Redundant Manual Tasks
A problem plaguing many understaffed hospital is the existence of redundant manual tasks in many of their department’s workflows. If your nurses have to manually input information into multiple points of entry, run med orders between departments, or even transcribe information from one form to another multiple times – they are losing work cycles.Your staff should be doing more important things, such as dispensing medications or making their rounds, not menial tasks that prevent them from delivering the best care possible.
Metabolyst helps alleviate these problems through front end automation. Our solutions take the non result enhancing elements out a departments workflow, allowing the staff to focus on what matters most – the quality of care.Incomplete Patient Information
Incomplete information influences the profitability and effectiveness of many departments. Any med order without all of the necessary information cannot be processed. This can lead to significant increases in execution time and a lower quality of care. Patients waiting on medicine or pain relief from the pharmacy, rescheduled or canceled appointments in Imaging Services and Radiology, and wasted resources for outpatient services can all be effectively reduced using a Metabolyst solution.Our healthcare solutions facilitate an information checking workflow, so you can make sure you have all the needed information on a patient before you need it. Metabolyst can also remove any need for a nurse, or the patient, to manually bring the information from department to department. The data can be passed automatically, removing or automating steps that can negatively impact the day’s timetable.
The result is increased quality of care, lower cost per procedure, and the opportunity to allow your staff to use their time more effectively.First Case of Day
First case of day issues plague various departments of the hospital, but have a greater effect on Outpatient Services and Surgery. These resources need to be prepped beforehand, and if the procedure does not go off on schedule, the room cannot easily be reset for another procedure. This also pushes back the rest of the day’s procedures, causing a domino effect in which your staff must either work overtime to correct or reschedule the appointments for another day. The latter response reduces the perceived quality of care, affecting the patients mood and willingness to co-operate.Our healthcare solutions facilitate an information checking workflow, so you can make sure you have all the needed information on a patient a couple of days before the procedure. That’s plenty of time fill in any incomplete information before it affects your schedule. Metabolyst can also remove any need for a nurse, or the patient, to manually bring the information from department to department. The data can be passed automatically, removing steps that can negatively impact the day’s timetable.
The result is increased quality of care, lower cost per procedure, and the opportunity to allow your staff to use their time more effectively.For more in depth information, review our Patient Access ROI case studies or our Pharmacy ROI case studies.
