Interbit Data for Clinical Success

Increase your efficiency to deliver better, more consistent patient care and ensure patient safety

When critical patient information is not available in a timely manner, patient treatment slows. Clinicians require that patient information is available at both the hospital bedside and their offices when they need it. If the flow of information is hampered by manual processes or the lack of system availability, clinicians are unable to respond appropriately to patients’ needs.

Patient treatment is also impacted when a nurse shortage, under- and over-staffing and staff scheduling errors occur. Ensuring your organization is properly staffed is required of all hospitals to deliver a high level of patient care.

Interbit Data offers software that helps maintain the quality of patient care by addressing the challenges of accessing up-to-date patient information and ensuring critical care departments are staffed appropriately.

Addressing the challenges of information and staff availability with effective solutions

The information access and efficient staff scheduling that healthcare organizations need to maintain quality patient care is offered by Interbit Data’s solutions in the following categories:

Report Distribution:

• Eliminate paper-based processes – reducing the steps needed to maintain the flow of information and improving the accessibility of up-to-date information.
• Speed the distribution and access of information – helping to improve workflow and responsiveness to patients.
• Automate communications processes across departments – freeing up staff time for more patient-focused tasks.
• Integrate patient information into physicians’ EMR systems – ensuring clinicians have a complete medical record for all patients.
• Assist in addressing requirements for “Meaningful Use” – to take advantage of funding offered by the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

Business Continuance – Complying with Requirements for Electronic Records Availability During Downtime:

• Ensure critical patient information is available in the event of system downtime or failure – making certain clinicians have the information they need for treating their patients.
• End the daily printing of electronic MARs, master patient indexes, blood bank transfusion logs and other critical reports and documents – eliminating the need to rely on hard-copy reports that are possibly outdated.
• Maintain the distribution and access of information across the organization – continuing the uninterrupted delivery of patient care.

Workforce Scheduling:

• Ensure the appropriate clinical staff skills are available based on the patient needs – increasing patient safety and satisfaction.
• Relieve nurse managers of the administrative burden of manual scheduling – making them available to oversee and assist with patient care.
• Ensure the appropriate number of clinical staff members are scheduled – diminishing the risks of under-staffing.
• Track staff members’ certifications and credentials – complying with JCAHO standards and state regulations and avoiding the risk of liability.
• Provide nursing staff with workable schedules that meet their needs – creating a more pleasant work environment while reducing staff turnover.
