5 Reasons It's Time to Automate ... read on!
Is the traditional process of paper rounding still weighing you down? Is your current
rounding process still falling short with functionality or not meeting your goals? Even in this
digital world, many organizations are still using paper to complete rounds.
Whether it is Environment of Care, Life Safety, Patient Safety, or Patient Experience, rounding
on paper is risky since it is not timely, it is easily lost, and risks exposing confidential data.
Here are 5 practical reasons to consider moving from paper to digital rounding ….
#1 Time Savings
Pen and Paper take twice as long and it’s unreliable. Automated rounding allows for ease of
response, accuracy, and tracks issues through completion so that no item is overlooked.
THE RESULT: Adoption and Engagement
#2 Transparent Hospital Communications
Digital solutions allow for easier access to data and timely communications. Performing
rounds and tracking deficiencies provides visibility and accountability.
THE RESULT: Improved Employee and Patient Satisfaction
#3 Closed-Loop Communications
Once a deficiency is detected, it needs to be addressed and corrected so it is not repeated.
With an automated workflow, you can optimize your resources, increase efficiencies, and close the loop.
THE RESULT: Continuous Process Improvement
#4 Mobility and Productivity
Caregivers need to be on the patient floor to complete rounds. Using laptops, iPads,
tablets or smartphones, team members can complete rounds while in the field without
the shuffling of papers, without losing data, and without risking exposure of PHI.
THE RESULT: Accurate data and Increased Productivity
#5 Measure Performance
With digital tools to analyze data, managers can determine program effectiveness, identify areas
for improvement and take corrective action … boosting higher HCAHPS scores,
improving Leapfrog grades, or meeting accreditations goals.
THE RESULT: Improved Satisfaction and Regulatory Compliance
