Healthcare delivery and health management have always been communication intensive. Enabling the demand for real-time communication and collaboration is the growing use of personally owned mobile devices by healthcare professionals who have become accustomed to easy to use communication and collaboration tools in their personal lives and see the potential value of using these tools with colleagues and care teams to improve the quality, cost, and experience of care. As healthcare professionals become increasingly connected via their lightweight mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, and convertibles),real-time communication and collaboration is feasible.
This IDC Health Insights white paper, sponsored by Imprivata, presents key findings of interviews with three healthcare IT executives at Atlantic Health System, Carolinas Pathology Group, and Beaufort Memorial Hospital regarding the deployment of Imprivata Cortext, a secure communications platform. Consistent findings across the three healthcare organizations are as follows: ease of use leads to quick clinician adoption, there is broad application of secure communication across various hospital workflows, and instant communication can save time for care team members and can improve collaboration.
Read this report to learn more about how these organizations streamlined clinical workflows such as patient admission notifications, specialist referrals, pathology consultations and code team activations.
