HEALTH, SAFETY & WELLBEING
So, in order to successfully integrate more effective technology into the healthcare environment, executives need to take a ‘patient-centric’ focus to care. But, patient- centric care should equally balance the patient, caregiver and technology in a ‘triangle of care’. In this environment, the provider partially faces the computer display and the patient, and the patient can interact with the screen and provider simultaneously.
“Patient-centric care should equally balance the patient, caregiver and technology in a ‘triangle of care’.”
Because implementation is focused on getting up and running versus day-to-day use, it’s understandable that factors such as space restrictions and flexibility are not the top concern at the moment. However, if these functional and spatial considerations had been more top of mind earlier on, perhaps they wouldn’t be a top challenge for clinicians’ workflow and patient care delivery.

It is critical that care facilities take advantage of every opportunity to improve the clinician and patient experience by integrating innovative technologies into caregiver workflows. Whether new hospital builds, renovations or process-flow improvements, using the right equipment, rightly placed, begins to remove barriers.
Ergonomic considerations are a part of the solution, with ergonomic equipment helping hospitals improve the patient-provider experience and engagement. It also positively impacts workflow efficiency and workers’ overall health, making it even more crucial for hospital decision makers to keep these assets top of mind.
Ultimately, as healthcare organisations continue to evolve and improve the way they deliver services, it is vital that the technology and equipment within each care facility be as ergonomic, and its implementation as seamless, as possible. In that way, a better digital future for patients can go hand-in-hand with workplace wellbeing for the professionals that are so vital to long-term success.
