Science and medicine continue to advance at an astonishing rate thanks to technological innovation. We have already seen digital health solutions that promise to transform patient care in our lifetime. While these advancements are indeed groundbreaking for the healthcare industry, there are still basic day-to-day care processes in hospitals across the country ripe for improvement by applying technology.
By focusing on improving daily workflow routines, hospitals can replace some legacy processes with more advanced and efficient care delivery processes. When looking for processes to improve, a good place to start is by reviewing practices related to labor, supplies and drugs – three of the most costly hospital expenses – and make changes that will help the organization improve operational efficiencies.
