Life-saving support at your fingertips!"🖐️ Here is how we do it! 📱Our central patient overview helps workers to quickly detect patients that are at high risk. It's simple: 🔴 Red - Emergency  🟡 Yellow - Priority 🔵 Blue - Technical Alarm ⚪ No Color - Low Priority ⏰ To minimize distractions, the alarms in our central patient overview are purely visual alarms, while at the bedside, the IMPALA monitor adds audible alarms to notify healthcare workers when a patient is in need, allowing for timely, life-saving intervention. But don’t just take our word for it, here is A. Bengo - Malawian Medical Officer: ❤️ “Working as a medical officer in one busy pediatric ward;  IMPALA makes my work tremendously easy. It has reduced the amount of time we spend getting vital signs and also has improved the quality of the care we give.” 🌬️With the central overview and monitor, patient monitoring, assessment and prioritization become a breeze, empowering healthcare workers and saving lives. 👨🏾⚕️👩🏾⚕️ To all our healthcare workers: What is your experience of alarms in a healthcare setting?

The job list that keeps me organised Now I know not everyone will benefit from this template, and some do just fine writing on a blank sheet of paper but I'm a headless chicken without it, especially on long days and on-call shifts. So for those of you who operate similarly, feel free to save this or send me a message and I will send you a pdf for better quality. Thanks to medical students and foundation doctors who have given their feedback, I have made some useful changes to the template. Examples of how I used it on an on-call shift: Do now - r/v pt x - BP 210/103 - K+ 7.2 - NEWS 5, increased O2 requirements Decide when - discharge letter - maintenance fluids - cannula for Abx - post-op analgesia r/v - prescribe regular meds - micro discussion Delegate (I only tend to do this if I am swamped. The nurses are very lovely but please don't take advantage. If my colleagues offer to help with jobs I also put it here to remember to confirm whether they've been done) - routine bloods - order CT or other specialist scan (hospital policy requires a senior doctor) - prep discharge summary Hope this helps! #doctors #clinicians #nhs #healthcare #productivity #juniordoctor #residentdoctor #foundationdoctor #medicine

Ever been stuck waiting for care due to a shift change? I’ve experienced firsthand how nursing handoff inefficiencies during shift changes can lead to significant delays and communication lapses. During my recent treatment session, I waited over 45 minutes without any nurse attending to me because of a poor handoff during a shift change. They basically forgot about me since I arrived just at the moment the outgoing nurse was signing out. This delay extended my treatment time by over an hour. I was PO'ed. Communication lapses and information loss during handoffs are dangerous. The most dangerous time in a hospital is during shift change! In fact, communication issues are a root cause in over 80% of sentinel events. Structured handoff protocols have been shown to reduce medical errors and preventable adverse events significantly. So, what can we do to improve this? 1️⃣ Utilize technology to support handoff processes 2️⃣ Implement standardized handoff protocols 3️⃣ Enhance staff training and education Curious about how we can fix this? I break down the problem and solutions in my latest Inefficiency Insights article. Check it out 👉 https://lnkd.in/eWRDnGfy

Transform the Way You Care for Your Patients Are you a Registered Dietitian, Nurse Practitioner, or Physician? It's time to take your patient care to the next level. While motivational interviewing is crucial, it’s just the beginning. To truly inspire lasting change, you need to build deeper trust and foster genuine personal connections. Here’s the key: Cultivate your own emotional and spiritual awareness, and which will help you become more flexible. Create a safe space where patients feel comfortable sharing what truly drives or troubles them. This isn’t about stepping into the role of a therapist but enhancing your role as a healthcare provider with empathy and human warmth. this is the essence of initially including spiritual care/support inside your primary practice! Your medical expertise is vital, but the real magic happens when patients feel seen and heard. By integrating spiritual care into your practice, you’re not just treating symptoms—you’re promoting holistic healing and renewal for both your patients and yourself. Show them they matter—that’s half the battle won. What is one way you could incorporate this right now with patients? Include your experiences in the comments below.

👩⚕️📲👨🏽⚕️📲 👩🏼⚕️ Connecting nurses and doctors can be a frustrating experience when you don't have the right tools in place. Poor workflows are a time waster for medical practices. This leads to off-call doctors getting paged for urgent and non-urgent matters.  What if you could improve communication for the entire care team so you don't have to wait hours for lab results, nurse callbacks, or physician responses? Today, we will discuss how workflows based on accurate schedules can get a message to where it needs to go. 🌟 If you're a medical administrator or licensed clinician, register with the link in comments, and we'll be sure to send you the replay. 👇

The importance of That First Assessment: Lately, I've reviewed several medical mal practice cases where a common issue kept resurfacing: failure to properly assess the patient from the start. Think about it-if you don't assess and document your initial assessment, how will you track changes in the patient's condition? Was the change gradual, or did it happen suddenly? Were you able to notify the physician in a timely manner? Failing to assess and document that crucial first assessment can have significant consequences for patient care. It is part of the nursing standard of care to ensure every patient receives a thorough initial assessment. This step is one of the most crucial foundations of patient safety and care quality. Attorneys, do you have a case where That initial assessment is missing or not complete? Let me help you with that! ====================================== Hola! My name is Maria Hagen.
