As part of the Digital Innovation Center at the University of La Trobe, the innovation of Cisco Central Melbourne set out to define digital literacy for medical care. With this initiative, the University of Cisco and the Trobe examined how the medical care force can be more digitally driven, with data and technology creating valuable ideas, improved clinical efficiencies and knowledge flow to value for patients.
Digital literacy is using technology and tools to lead to a more efficient use of staff, better care coordination, better patient experience and better business performance against key performance indicators (KPI), such as: bed billing rate, average, average, average, average, andvenge.
The general panorama is not just about technology. Digital culture also focuses on social and cultural issues, communication and collaboration.
The potential of digital culture in medical care
This figure shows a group of knowledge domains necessary to establish a digital culture and create patient value from data and ideas. Tasks such as a holistic approach, the combination of knowledge domains, key technologies and central learning objectives are added to a requirement for practical learning and digital and data literacy.
Content learning settings for different levels of workers and leadership would allow this map to apply in any organization, at any level and for executives to learn together with their workforce.
Implementation of a digital culture within its workforce
Through this initiative, a consistent topic that we recognize is that the implementation of services for devices and digital data can be a challenge for medical care organizations.
For medical care organizations that seek to boost a digital culture in the workplace, one of the most expensive and dynamic challenges is the management of people and their devices. Here are five things to consider by optimizing operations with a digital approach:
- The waiting time and the duration of the stay increase when the personnel and data of the patient cannot be located quickly and precisely
- Situational consciousness is a key characteristic or a real -time health system (RTHS), which is a goal of creating a digital culture
- The devices are fundamental for RTHS efficiencies
- The integration of technologies and data with existing systems and workflows can be complex, exensive and challenging, and not reach expectations, because
- Continuous improvement will be required through the management of the project portfolio and collaborative work groups
To create a true digital culture within its workforce of medical care, you must consider how:
- Create value within specific organizational initiatives through the identification of use cases where devices and data improve workflows and decision -making
- Avoid the challenges of interoperability between data sources and locations when addressing possible gaps
- Recognize and respond to delicate problems associated with people and devices, such as privacy conerns
In Cisco’s Innovation Central Melbourne, we have programs such as MasterTech, where leaders collaborate to create and pilot technological solutions to take their workplaces.
We appreciate the opportunity to associate with your medical care organization to help you promote a digital literacy culture. For more information about the Cisco Central Melbourne Innovation Center and how we can support it better, contact me directly
