Apple Products Transform Care in EMORY Healthcare
In the Emory Hillandale Hospital, the ecosystem of Apple products – powered by Epic Healthcare – Increases Care and Patient Experience
In Emory Hillandale, Lithonia, Georgia, Apple Products is now standard, which means the first transformation of technology for clinics and patients. Emory Healthcare, powered by the availability of epic Mac systems, introduced Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch across the Emory Hillandale Hospital, enabubling clinical doctors to work more efficiently and to stay with their team from anywhere.
“We are not not changing technology, we change culture,” says Ravi I. Thadhani, MD, MPH, Emory University, Emory’s Woodruff Health Center. “EMORY Healthcare redefines the patient and the clinic with experience with a more effective and intuitive technology control process.”
Apple products such as iPhone and iPad have unlocked a new level of mobility, efficiency and cooperation for clinics, which has led to better experience with patients and satisfaction. The introduction of Mac across the Emory Hillandale hospital replaces its older facilities and denotes a whole new chapter for the health industry.
“As clinic doctors, we join the field with a deep commitment to serve the needy,” says Vikram Narayan, MD, Associate Professor of Urology at Emory University and urology oncologist in Emory Healthcare. “However, the reality of health care is inherently complex and versatile. In the whole industry as a whole, the administrative barden is in combination with a reduced labor force, leading to an increase in the burn -off of Frontline workers.
“Epic integration on Mac across the Emory Hillandale hospital shows the world how best to accept technology to improve the workflow for doctors so that they can continue to give patients in the first place,” Thadhani.
To alleviate some of these administrative stress, notebooks and desktops in a 100 -beds hospital, Mac with Epic has been replaced. The nursing stations are equipped with iMac and Mac Mini and doctors are able to drive paths for patient care from anywhere thanks to MacBook Air portability.
Care teams are able to access patient specific data, such as allergies, preventive measures and other information on the use of magnetically attached iPad outside each patient room. This helps to improve communication and coordination between the care team as information on the iPad UtaTes in real time. In addition, every nurse and physician are released their own iPhone to remain connected, and doctors use Apple Watch to a faster lining to the needs of ASYY patients. For example, notifications of critical laboratories from Epic Limerick can be displayed directly on the wrist in real time.
“I can stay in an overview with my patients in a way that has not been possible before,” says Rashida La Barrie, MD, Hospital and Medical Director for Review at Emory Hillandale Hospital. Being able to transition between iPhone and Apple Watch to get notifications Dr. La Barrie remain connected regardless of where he is, and eventually led to better care of his patients. “Medical care is historically slowly accepted technology, which I think is such a mistake. We can use technology to provide better and more efficient care, especially now, for our patients.”
Before deploying Emora Hillandale, Emory at Emory Saint Joseph’s hospital was evidence of the concept. After Imac, MacBook and iPhone for shared use with registered nurses and clinical doctors, solid surge and de retention treatment remained strong. Nurses and clinic doctors quoted improvisation, such as fast login with Apple devices, easy documentation and smaller eyes with a high -definition retina. Further research into the efficiency of documentation led by Dr. Narayan Emory found that the combination of Apple technology with Epic and Afridge Ambient Documentation will save him an average of two hours a day compared to old systems.
In addition, Apple helps to improve the inpatient experience with mychart Bedside on the iPad. Each patient bed is equipped with an iPad, so patients can have access to their medical records, view their care plans, order meals and communicate with their nursing team, allowing them to remain involved in their health.
“The technology we use today in Emory Hillandale has improved working procedures for our nursing staff as a whole,” says Edna Brisco, MSN, RN, Vice President of Patient Care and the main nursing officer at Emory Hillanal Hospital. “Mac allows the nurses to move with your day faster, while the iPad brings important health information to the Fingentips of our patients. It’s a game change as we provide care.”
EMORY Healthcare – and health systems in general – host some of the most private and personal data, be it health records or patient personal data. All over the world, hospitals face increased cyber security threats that could endanger their employees and patients.
Apple products are designed with privacy and security at their core and try to keep health organizations and data about their patients.
Looking forward, Emory Healthcare and Epic are examining new ways to innovate patient care and Apple support. Doctors also test new technology such as Apple Vision Pro in their surgery and research, making it a way for the next stage of care.
“I want to get involved in your message to this transformation,” says Dr. La Barrie. “I think this is the future of health care and as health care providers we should always look at the horizon.”
