One of my mentors once coined the phrase, "None of us is as smart as all of us". This simple statement proposes the notion that as a team, people can accomplish more by working together than they can as individuals. However, this also means that the team must work collaboratively and in concert with one another in order to capitalize on each other's strengths. Failure to work as a team in a cooperative manner can result in frustration, mistakes, lost productivity, and poor moral.
With a focus on patient-centred care and pay-for-value reimbursements, hospitals are searching for solutions to help move the needle on patient outcomes and satisfaction.
Read our latest infographic, 5 Ways Clinical Mobility Can Help Move the Needle on Patient Outcomes, to learn how Spectralink clinical mobile devices streamline workflows, improve clinical decision support and enhance patient care.
Today marks the conclusion of National Nurses Week – and the 196th birthday of Florence Nightingale. While Ms. Nightingale forever changed how nursing is practiced, Spectralink realizes that nurses change people’s lives every day. So we asked our employees if they remember a particular nurse who personally touched their lives or those of their families.
Whether they are on the front lines of a hospital emergency room, conducting health screenings for children at a local elementary school, or visiting the homebound as part of hospice care, nurses improve people’s lives every single day.
When Voalte started putting smartphones in hospitals seven years ago, the ability to send and receive text messages to coordinate patient care was a game-changer. Suddenly, caregivers could communicate quickly, see when their messages were received, and send urgent updates to an entire group or unit. And they could do so over a secure network on a secured device, without the compliance concerns inherent in using their own personal smartphones.
That was then.
We are honored to be supporting some of our Application, Integration, and Management Solutions (AIMS) partners in their upcoming events in the next few months. Connexall, Spōk, and Voalte are each hosting events with Spectralink as a sponsor:
At any modern healthcare facility, the quality of care is paramount. Patient outcomes are often directly tied to healthcare professionals’ collective ability to work efficiently and effectively, and communication within these facilities is the foundation to achieving a higher standard of care.
