Improving Clinical Efficiency by Consolidating Multiple Apps on One Mobile Device

In the midst of challenges such as building expansions and evolving healthcare technology, Children’s of Alabama turned to mobile technology to enhance the clinician experience and help staff deliver care more efficiently. In this webinar, Chief Clinical Information Officer Stephanie Lenz, MSN, RN, will walk through one patient’s journey to show how nurses and physicians are using applications on a hospital-issued mobile device to reduce steps in what was traditionally a multiple-step (and sometimes overly creative) process.

Join us to learn:
