Anyone who has been on a hospital ward, whether as clinician, patient, or visitor, has noticed the continual din of beeps and chirps\u2014it can drive you crazy. It\u2019s notable that one of the simple ways Rauland\u2018s communication system improves the hospital experience is to reduce noise by routing alerts quietly to the person who needs to handle them.\n\nAnother key benefit of using Rauland, according to Director of Product Management Joseph DeLisle, is that it checks the content of a call or alert and directs it to the right person. For instance, if the patient is just asking for a pillow, the call goes to a technician instead of a nurse. This relieves the nurses of trivial tasks and lets them \u201cpractice at the top of their licenses.\u201d\n\nMichelle Allen, Vice President and General Manager at Rauland, says that the emerging crisis in nurse burnout and resignations is caused partly by having new administrative burdens with inadequate support from IT systems. (She cites other factors as well, such as bigger workloads, sicker patients, and safety concerns.) Hospitals are always deploying new technologies, and these often increase the burden of recording and sharing data unless they are all integrated.\n\nLearn more about Rauland: https://www.rauland.com/en\nHealth IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/
