StatCom Launches Interactive Website to Demonstrate
Optimized Patient Flow
This unique interactive website demonstrates how StatCom
improves patient throughput and capacity management.
ATLANTA, GA -- December 7, 2006 - StatCom, the innovative leader
in patient flow logistics and tracking software, today announced
the launch of its dynamic new website which demonstrates how its
solution improves patient throughput and capacity management in
hospitals. This unique healthcare IT solution provides an immediate
and comprehensive view of the entire patient flow process with
real-time tools to manage that flow within and between
departments.
"StatCom's technology represents a giant step forward in
managing the patient flow process. It's the first solution of its
kind, and this website reflects not only its innovative technology,
but also how it truly impacts the patient's experience," said Eric
Morgan, president and CEO of StatCom. "StatCom was designed
specifically to improve team performance and communication, and
this site demonstrates that focus in a way that hospital
administrators, staff and executives can understand."
"...this website reflects not only StatCom's innovative
technology, but also how it truly impacts the patient's
experience."
-- Eric Morgan - CEO
When visitors go to the StatCom homepage at www.statcom.com,
they are prompted to "click on the ambulance" to enter the
interactive experience. From there a navigation wheel opens which
represents all the areas of the hospital that StatCom touches. The
user can click on the center to start from the beginning or click
on one of the areas to enter. From the beginning and in each area
the animated sequence describes a patient's (John Smith) journey as
he progresses from the emergency department to his room, to the
cath lab, and on to discharge on his fifth day. The animation
sequences are based on actual hospital operations and procedures
with information and hot spots that describe how StatCom improves
communications and handoffs during the patient journey.
"The benefit of this approach is that hospital staff can get a
quick glimpse of how StatCom would work in their environment, and
they can explore how it improves patient handoffs and communication
between areas," said Ben Sawyer, executive VP, market and client
development for StatCom. "Studies have shown that the majority of
mistakes occur during handoffs because of communication problems.
StatCom closes the gap between vertical operational silos,
significantly reducing the chance for such errors."
