Mitigate Communication Breakdowns in VA Healthcare Facilities to Improve Patient Flow for a Better Patient Experience

August 31, 2010
12:00 Noon Eastern / 11:00 AM Central / 10:00 AM Mountain / 9:00 AM Pacific

Communication breakdowns in hospitals are a major cause for sentinel events. Veterans Affairs hospitals, like most care facilities, primarily rely on multiple, inefficient tools for communications including pagers, overhead paging, and desk phones. With the deployment of an instant communications solution, healthcare workers have more time with patients, experience better patient flow, and create a better patient experience for veterans and their families. In this one-hour webinar you will learn how communications systems restore the human connection to healthcare with instant communication at the critical points of care.
