Easy Hospital Technology Improves Patient Care, Communication and Revenue

Written by General Devices | Mar 10, 2023 5:15:09 PM

Without easy hospital technology, patient care can become complicated due to miscommunication, missing details, and unnecessarily repeated tests. The process becomes even harder when the hospital is unprepared for EMS arrival. These issues can interfere with patient satisfaction and increase costs in various areas.   

Why Easy Hospital Technology is Important

Easy technology encourages effective communication and coordination in hospitals, ensuring the emergency department and specialty teams are ready for ambulance arrivals. It prevents treatment delays, reduces operating costs, and decreases medical errors. Having simple to use solutions helps to improve team buy-in and ensure that processes are standardized and efficient throughout the emergency department which improves patient care.  Easy hospital technology should be highly configurable and easy to use, providing data-rich information to all medical personnel. This ensures real-time communication, improving patient satisfaction and revenue while saving lives and time.

How Easy Technology helps Hospitals: 

Health systems can use e-Bridge Communication Platform for quicker patient hand-off and efficient real-time communication between EMS teams and the ED. It can improve case management and allow physicians to be virtually present at the trauma scene. GD’s scalable and configurable technology allows for treating a patient in place or using an alternate destination. 

The CAREpoint workstation helps prepare hospital staff for incoming patients from EMS. It makes the patient hand-off quicker, allowing for faster time-to-treatment, and offers data and voice logging, recording, and reporting through D-Scribe X. This communication solution leads to cost savings on documentation, activations, and consolidation. The innovative technology minimizes hardware obsolescence and is easy to use with touch-screen controls.   

Another easy technology for hospitals is the D-Scribe X Intelligence hub. Included with CAREpoint and e-Bridge, it helps retrieve and share call information, including voice and data logging and recording. This feature protects hospitals and EMS from legal issues by providing proof of treatment refusals and documentation.
