Enhances patient safety and satisfaction with upgraded clinical communications
The Challenge
Newton Wellesley Hospital (NWH), part of the Mass General Brigham Integrated Delivery Network (IDN), provides expert medical services, with an emphasis on personalized patient care and satisfaction. Their aging clinical communication system reached end-oflife therefore limiting their ability to leverage modern technology to improve workflows and access real time actionable data. NWH required a technology partner to help them modernize their infrastructure and clinical workflows to help impact clinical decision making, communication, escalations, rounding, response times, and overall organization collaboration.![](https://signetgroup.net/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-from-2023-04-05-12-57-14.png)
