Healthcare IT Today Interviews

The Quiet Hospital Unit and Other Benefits of an Open and Interoperable Communication Platform


Listen Later

Anyone who has been on a hospital ward, whether as clinician, patient, or visitor, has noticed the continual din of beeps and chirps—it can drive you crazy. It’s notable that one of the simple ways Rauland‘s communication system improves the hospital experience is to reduce noise by routing alerts quietly to the person who needs to handle them.

Another key benefit of using Rauland, according to Director of Product Management Joseph DeLisle, is that it checks the content of a call or alert and directs it to the right person. For instance, if the patient is just asking for a pillow, the call goes to a technician instead of a nurse. This relieves the nurses of trivial tasks and lets them “practice at the top of their licenses.”
Michelle Allen, Vice President and General Manager at Rauland, says that the emerging crisis in nurse burnout and resignations is caused partly by having new administrative burdens with inadequate support from IT systems. (She cites other factors as well, such as bigger workloads, sicker patients, and safety concerns.) Hospitals are always deploying new technologies, and these often increase the burden of recording and sharing data unless they are all integrated.
