Mark Behl Presents: New York Presbyterian Placing Emphasis on Patient-Centric Atmosphere
2. Patient communication, engagement, and
satisfaction are a few criteria that hospitals are
attempting to improve with help from recent
technological advancements
Mobile technology and interconnectivity are at
an all time high within the general populous and
at NewYork- Presbyterian Hospital,
administrators are attempting to increase patient
experience through such avenues
3. Last year the hospital took steps to ensure it would remain
up to date on technological initiatives by opening their
Innovation Center (iUnit)
Working closely with different departments within NY
Presbyterian and externally they have been able to bring
many enhancements to hospital-goers experiences
To start, the iUnit asked the William Randolph Hearst Burn
Center employees how technology could help their
ef鍖ciency
From feedback, the new innovation unit helped improve
phones, tablet integration and broad communication
channels
4. Examples of the communication improvements
include text alerts for families waiting on a
patients status, as well as patient tablets for
them to view their health information and
summon nurses for help while in bed
These improvements may seem minute, but the
small incremental improvement vastly helps with
streamlining every process of a patients
experience
5. The latest improvement to patients experience is the
NYP E-Whiteboard
This initiative consists of a 40 LED display within
surgical units allowing patients, family members, and
caregivers real time updates on status among other
important information for all to have
Such screens increase transparency within complicated
processes that have long been a mystery for patients
and loved ones
Having everyone involved with a recovery greatly
increases satisfaction and overall experience
6. Further aiding the culture of innovation, NYP has
been working with external organizations to help
cultivate healthcare-centric ventures
The Blueprint Health Accelerator is an incubator
of sorts designed to attract entrepreneurs to
innovate and start initiatives that further improve
hospital processes
7. New York Presbyterian has placed high
emphasis on cultivating a patient-centric
atmosphere and their recent steps to improving
the technology within their system is a testament
to that
Look for many more hospitals to model this
behavior and introduce technological
advancements in order to increase patient
satisfaction
