Nurse This - How TigerText Saves Organizations Nearly $28,000 Per Day

Often times, to get a hold of doctors, nurses rely on overhead paging or direct phone calls to reach staff, but with so much going on at once – patients coming and going, physicians moving from room to room, and administrators facilitating patient admins and discharges – doctors regularly miss overhead pages and phone calls.

The end result – more time wasted on repetitive pages, phone tag, and chasing doctors down the halls.

How much time?

The average nurse wastes one hour per day tracking down physicians! It’s a bit startling to think how many more patients could be seen at that time if only there was a way to cut down this process.
