The Challenge: Inpatient Communication and Rounding Are Still Manual
In many hospitals, the patient experience during an inpatient stay is slowed down by:
- Manual rounding processes that delay patient requests and follow-up care
- Limited self-service options for patients to communicate needs in real time
- High nurse workloads that reduce time available for direct patient interaction
- Lack of centralized data on patient needs and satisfaction
- Missed opportunities to improve care pathways and service recovery
These gaps lead to lower patient satisfaction scores, heavier staff workloads, and missed operational efficiencies.
