“The trained nurse has become one of the great blessings of humanity, taking a place beside the physician and the priest,” said William Osler, a Canadian physician who is one of the four founders of Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Why? Because they’re good with computers? Probably not.
You’re not alone if you don’t know anyone who entered the health care profession so he or she could spend more time at a computer.
Our nurses and other staff members at Christian Health Care Center are here to spend time with residents.
That’s why we’re so excited to announce that our new computers and software system are up and running!
The new PointClickCare software system, which manages our medical records and patient health information, has already been getting rave reviews from staff. The software is now running on many of the new computers at CHCC.
We’re particularly excited about this system because it’s the result of an initiative that was started on the floor, with CHCC staff members. They let our management team know that nurses and other staff members were spending too much time waiting on a slow, aging computer system.
With that concern in hand, our administration took time to identify a solution and then brought that before the CHCC board of trustees. The board was fully behind the endeavor, approving the technology upgrade and ensuring it could be put into practice as soon as possible.
Everyone at CHCC is committed to ensuring our staff members have the tools they need to do their jobs right. And that means less time inputting data and more time working with our residents, which of course is why we are here to begin with.
Of course the new software system, PointClickCare, offers more than just less time on screen. Used by more than 13,000 senior care providers, the system helps increase the quality of care, aids in the improvement business performance and simplifies regulatory compliance.
We’re proud of the fact that staff members feel empowered to bring ideas to management and that management, in turn, has the backs of staff members. Together with the board, we’re all working together to ensure CHCC’s residents get top-notch care with the utmost expertise and compassion.
