Increasing the efficiency of the medical profession can do a lot for helping patients stay healthier and safer. There are a few big things that have recently revolutionized patient treatment, including the use of voice recognition software and concepts borrowed from the automobile production industry.
Optimizing healthcare has been a big issue for quite a while. And while some big steps in this field of study have already been taken, there is still a lot of ground that needs to be covered. For example, doctors still have many things they can do to increase their efficiency. One such area is when dealing with a health speech recognition software program. Studies show that this helps speed doctors’ note taking abilities up by about 200 percent. This is a huge increase and means that doctors spend doing the necessary clerical end of their jobs and more time doing what is the most important thing: treating patients more effectively.
In healthcare, some hospitals are looking toward other means of better helping their patients. For example, a recent study has shown that stroke treatment has become much better because of the quicker time in which patients are treated from the moment they enter the hospital’s doors. This so called “door to needle” time has helped patients improve their odds of surviving and fully recovering from a stroke. Some effective methods have been created being modeled after car production plants in Japan. This might seem silly, but a production line is the perfect model of efficiency. Here, cars are put together in rapid succession and they are designed to be very safe and sound at the same time. If you’re looking for a quick way to do something, a production line model could be very effective.
