Overhaul Your Communications System No matter what you decide, it's important to engage the entire hospital in the secure communications system conversation because it's something that affects your organization enterprise-wide. Without buy-in across the hospital, a new secure messaging or communications system can create more problems than solutions it was designed to solve.
RTLS for the Win: Keys to Success for Capacity Planning Several recent studies have confirmed what hospital administrators and IT managers already know: almost three fourths of American hospitals experience capacity challenges (excessive wait times, diversions, ED patients leaving without treatment, transfer declines) - even when they aren't actually full.
Technology Lets Staff Bring Patient Service Back Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing - in this age of buzzwords like patient engagement and patient-centeredness - to be able to restore a bit of that human touch to your practice? You can, by relying on a surprising tool: technology. The idea that technology dehumanizes the clinical side of medicine is much-debated. But in front offices, technology clearly has the potential to do exactly the opposite, by enabling staff to provide much better service and offering more convenience.
Achieving Compliance Through Real-Time Location Systems Today's hospitals face an increasingly complex healthcare environment. Administrators and IT managers alike must work together to identify new and novel ways to reduce the labor burden associated with meeting governmental compliance and protecting the organization's The Joint Commission (TJC) accreditation. I
Five Ways to Avoid Clinical Communication Disaster Each year, The Joint Commission publishes sentinel event data by root cause.

As the healthcare industry embraces value-based care, hospitals and other provider organizations are relying on digitization to better follow patients through their healthcare journey -- and recoup each and every reimbursement dollar.

Focus on these neglected areas: staffing, business overhead, and payer contracts. Gains made in the areas of staffing, overhead, and payer reimbursements can contribute to more effective recruitment and retention as well as boost financial performance in the long run.

There are 3 types of search. Please only use one option at a time.
1) Build a boolean search string.
Ensure that document matches include...
2) Search for a phrase:
3) Search on part of a word:
Information on how to use Search
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
AND example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
OR example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
NOT example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.
