The Power of a Press of a Button

The Problem
There are routine, time-consuming processes that waste more time when they require follow-up.  For example, a nurse needs to call a physician for final orders...time passes...patient and family members wait...another call is made.

The Solution
In many of our hospitals nurses will touch a button in the patient's room - doctor's orders - and the physician is paged.  When the physician arrives in the room, it cancels the call and this time stamped event is recorded in the reports.  How many phone calls and return phone calls would this save?

The Solution Extended
Now multiply this by any number of manual processes you may have in place.

• Code Pink - alerts the infant abduction team, or infant respiratory team
• Admit - alerts bed control that the physician has written an order to admit the patient
• Lab - alerts the phlebotomist that a draw is needed in the room
• RAD - alerts radiology that a portable chest x-ray is needed in the ED

Keeping it Simple
By conducting a thorough needs assessment, we will help you identify processes that you would like to measure or see improved.  We can convert these processes or alerts into a button press for your staff.  This can generate an alert to any number of staff:  RN, Aide, PCT, Environmental Services, Transport, Admitting, ED, and so on.  This can start a process that is now measurable and verifiable.  Having concrete data helps managers and administrators to make more informed decisions.

Customizing the Message
We can have over 250 different types of processes customized to any one site.  Measure, track, and alert only on those processes that is needed for that unit, department, or facility.  We can have the button be color coded to your desires and translated to any language to fit your needs.

Processes Change
We also understand that processes develop over time. As your organization changes, we will change with you.  Our processes are re-programmable via the software and our buttons can be fashioned with an updated custom overlay at any time.
