Unlocking the Value of SharePoint
Faced with escalating costs and mounting government regulations, healthcare providers need to streamline knowledge and resource management to remain competitive. Effective use of collaboration technologies and processes can help providers enhance patient care, reduce administrative costs, and minimize manual processes, repetitive work, and duplicate record-keeping.
Healthcare professionals want the ability to:
- Share documents internally as well as with students, researchers, patients and their families, community-based providers, and external medical professionals
- Automate laborious manual processes in HR, finance, patient care, billing, and administration
- Access information anywhere, anytime
- Ensure security of vital personal and corporate information
- Maintain compliance with government regulations and audit requirements
SharePoint-based solutions can address many of these common concerns by:
- Providing a location to store large volumes of different types of documents
- Creating a central place for committees, departments, and project groups to collaborate
- Improving the ability of hospital staff and affiliates to locate relevant information
- Enabling document tracking and security through role-based access, digital signatures, and version control
- Identifying which documents meet information governance criteria and CQC and NHSLA standards
- Streamlining the flow of information between knowledge workers and hospital and community-based providers
- Collecting patient data in one central location
- Compiling and analyzing data from unintegrated legacy applications and systems
- Replacing manual, labor-intensive processes with automated workflows and forms
- Improving disaster recovery capabilities
