Watch a Video from the HIMSS 2011 Conference
Healthcare providers understand that diagnoses, treatments and the overall patient experience are dependent upon the organizational processes and the accuracy of the information that is available to physicians and clinicians. Today, there is broad interest in accelerating the adoption of modernized healthcare IT systems to save costs, reduce medical errors and improve the quality of healthcare in America. Healthcare providers can make the most of their technology investments by applying the Microsoft technologies they already own to streamline organizational processes, improve records and reporting, reduce costs, and find new sources of revenue. PointBridge can help your organization to:
IMPROVE PRACTICE PERFORMANCE
For the first time ever, cost-effective business intelligence tools are available to help organizations of all sizes monitor performance, analyze results and plan for the future. Familiar Microsoft technologies can help your organization to:
• Analyze trends to identify growing areas of patient need and support investments in medical technology
• Understand business results by tracking key performance indicators for groups, departments and teams
• Improve staffing models with labor analytics that can help your organization take the guesswork out of staffing
• Geospatial analyses that can help analyze potential facility locations and shed light on patient demographics
IDENTIFY AND ATTRACT NEW PATIENTS
As medical networks expand, patients have more healthcare choices. Patients actively use the Internet to research their options and in many areas the competition for new patients is fierce. PointBridge can help your group or hospital to:
• Differentiate your brand online and create a favorable online impression and an outstanding online experience
• Stay in touch with clients by giving patients a reason to return to your site with premium content, online subscriptions, and relationship-building tools such as newsletters
ENHANCE THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE
Patient care can dramatically improve when the right information reaches the right people at the right time. PointBridge can help your team to:
• Improve medical records management and decrease paper files with solutions that are easily integrated with leading Electronic Medical Records software systems – including Epic, McKesson and Cerner
• Advance patient, doctor, technician, and staff communication - allow doctors to interface with existing, familiar systems without disrupting their daily workflow; make available content and information to patients and staff in a Web interface tailored to their information processing needs.
• Automate standard processes, such as the patient discharge process, to ensure all procedures are followed in a timely, and accurate, fashion
• Transcribe notes more quickly using time-saving speech server technology that eliminates “the middle man” and improves convenience
• Augment patient self service to help patients find the information and forms they need online increasing patient satisfaction while decreasing costs
For healthcare providers who currently use Epic or other Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems, PointBridge has developed a solution to integrate with SharePoint to provide a robust reporting and analysis tool.
The solutions described above can be created with Microsoft technologies including SharePoint and Office Communications Server. If your organization uses Microsoft products, it’s likely that these are technologies your organization already owns and are familiar to your staff. We’ll help you use the technologies that you already own in new ways that will dramatically improve the operations and the patient experience.
We believe in the ability of technology to improve the quality of healthcare in America. Contact PointBridge today to learn how to make the most of your technology investments.
