April 14, 2022<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013<\/p>

Canadian hospitals are facing unique challenges. Between nurse shortages, recovering from COVID-19 and the ever-mounting costs, our healthcare systems and people need help.<\/p>

Making hospitals a better place for patients, their families and clinicians is not an easy task, but we must begin moving forward. Doing so requires innovative and multifaceted solutions.<\/p>

Across the board, patients and clinicians are looking for updated technology in hospitals \u2013 the kind of modernization that puts them in control and makes for a human-centered, effortless and integrated experience. Hospital systems are looking for better ways to increase efficiencies, unlock data and reduce costs. As decision-makers look to the future, digital transformation can offer healthcare a new world of solutions to these difficult problems.<\/p>

When it comes to hospital technology, HealthHub\u2019s myHealthHub<\/a> is changing the game. Here\u2019s how myHealthHub supports clinicians, patients and hospitals systems \u2013 right from the bedside.<\/p>

1. How myHealthHub Empowers Patients & Their Caregivers<\/h2>
\u00a0<\/div>

Enabling Patient Engagement<\/h3>

90% of Canadians say they want technology that puts them in greater control of their health, enabling them to achieve better health outcomes.<\/em><\/p>

myHealthHub enables engagement by providing patients with easy access to verified health information and tools to self-manage care. This has been shown to lead to better decisions and a 54% reduction in medical errors. Engaged patients are also 47% less likely to be readmitted to hospital within 30 days.<\/p>

Accessing Information<\/h3>

92% of patients report they want convenient access to personal health information.<\/em><\/p>

By enabling patients to securely access a patient portal at the bedside, myHealthHub provides patients with greater visibility into their care plan. Plus, patients can use myHealthHub to easily search a large database of verified patient education resources to better understand their conditions and make informed choices.<\/p>

Supporting Mental Health<\/h3>

Isolation impacts nearly 1\/3 of seniors and is exacerbated during hospital stays. This has profound negative impacts on stress, anxiety, cognitive decline and depression. Other patients experience similar challenges.<\/em><\/p>

In addition to entertainment, myHealthHub provides options for patient engagement and empowerment. It helps patients stay connected with their family and friends though video chat, internet, TV and social media access. It can also provide access to real-time mental health programs, such as resources at the bedside, helping patients maintain good mental health during their hospitalization.<\/p>

Fostering Equity<\/h3>

40% of patients feel they don\u02bct have access to the information or health services they need. <\/em><\/p>

Ensuring myHealthHub is offered to every patient during their hospital stay helps to reduce inequity by ensuring all patients have access to free content. Patients don\u2019t need to rely on their personal devices and data plans, but instead can access quality educational resources, tools and entertainment right at the bedside.<\/p>

Supporting Caregivers<\/h3>

Fear and anxiety are very real experiences for patients when admitted to hospital. Visitor restrictions add additional stress. This can negatively impact patients\u2019 experiences with the hospital, as well as their capacity to engage in their own care.<\/em><\/p>

myHealthHub offers video chat and secure, real-time access to personal health information to help patients remain connected to their caregivers, families and friends. This relieves anxiety and improves satisfaction, care outcomes and mental health, while also supporting caregivers during shared decision-making.<\/p>

Strengthening Discharge Planning<\/h3>

40% of patient say they don\u2019t receive enough information during discharge. This can lead to confusion, errors and higher rates of readmission.<\/em><\/p>

myHealthHub empowers patients to view their discharge summary at the bedside, making it easy for a nurse to walk through it with them. Patients can also use myHealthHub to send an electronic copy of the information to themselves or a caregiver at home.<\/p>

2. How myHealthHub Supports Clinicians<\/h2>
\u00a0<\/div>

Enhancing Patient Safety & Quality of Care<\/h3>

Clinicians want to provide quality care and ensure patient safety. But current barriers, such as multiple applications and record-keeping systems, make this difficult.<\/em><\/p>

myHealthHub brings the hospital\u2019s existing EHR to the bedside. This saves time and makes it easier for clinicians to access documentation, patient education, medication reconciliation and clinical decision-making \u2013 all in one place.<\/p>

Supporting Mental Health & Reducing Burnout<\/h3>

Reducing administrative workload for clinicians has been identified as one of the top solutions to burnout. Some studies show clinicians spend 2 hours of electronic documentation for every 1 hour of direct patient interaction.<\/em><\/p>

myHealthHub offers a digital tool that reduces frustration and stress for nurses by allowing them to access information in real-time at the bedside, rather than sharing computers in the hallway or at a nurse\u2019s station. Nurses who are satisfied with their clinical systems are 58% less likely to feel burnt-out.<\/p>

Facilitating Efficient Clinical Workflows<\/h3>

Daily challenges experienced by clinicians include multiple logins, lack of integration with current systems and limited equipment available.<\/em><\/p>

myHealthHub provides a digital hub that brings together all important information and existing hospital apps and delivers it on one device, at the bedside. This eliminates waiting time and reduces login troubles. It also helps reduce documentation errors and duplication. Over half of nurses surveyed experienced an increase in continuity of patient care, productivity and quality of patient care.<\/p>

Providing Point-of-Care Access to EHRs<\/h3>

Nurses report that fragmented and siloed health records continue to be the highest barrier to achieving value from EHRs.<\/em><\/p>

myHealthHub provides quick, real-time access to the EHRs, allowing nurses to read and document information at the point-of-care and to access virtual desktops at the bedside. Nurses report that this has increased their ability to complete patient information and reduced the number of tests ordered for patients.<\/p>

Empowering Communication & Translations<\/h3>

Poor communication processes contribute to errors, delays and inefficiencies. Translation services rely on outdated third-party services with limited availability, long response times and growing operational costs.<\/em><\/p>

myHealthHub modernizes communication between clinicians and patients to improve access, speed and accuracy of information. In fact, 61% of nurses report it’s essential to communicate daily with healthcare teams and to have access to digital devices.<\/p>

3. How myHealthHub Supports Hospital Systems<\/h2>
\u00a0<\/div>

Improving Safety & Quality of Care<\/h3>

Varying clinical practices throughout healthcare systems leads to inconsistent outcomes for patients.<\/em><\/p>

myHealthHub provides the ability to access standards of care, clinical protocols and procedures at the bedside to improve quality and safety for all patients.<\/p>

Increasing Bed Utilization Rate<\/h3>

With surgical waitlists growing and ambulance offload delays in ED, the inefficiencies in bed utilization leads to increased length of stays, delays in diagnostics and treatments, and overwhelms the clinical staff in planning their daily care for patients. <\/em><\/p>

myHealthHub supports coordinated discharge planning, patient education and patient engagement, resulting in shorter stay lengths and lower readmission rates. Bedboards can be updated from the patient room the moment housekeeping is done, providing significant cost savings.<\/p>

Encouraging Interoperable Innovation<\/h3>

Canada\u2019s current hospital systems struggle to deal with integration and interoperability of technology.<\/em><\/p>

myHealthHub provides an open digital platform that allows for interoperable solutions at the bedside, enabling quick integration of new solutions and applications in a changing environment, while also enhancing communication across healthcare community partners. myHealthHub is highly customizable to clients\u2019 preferences and allows for the gradual adoption and growth of digital solutions.<\/p>

Reducing Impacts to the Environment & Climate Change<\/h3>

At hospitals, personal protective equipment (PPE), paper and shared devices create a large amount of waste each year. Additionally, using a different device for every application is inefficient and costly. <\/em><\/p>

myHealthHub provides a single, integrated beside terminal (IBT) that reduces reliance on paper and eliminates the need to invest in tablets and computers\/workstations on wheels (COWs\/WOWs) or the use of personal devices. Because HealthHub\u2019s IBTs remain in the rooms between uses, the need to disinfect the devices is dramatically reduced, saving time and money.<\/p>

Improving the Availability of Data & Analytics<\/h3>

Access and real-time capture of data is a challenge for most hospital systems. Canadian hospitals are lagging behind many other countries in adopting digital tools and there\u2019s considerable variation across provinces and territories. <\/em><\/p>

By creating one bedside device, myHealthHub enables easier data usage, compliance, collection, surveys, reporting and analytics, all of which can contribute to better decision-making.<\/p>

Reducing System Costs<\/h3>

Health expenditures in Canada rose by 12.8% in 2020 and by 4% per year in 2015-2019. Hospitals accounted for 25% of provincial health spending in 2021. These numbers are unsustainable.<\/em><\/p>

myHealthHub can generate 1-2% annual savings on the provincial hospital spending per year through:<\/p>
