Businesses and organizations shouldn’t simply rely on monitoring tools for security management. Such tools don’t provide redundancies, time-stamped audit trails and other elements needed for incident resolution. Also, security threats are rampant and tend to go unchecked even with the most reliable monitoring service. That’s why companies require critical alerting to become aware of security incidents and immediately solve them for business continuity.
Miscommunication isn’t just about the frustration that ensues when direction isn’t followed or understood by colleagues. For the healthcare industry, miscommunication could mean the loss of billions of dollars and endangering the lives of patients. That’s why physicians must implement a clinical communication solution to avoid the risks associated with poor, care team collaboration methods.
Gone are the days when a patient could go into a healthcare facility and only see one physician from start to finish. Today, care teams are replacing the traditional approach to healthcare. These newer models are more patient-centered and include “Teamlets ” and “Family Team Care ” as part of their approach. In order for these new models to be effective, they not only need changes in resources but also require a change in the way they communicate.
Statistics published by the Journal of Hospital Medicine in July 2017 show that despite the persistent campaign to educate the healthcare community about the problematic nature of pagers and unsecured messaging, both continue to be popular technologies.
Managing alert noise from monitoring systems like SolarWinds can be tricky and failing to order the noise can cause: Alert fatigue, Decreased MTTR, Missed alerts.
Your incident management process is greatly impacted by the tools you have available. And technology is key when it comes to gaining visibility and obtaining contextual data. You need tools to send alerts when incidents arise, as well as track activity for compliance reporting purposes. Whether you’re in healthcare, information technology or work at a small MSP – you need a robust incident management platform that gives you results and helps mitigate MTTR.
Antiquated pieces of technology create setbacks in every industry, and in healthcare – it’s the pager! Pagers are still being used even though they’re not HIPAA compliant and the infrastructure supporting them is dying out. That’s why doctors and healthcare personnel alike need an advanced way to communicate and protect patient information. Here are six reasons to think of pager replacement options.
