A key to the coalition’s capabilities is the fact that all members agreed to use the same technology platform, LiveProcess, which offers a secure, real-time virtual situation management system built for healthcare systems to dynamically rebalance business and clinical operations to meet demand while managing quality of care, employee and patient safety and financial risk.
Nimble, efficient adaptation is critical both to meet care delivery needs and to limit financial loss. This pandemic has taught us that health systems need to be better prepared to innovate and rapidly adapt in order to thrive.
CHELMSFORD, MA – July 7, 2020 – LiveProcess, the leader in healthcare emergency management solutions, today announced the release of LiveProcess Aware™, a secure, real-time virtual situation management platform built for healthcare systems to dynamically rebalance business and clinical operations while managing quality of care, safety and financial risk.
“As we saw with the COVID-19 pandemic, health systems need to be better prepared to innovate and rapidly adapt to changing situations in order to thrive,” said Terry Zysk, CEO, LiveProcess. “Doing that successfully requires real-time situational awareness and close collaboration across clinical, operational and business domains.”
For survival in an uncertain financial and public health environment, U.S. health systems grapple with a new requirement: to be nimble. In this guest post, Terry Zysk, CEO at healthcare IT company LiveProcess, explains how some health systems and hospitals are employing situational awareness and collaboration technology to respond and adapt to unforeseen situations, including but not limited to COVID-19.
A public health emergency response creates large-scale logistical issues. Hospitals are changing protocols, rethinking workflows, repurposing clinical areas and redistributing staff to adapt to a shift in demand with COVID-19. Some of the innovative US hospitals we work with are solving pandemic-related problems by repurposing already deployed or quick-to-deploy technology. Creativity is allowing these health systems to adapt to the COVID-19 crisis. Their experiences may spur ideas that help your own health system improvise and adapt to COVID-19 and other disruptive situations.
Tift went live with LiveProcess Emergency Manager six weeks ago and hadn’t yet scheduled its training sessions when COVID-19 hit close to home. “It’s all so simple. I created my own event and incident command, and we’ve been running ever since. And I trained my boss in about 10 minutes.”
As the COVID-19 pandemic pushes health systems to the limit, safeguarding the health of hospital employees is paramount. Knowing the health status of each staff member before the start a shift helps protect patients and co-workers from infection.
Screening every worker every day is an immense task. In this post, we share examples of how LiveProcess customers use the LiveProcess platform to manage this challenge with notifications and surveys.
As you adjust to keep up with this public health crisis, having a simple, orderly way of complying with staff screening guidelines can help.
Tift Regional Medical Center in Georgia deployed the LiveProcess Emergency Manager software two weeks before the coronavirus hit the region and began managing the virus via the system immediately. The medical center’s virtual command center is a management portal that acts as a kind of “virtual bulletin board,” allowing staff to disseminate information, keep track of planning and coordination and response to situations. It keeps all staff on the same page in real time.
In this blog post, one in a blog series on COVID-19 pandemic response solutions, we’ll share how the coalition in Riverside uses the coordination and collaboration features of LiveProcess to manage bed and ventilator availability across 18 facilities.
Riverside collects availability information from the facilities in its coalition by using the survey feature in LiveProcess. Creating a survey is intuitive and highly customizable, so you can capture exactly the information you need in the format you want, such as free text, multiple choice, checklist, or numeric answer. For bed and ventilator availability, Riverside surveys each facility for the quantity of resources in several different categories.
