The healthcare army never sleeps. It’s 3:00 a.m., and a quiet sentry stands guard behind a glass window. He waits patiently for the passcode and the necessary identification. This time, he unlocks the sliding door for a family member filled with hope. In the inner sanctum of the CCU, a regiment of clinicians strategizes behind more glass windows and more frosted doors. The team is flanked by a cast of non-clinical workers that moves noiselessly in the background, fulfilling the essential support functions that enable the hospital to run.

Here, digital technology and a wide selection of devices are abundant. Each clinician has a mission, whether it’s quietly monitoring colored lights and a symphony of beeps; assessing almost imperceptible changes in breathing; watching for the most subtle of eye movements; or detecting fingers that twitch and mouths that struggle to form words. Saving time and having the right, secure digital tools to collaborate and access information are at the essence of it all. This healthcare army works hard to manage both with military precision.

For healthcare workers, at least three things are always top of mind. Engagement and productivity save lives (both are resources that great technology solutions can enhance). Concentrating on core competencies is a win/win for healthcare entities, employees, and patients. And while everyone wants a good outcome, it doesn’t always happen. Reality rests on gossamer wings of hope.

Anyone who has entrusted a loved one to a healthcare facility envisions the well-oiled care machine.

What if that wasn’t the case?

Let’s take a minute to imagine the same environment — only in a state of chaos. Clinicians unable to expediently access patient records. Billing wizards and compliance experts searching endlessly for the appropriate rules for Medicare Parts “A” through “D.” Documents that won’t print. Devices that won’t compute. Networks that fail. Protected health information (PHI) that isn’t so protected after all. And lost research papers describing treatments that may save a patient’s life.

Technology failures, complex workflows, security technologies that impede care, and lengthy approval processes are roadblocks that healthcare workers shouldn’t have to face, because in healthcare, the negative impact of barriers to productivity is exponentially greater than it is in other industries.

This is why healthcare workers — clinical or not — need digital technology solutions that can help them cut through the clutter, easily access information and concentrate on the critical roles they fill. Not only do they need technology that is highly secure, but also, they require solutions that are as easy to navigate as the consumer technology they use at home.
