Implication of Point-of-Care Technology on Patient Outcomes

Implication of Point-of-Care Technology on Patient Outcomes

This session will concentrate on the outcomes that have been achieved when technology has been intentionally designed to deliver evidence based content to the finger tips of the clinicians. The impact of  delivering evidence into an interdisciplinary evidence based  integrated documentation system will focus on the outcomes of knowing the patients story, having a valued interdisciplinary plan of care, stopping duplication and repetition and preventing common complications.  The practical leadership decision making to assure the ability to reach and sustain the clinical outcomes will be correlated to day to day operations.    The statistically significant clinical outcomes experienced by the Consortium who engaged in the work to implement evidence based practice at the point of care will be correlated to professional standards, federal, governmental, credentialing as well as JCAHO, Magnet, NQF and IHI initiatives. Global implications of technology to reach safe, quality care will be correlated to technology and practice transformation based on International Consortium engagement.
