Becoming a modern physician requires embracing new technologies and processes to make patient care more efficient and effective. One such technology that has made a huge impact on hospital workflow management is HybridChart. This innovative platform has been designed by physicians, for physicians, and offers a comprehensive solution to the problems that have plagued hospital rounding for so long.

The traditional approach to hospital rounding is an inefficient and time-consuming process that requires multiple communication channels, significant support staff, and a lot of guesswork. Inpatient medicine can be chaotic and unpredictable, making it challenging for physicians to determine who needs to be seen and when. As a result, hospital rounding has become a dreaded task, often viewed as a necessary evil, with no reliable solution in sight.

HybridChart’s EVOLVE product package combines charge capture, census management, secure messaging, discharge planning, and data and reporting into a seamless workflow management solution. With this platform, providers can access real-time information about which patients have already been seen and who needs attention, reducing the need for constant check-ins and phone calls.

One major benefit of charge capture is that it enables physicians to get an accurate, up-to-date list of patients who have not yet been seen. This list is updated in real-time, so physicians can quickly identify any gaps in their schedule and prioritize their afternoon rounds accordingly.

The platform also eliminates the need for office staff to manage phone calls, text messages, and other communication channels to keep track of new consults. The office staff can now enter patient information directly into the software, and with a few clicks, the providers receive a secure message informing them of the new consult. This process is much more efficient, transparent, and secure than the traditional approach.

The weekend signout process is another area where HybridChart can make a significant impact. In the past, physicians would have to make multiple phone calls to compile a list of patients to be seen, and after a long call weekend, they would have to make more phone calls to sign out the patients to their partners. With workflow management software, this process becomes painless and efficient, with the ability to update locations and brief clinical history making signouts a breeze.

Finally, when physicians are on call, the 11 o’clock call from the ER can be a nightmare. In the past, physicians would have to grab their pad, write down the patient information, and hope that they could figure out who was rounding the next day. With HybridChart’s mobile charge capture, physicians can enter the information directly into the app, ensuring that the information is available to whoever is rounding the next day.

In conclusion, hospital workflow management is a critical aspect of modern healthcare, and HybridChart offers a comprehensive solution that helps physicians tackle the challenges of hospital rounding. With real-time information, secure messaging, and efficient processes, this platform has transformed the traditional, clunky approach to hospital rounding into a seamless and streamlined experience. By embracing technology and embracing HybridChart, physicians can become modern, efficient, and effective care providers, delivering the highest level of care to their patients.
