Reducing the Disruptive and Inefficient Nature of Clinical Communication on the Medical Ward
FY 2009-10
Summary
Day-to-day communication in our hospital environment is currently facilitated by outdated pager technology that leads to disruptions and inefficiencies that impact the timeliness and quality of care provided to patients. Our clinicians coordinate the care of patients with multiple complex conditions but are not provided with the tools necessary to effectively communicate with one another. The purpose of this project is to utilize up to date technology to improve how physicians, nurses, and allied health staff communicate and manage day-to-day activities of patient care. This research will help ensure our clinicians have the necessary tools required to communicate effectively, which will enhance the quality of care provided to our patients and reduce inefficiencies that create a financial burden on the healthcare system
