Leveraging New Technologies for Improvement – Disruptive Innovations in Healthcare

Today Dr. Dennis O’Leary will be talking to attendees at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement 23rd Annual National Forum on Quality Improvement in Health Care. Dr. O’Leary’s session, “Leveraging New Technologies for Improvement: Disruptive Innovations in Healthcare,” will focus on how new technology improves patient care while reducing the cost of health care delivery. Speakers will review methods to successfully introducing new technology to an organization. 
 
Dr. O’Leary will explain how inadequate resource visibility is the reason many health care providers encounter problems with:

• Cost management
• Risk mitigation
• Revenue identification
• Quality health care delivery

Dr. O’Leary details how RTLS helps manage costs through optimal utilization of assets and cuts risk by preventing hospital acquired infections and improved temperature monitoring. RTLS solutions also point out missed revenue opportunities in the emergency department and operating room. The quality of care is improved in hospitals using RTLS by reducing care delivery times and wasted time looking for equipment.
 
Leveraging New Technologies for Improvement: Disruptive Innovations in Healthcare will begin at 9:30 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. on Dec. 7.
