Benefits of connectivity
Communication is key when working in healthcare. The health and wellbeing of patients depends on your team’s ability to positively collaborate.
While there are a few personal attributes that can help in this area — active listening and open communication being two key characteristics — healthcare facilities also benefit from technology that facilitates connectivity.
Teams that are kept well connected will typically:
- Experience improved collaboration.
- Provide better patient care.
- Make better use of resources and technology.
How to keep your healthcare facility connected
There are many ways in which you can keep your healthcare facility connected.
When we talk about staying connected, it’s not just between medical professionals. A significant part of providing quality patient care is providing patients themselves with the ability to call upon clinicians when required.
For example, nurse call systems are a common feature of many hospital and aged care settings. Patients who are bed bound often feel helpless or as though they have no way of communicating their symptoms and concerns. Technology that facilitates patient engagement — be it via audio or visual means — is an integral part of a connected workplace.
Connected technologies can also help keep your healthcare facility safe and secure. Protecting staff, patients, and visitors is a top concern for healthcare managers. Fortunately, there is a range of devices available that serve this purpose.
CCTV can be used to track patients and residents, whilst specially designed technology has the capacity to visually detect any number of dangerous situations, including trips and falls, aggression, and violence.
Finally, access control systems are a common security feature of many healthcare facilities. The ability to control what areas of a facility personnel, visitors, and patients are able to enter can assist protect all individuals while also making it easier to respond to emergency situations.
