Why Do Hospital's Need Medical Device Connectivity?
Today, patient care is more complex than ever before. Patient to nurse ratio is higher. Technological developments require nurses to learn more. Hospitals are rapidly requiring that all patient data be in the EMR. And, patient safety is at the forefront of nearly every hospital's initiatives.
When hospitals don’t have device connectivity, nurses are even more strained because they are spending more time documenting data, less time caring for patients. In the ICU the challenge is even greater because patients are connected to multiple medical devices and the nurse needs to chart more frequently. Med-surg is equally challenging because nurses are facing increased patient workload and rising patient acuity. Manual transcription and entry into the EMR is simply not the best use of nursing time; especially when there is another option – medical device connectivity.
Medical device connectivity improves workflow because data from connected devices is AUTOMATICALLY sent to the EMR. Device connectivity simply allows nurses to focus on what they do best – care for their patients. And there’s more. Device connectivity does more than just save nursing hours. It also:
- Increases staff productivity
- Eliminates medical transcription errors
- Leverages the existing EMR investment and
- Improves overall patient care and safety
