Communication Challenges at Trinity Health System
Inefficient clinical communication
Patient throughput
Communication barriers during patient transfers
“We had a lot of relay systems where you call an answering service, or you page somebody, or you call through the nurse, or the doctor might communicate through the nurse. We had many difficulties with patient flow due to the number of calls that were being made and the wrong people being called.”
Dr. Matthew Colflesh
Chief Medical Officer, Trinity Health System
Results
“If you get patient flow right, then you get your Left Without Being Seen (LWBS) right. We were in the 7% range, and we dropped that over the course of time with TigerConnect. We got as low as 1.5%.”
