Sounding the Alarm

This year’s Hospital National Patient Safety Goals from the Joint Commission include improvement of hand cleaning among healthcare providers as well as consistent use of proven guidelines to prevent infection of the blood from central lines and urinary tract infections caused by catheters.

Value-based care is centered on boosting patient safety and driving overall efficiency while simultaneously pushing for operational advancement without sacrificing quality of care. One major focus of the transition to value-based care is addressing and preventing adverse events that can impact patient safety, clinical outcomes, reimbursements and, thus, the bottom line.

By creating a constant flow of information and communication between providers and patients, and documenting all patient encounters, nurse call systems address common disparities to help healthcare organizations achieve value-based care.

Among the goals outlined for hospital personnel is the delivery of important test results to the right staff person on time.

In recognition of the Center for Patient Safety’s “Patient Safety Awareness Week” March 8-14, we aim to highlight how Rauland Responder technology aligns with many of the Joint Commission’s 2020 Hospital National Patient Safety Goals.

To address these disparities, health facilities often turn to advanced nurse call systems to support their quality initiatives and strengthen clinical, operational and financial outcomes.

Safety measures incorporating intelligent nurse call can help benefit:
• Residents, with less pain and fewer infections
