Content: One of the primary ways healthcare organizations are combating escalating costs is through improved efficiencies gained by data analytics and the cost-saving, patient-focused recommendations of nurse Informaticists. As we’ve covered, nurse informaticists use data-informed insights to improve almost every aspect of patient-centered care. With streamlined processes, teams work more efficiently with less stress on the staff. Clear communication and consistent documentation speeds patient care and reduces the chance of costly medical errors. And with the use of integrated healthcare technology systems, many tedious administrative tasks are automated, improving productivity and lowering costs. Nurse Informaticists don’t just work behind the scenes. They help change how patients receive healthcare. Advancements in healthcare data and communication, paired with remote health devices, allow healthcare professionals to shift care from the hospital to the patient’s home with remote patient care. This helps significantly lower healthcare costs as well as minimizes potential risk for patients during COVID-19. The efficient and effective use of data is the lifeblood of any healthcare organization and the key to lowering healthcare costs.
