The surge of technology initially impacted the entertainment industry, particularly seen in including gaming systems, computers and electronic devices. Today, however, it seems that every industry has begun to join forces with this revolution as it leads a new generation, one where healthcare and technology work collectively to advance further in the field,.
Emerge.MD’s Consult Accelerator solution, a suite of online integration tools that provide healthcare office services at anytime and from any device, has just been adopted by Arizona’s highest nationally-ranked hospitals –St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center.
With such a prestigious hospital incorporating real-time solutions like Emerge.MD’s Consult Accelerator, the industry is beginning its see just how effective they can be. With technology changing so quickly, and mobility accessibility becoming such an important function for the workplace, these solutions create many benefits for the healthcare industry.
According to The National Institute of Health, "Communication in the emergency department is a complex process where failure can lead to poor patient care, loss of information, delays and inefficiency," further highlighting how vital it is to have a functioning communications solution.
With the shortage of specialty care services in Arizona, the Emerge.MD’s Consult Accelerator solution is hoped to improve care and patient outcomes, along with the communication among its clinicians. It also delivers solutions for clinical needs like telestroke, online urgent cares, ED throughput, store and forwards referrals and patient communites.
"Consult Accelerator improves physician to physician communication and moves complex Emergency Call Calendars into current technology. Using Consult Accelerator for Emergency Call Calendars meets regulatory (CMS) requirements and provides reports for reimbursement and legal purposes. The potential of Consult Accelerator beyond Emergency Call Calendar use is limitless," said Joan Robley, director of Medical Staff Services.
These solutions like Emerge.MD’s Consult Accelerator have brought an entire new sphere of healthcare opportunities to the industry by offering solutions to problems, just like it had for Arizona’s hospital shortages.
As these solutions continue to develop and become incorporated into the healthcare industry, the problems that could once not be solved because of financial reasons will be replaced with solutions infused with technology. And with the money hospital’s save by using these solutions, the funds can be used towards another area like in cancer development to promote the health of people all over the country.
