Transform Clinical Workflows and Boost Nursing Satisfaction

Healthcare nurses experience burnout and are becoming less satisfied with their jobs. The nursing industry needs new and creative solutions. Nurses aim to perform at the top of their license and deliver optimal patient care.

Introducing the game-changer: smart patient TVs can help alleviate stress in nursing care. Let's explore how this technology is transforming clinical workflows and improving nursing satisfaction.

The Current State of Nursing

Recent studies paint a sobering picture of the nursing profession:

• 20% of nurses are experiencing burnout.
• Over 60% of nurses don't have time for meals or breaks.
• The share of nurses who felt unhappy with their main job nearly doubled from 2017 to 2022. It reached 19.9%.
• The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 6% growth in RN demand over the next decade. If workforce patterns remain unchanged, the demand will exceed supply by nearly 10% over the next 10 years,
• In long-term care, 31% of nurses report being short-staffed.

Smart TVs: A Beacon of Hope

Smart TVs can have advanced patient engagement software or integrations with electronic health records such as Epic® MyChart®. These are powerful tools to address nursing challenges. Here's how they're making a difference:

1. Streamlined Communications: Nurses can send messages directly to patient rooms, reducing the need for frequent in-person visits. This simple feature can save countless steps and precious time.
   
2. Efficient Patient Education: Healthcare providers can deliver customized educational content right to the patient's bedside, ensuring consistent and timely information.
3. Real-time Surveys: Gather patient feedback while they're still in the facility. This allows for immediate improvements in care and higher patient satisfaction.
4. Targeted Messaging: From facility-wide announcements to department-specific updates, smart TVs enable efficient communication at every level.
5. Reduced Redundancies: By automating routine tasks, nurses can focus on what they do best – providing high-quality patient care.

The Impact on Nursing Satisfaction

By implementing smart TV technology, healthcare facilities can:

• Allow nurses to work at the top of their license, focusing on complex care rather than routine tasks.

• Reduce the physical demands of the job by minimizing unnecessary room visits.

• Improve patient satisfaction, which in turn boosts nurse morale.

• Provide tools that make the job more manageable, potentially reducing burnout.
