IMPROVING HOSPITAL COMMUNICATION
NATIONAL PATIENT SAFETY GOAL (NPSG) #2
Improve the safety and effectiveness of communication among caregivers
NPSG.02.03.01Report critical results of tests and diagnostic procedures on a timely basis
![Page 15: Clinical Alerting: Beyond the Nurse Call](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020410/589ac1801a28abcf058b5317/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
MANY TESTS, MANY RESULTS
400Radiology exams in the U.S. each year
Million
Lab tests in the U.S. each year
6.8Billion
Of test results specifically cited as a factor in a malpractice case:
MOST COMMON PROBLEMPatient didn’t receive test resultsSECOND-MOST COMMON PROBLEMClinician didn’t receive test results

THE CHALLENGE: TIME TO DELIVER CRITICAL LAB RESULTS
• After some phone tag, Lab speaks with Dr. Jones about Sue
• Dr. Jones recognizes the need for immediate treatment
• He must contact the appropriate physician for immediate action
WITHOUT SPOK: 25 MINUTES TIME TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS:
START
Results entered into hospital’s results
system
Laboratory techs attempt to contact
Dr. Jones
Lab results are critical - ordering physician
must be notified .
Sue’s physician, Dr. Jones,
orders lab tests
![Page 17: Clinical Alerting: Beyond the Nurse Call](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022020410/589ac1801a28abcf058b5317/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
SPEEDING CRITICAL LAB RESULTS WITH SPOK
• Results sent directly to physician's device
• Alert message is transmitted securely
• Physician is able to close the loop
• Alert will escalate in 15, 30, 60 min if the loop is not closed
• Escalation period can be configured by the hospital
• Results can be sent to multiple devices and multiple caregivers
WITHOUT SPOK: 25 MINUTES TIME TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS:
START
WITH SPOK: 3 MINUTES
Lab results are critical - ordering physician must
be notified .
Sue’s physician, Dr. Jones, orders lab tests

EHR INTEGRATION
84%OF U.S. HOSPITALS HAVE A BASIC EHR
EHRs = complex functionality, but increasing reliance on purpose-built solutions to interoperate

PATIENT REMINDER
Jeff is discharged with instructions for taking his meds.
Jeff’s physician knows he is an at-risk patient, and doesn’t want to see him readmitted.
“…should be taken once daily with food…”
Spok can take data from your EMR to send SMS reminders to patients
