Maximizing Technologies to Reduce Risks and Increase Compliance

Description

Facilities, security and operations professionals can turn to sophisticated technology innovations that integrate and unify complex systems for fast, accurate and cost-effective monitoring of activities and practices across the entire health care system enterprise. Current information on these technology advances can help staff make informed decisions on implementing cost-effective measures that adhere to the exacting and stringent health and safety protocols for staff and patients while scaling solutions to fit an expanding footprint as new structures are built in high-growth markets. These advances can help:
• Proactively identify potential warning signs to help prevent workplace violence.
• Locate wandering patients with analytics that can quickly notify patient care staff and can also trigger video location.
• Help protect infants and at-risk children from potential abduction while helping ensure patient safety.
• Monitor staff hygiene practices.
• Address workflow inefficiencies that impact the bottom line.
• Monitor/track patient throughput.
• Comply with Joint Commission standards.
• Improve HCAHPS scores.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify potential new or evolving risks and describe how innovative technologies can serve the entire enterprise.
• Adopt fresh information on cutting-edge solutions to enhance existing systems or replace outdated technologies.
• Address common areas of concern to health care facilities through implementation of integrated video management/access control systems and other advanced electronic fire, life safety and security enhancement and risk mitigation technologies.
