3 Ways Increasing Healthcare Communication Ensures Smoother Workflows

As noted in previous studies, improving communication in the modern hospital protects quality care by ensuring that workers can reach people any time, anywhere in the hospital. Without effective communication systems between nurses, doctors, administrators, and patients, workflows may become compromised by blindspots and overlooked errors. For example, medical errors stemming from communication gaps, negligence, and worker stress have been cited as the 3rd leading cause of death in the US. Furthermore, the Joint Commission found that  70% of medical errors are attributable to communication breakdowns. To improve communication, the healthcare industry is investing in mobility solutions. By integrating clinical mobility, hospitals can improve staff communication, make real-time access to medical records possible and ensure faster availability of lab results. Mobile devices enable nurses to spend more time at the patient’s bedside. Over 65% of nurse managers and IT executives cite improved communication and collaboration as the primary benefit of clinical mobility in patient care.
