Effective Communication
Whether large or small, healthcare providers typically offer a wide range of services to their clients. Modern healthcare organizations are often located in multiple geographic locations, and tend to employ a diverse range of professionals and support personnel. In this type of environment effective employee communication and comprehensive document management are crucial to the successful management of staff and resources.
Administrative Overhead
Many healthcare organizations rely on paper-based procedures and records management, which necessitates large amounts of dual-record keeping. In addition there is always the risk that a paper record can go missing or not contain all the appropriate data. In a healthcare environment this can mean the difference between good and bad patient outcomes.
Automated Workflows
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 builds on the technology already existing in your organization to create a healthcare portal that solves the problems associated with employee communication and records management in the healthcare industry. Deploying electronic forms and automated workflows allows you to reduce the amount of time employees are spending on paperwork, reducing costs and freeing up resources for patient care and organisational improvement.
Healthcare HR Portal
Healthcare providers face particular challenges in maintaining effective communication between employees and the Human Resources department. Many medical facilities operate two or more shifts and ensuring that all staff in all shifts receive the latest communications from HR is crucial. SharePoint helps HR centralise and disseminate all HR communication to all employees – forms, memos, circulars, policy updates, can all be shared electronically without the need to send ever-increasing amounts of email attachments.
myDocs and SharePoint
nSynergy enhances SharePoint by using the myDocs Outlook Express add-in. myDocs is the best way to incorporate Outlook emails into SharePoint workflows and document libraries. Using the Outlook as a key tool for accessing SharePoint reduces training and deployment overheads, as it uses a technology that your employees are already very familiar with.
