The
Strategy Institute's "Canadian Summit on Transforming Healthcare
Delivery" September 13, 2007 • The Old Mill Inn
and Spa, Toronto, ON - Gary Hannah, Vocantas President & CEO to present
to attendees:
"Transforming healthcare delivery does not need to happen within
the healthcare facility"
Clinical research has proven that monitoring patients after discharge
via telephone can result in reduced or eliminated adverse events and therefore
fewer re-admissions. This would be virtually impossible to do manually
given the existing burden on skilled healthcare resources, however, it
can be accomplished with the proper application of technology and a clear
understanding of the organization's objectives. Automating the process
ensures consistent, measurable quality of care for all patients and provides
detailed statistics that enable healthcare teams to promptly identify
trends and issues for future enhancements.
