Providing quick, reliable, and versatile communications systems is critical in reducing costs, improving access to care, and maximizing the efficiency of healthcare staff. A recent study, “Equipped for Efficiency: Improving Nursing Care Through Technology,”* showed nurses may take up to 58 minutes per day walking to the nurses’ station to answer the phone or to check on the status of a pharmacy/lab order. This travel time consumes nearly three extra minutes per patient. This research has also shown that a mere 31% of a nurse’s time may be spent with patients because of similar inefficiencies. Often, hospitals may not be able to turn beds as quickly because of discharge order delays and/or instructions from attending physicians.

Victims of traumatic events such as stroke may not have immediate access to specialists because of their geographic location. Rural hospitals may spend increasing amounts on patient transportation for evaluations/tests in other facilities. Our HealthDynamix professionals can work with your organization to evaluate the variety of voice, data, and video applications available to address these needs. As the need for care rises and the shortage of qualified doctors and nurses grows, it will be vital to deploy a robust communications infrastructure that provides solutions with simplicity.  Our specialists can work with you to develop the right options to address these needs.

Our HealthDynamix team has the necessary reseller authorizations, technology architects, and implementation services team to work with your organization when selecting/deploying a unified communications, point video, data and voice solution.

Unified Communication

Unified Communication (UC) represents a cohesive framework and strategy for how an organization facilitates the interaction of its associates with external partners and customers. UC is a progressive strategy that involves messaging systems, presence, voice, portals, and conferencing – becoming integrated and focused toward the job your employees are accomplishing. The HealthDynamix team can assess your current systems/investments and help build a unified communication roadmap that progressively enhances how you utilize technology (directly and indirectly) in patient care.   

Video Services

Video services can greatly enhance person-to-person communication, tele-medicine, interpretation, and education in healthcare organizations. It is often unclear how to deploy such a comprehensive solution without significantly increasing the burden of support or the complexity for the end-user. Recent initiatives and grants supported by the Federal Government highlight the need to utilize these newer technologies to reduce costs and improve the quality and access to care. Our HealthDynamix specialists can work with you to identify your organization’s proper evaluation options, and arrange pilot programs to ensure a successful solution selection. 

Wireless Communication

Hospital personnel are mobile and pushed for time when providing care or indirectly supporting care providers. Having realtime data and the ability to utilize voice communications, regardless of location, is essential for productivity and efficiency. Many organizations struggle with the reliability and performance of their current voice systems, wireless networks, and handheld devices. A comprehensive strategy to deliver these services, provide interfaces to critical applications, and manage these devices as an extension of the computing infrastructure is essential for providers. Let our team of specialists work with you to create a customized strategy.
