CURRENT CHALLENGES

Addressing health worker burnout
Indicates that nurses spend, on average, about 40% of their shift performing documentation. The amount of documentation required by nurses leads to increased overtime and burnout. (The U.S. Surgeon General’s Advisory on Building a Thriving Health Workforce).
A lower length of stay is a primary financial performance driver
Because patients are able to move through the hospital more efficiently and lower unnecessary costs (Kaufman Hall, 2024). Patient stays can be extended for a variety of reasons, including inefficient discharge processes, staff shortages, miscommunications and lack of post-acute beds for patients who can’t be discharged.
In addition to documentation load
Healthcare teams face fragmented systems, workforce shortages, and pressure to deliver hybrid care. Clinicians need smart workflows that synchronize across EHR, telehealth, and AI-assisted tools.
Bedboard bottlenecks in healthcare
Are often caused by outdated workflows leading to delays in patient care and patient satisfaction. Transfer center workflows can be cumbersome and inefficient when care teams rely on antiquated communication methods like faxes and paging services.
