide the highest quality of care, physicians need instant access to a wealth of diagnostic information-charts, digital images, test results, lab work, and more. Nurses need to quickly find patient records and make live updates as medications and other treatments are administered. Plus, there are patient-consent forms and releases that must be processed as quickly as possible. By implementing fixed and mobile solutions to better facilitate the flow of information at the point of care, you can speed diagnosis, deliver faster treatment, and enable your staff to care for more patients in less time. You'll improve both quality and quantity of care, making it easier to provide ROI justification for new equipment. Point-of-care solutions include a broad range of technologies: everything from diagnostic-quality monitors and handheld PCs used in your facilities, to remote terminals and imaging equipment for ongoing care of patients once they return home. Tablet PCs replace paper forms with digital versions that can upload signatures and data directly and accurately-right from the bedside. Previously time-consuming tasks, like retaking histories, can be reduced or eliminated by point-of-care solutions that provide secure, reliable access to patients' EMRs. HealthConnection can help you identify and implement point-of-care solutions for your specialty.
