Collaboration Requires Communication
A lack of communication or even a gap in communication can be a very dangerous occurrence in a healthcare setting. But even when a situation is not that serious, a lack of communication can still have negative consequences. When staff members are not working cohesively, patients notice that and absorb the stress of the environment. This is the last thing someone needs when dealing with a medical issue. Nevertheless, there are simple and affordable solutions to mitigate these communication gaps. JTECH’s SmartAlert® messaging system is a flexible system used to integrate and unify communication efforts in a healthcare setting. Using StaffComm™ push button doctor paging, for example, messages can be sent out to key personnel on silent pagers at precisely the right time and at the touch of a button. StaffComm is ideal for the many repetitive tasks that occur in any hospital or other healthcare environments. One of the nicest and most practical things about using wireless paging is the noise reduction that results from elimination of overhead paging. When using the discreet and silent vibration alerts, patients are not repeatedly jarred by overhead disturbances and distractions. In addition, patient and staff privacy is improved because messages are directed to the staff member that needs the information. Whether paging just one person or a whole group, StaffComm will get your message out quickly and efficiently.
Communication is only as valuable as what someone can do with the information. That’s why it’s imperative that communication be direct, detailed, and actionable. All of the above are achievable with a JTECH SmartAlert doctor paging system. Whether needing to communicate about an exam room that requires preparation or about a patient requiring special assistance to their car, StaffComm puts the right people at your fingertips. By working within and across departments, your healthcare facility is better positioned to provide top-notch medical care. And of course, StaffComm is a HIPAA compliant wireless messaging solution, so your patients’ rights and privacy are always protected.
