Fulfilling your mission means helping your clinical teams make smart decisions as they provide what’s increasingly complex care. It also calls for boosting staff effectiveness and efficiency, so you can enhance responsiveness to patients while optimizing available resources.
With nurses, physicians, pharmacists, and specialists all interacting with patients across the continuum, information must be gathered from numerous sources and shared with multiple clinicians.
COVID-19, an older patient population, more comorbidities, and other factors means you need to build strong treatment plans, one that requires your clinical team to uncover—and understand--a variety of factors. This situation underscores the growing importance of more effective research and critical thinking skills.
Today’s patients are taking an active role in their health and want to make shared decisions with their care teams, generating more questions in your team members’ minds per patient encounter–about treatment plans, drugs to prescribe, and so on.
The care experience could become disjointed and inconsistent.
You could put patients on the wrong diagnostic path–leading to undesirable outcomes.
You could open the door to decreased patient satisfaction and malpractice concerns, which could also impact your ability to recruit and retain residents and clinical staff.
Rather than searching for information across multiple sources, you need a single source of relevant, evidence-based content that’s tailored to all your clinicians’ questions and learning requirements.
But to enhance clinical practice through informed, confident decisions–and support better outcomes and more profitable care–you must first overcome a few important challenges. Choose which one matters most to your organization to learn how best to address it.
