Webinar: Improve workflows and reduce clinician burnout with a strong IT-clinical relationship

Does your organization have an IT/clinical governing body
or multi-disciplinary team?

When Sarah Cypher, director of nursing at Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin, caught a glimpse of the secure messaging technology a fellow leader was using, she knew she was looking at a powerful communication tool. But until that moment, she had no idea the mobile application she was looking at was already in use at her organization.

There is a great irony occurring today in hospitals around the country: Attempts to roll out powerful communication tools are failing because IT and clinical staff themselves speak very different languages. In fact, disconnects between IT staff and clinical technology end users are common and can lead to project delays, security concerns and other conflicts, which all affect adoption and efficacy.

You'll learn how to:

Identify the consequences of communication disconnects between IT staff and clinical technology end users
Describe the barriers to effective collaboration, and recognize how these barriers can lead to project delays, security concerns, and poor end user adoption
Explain how clinical and IT teams can turn a lack of mutual understanding into a successful collaboration for reviewing new technology
