Ridgefield, NJ - November 29, 2023: Communication can always be complex, particularly inside a hospital when patients need to be passed between so many different team members. This creates room for miscommunication and errors between healthcare teams, when a patient’s information isn’t stored and shared accurately.
This was the case for Jackson-Madison County Hospital in Jackson, Tennessee. With outdated systems and processes, there was a large amount of wasted time going back and forth for each patient, resulting in frustrated patients, higher wait times, and burnt out staff. And without proper documentation around each patient, going back to review specific patient cases was a big challenge.
“To put it into perspective, it was only a few years ago that we were back in the stone age using pagers. We’re in rural West Tennessee and a lot of the time our teams didn’t even receive the page. We were further wasting resources calling team members after the face to make sure everyone received the correct page” - Dallas Griggs, Executive Director of Heart and Vascular
