A happier team is a more effective team

• By eliminating unnecessary distraction and understanding the gaps in scheduling and workflow, you can optimize the performance of your team (as much as possible in a hospital environment). And to make things even easier,  Caresight Express delivers a summary report every morning, via email so you don’t need to interrupt your data analytics team to get critical information.

CareSight in Action:

• By understanding alarm behaviors immediately after XX rounding operations, a nursing manager can adjust rounding procedures to proactively avoid alarm-based interruption. Using knowledge to optimize workflows can make nurses more efficient, and allow them more quality time with patients, instead of continuously responding to unplanned demands.
