Technological Innovations To Promote Patient Safety, Engagement10/13/2015
In recent years, clinicians and hospitals have paid increasing attention to safety in the care experience and avoidance of preventable adverse events (PAEs). Of course, the practice of medicine is both an art and a science, and is thus subject to human error. But with a “product” as critical and as delicate as human health, a commitment to the prevention of error — and to adopting the necessary tools to be successful — must be a top priority. Lessons from the industry may be helpful to those of us in the healthcare community. Smart businesses, such as manufacturing operations, have an obligation to mitigate risk of error. More than nine out of ten workplace accidents are the result of human error, so companies often rely on systems processes — essentially, checklists based on best practices — to establish safety protocols.

And with that fresh start comes budget discussions. The goal of every business is to minimize spending and maximize revenue, so often times budget conversations center around areas where practices can decrease costs. In the healthcare world, it can be difficult to justify increasing costs with new technology when practice margins are tight. But sometimes the right patient relationship management (PRM) technology can make a big impact on the bottom line and be well worth the investment, as it quickly pays for itself in increased visits and improved efficiency.
