The future of on-call scheduling + communications: Aligning IT systems to improve the provider experience 


Wednesday, January 25th, 2023 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT  

Without centralized visibility to an accurate on-call schedule and a reliable, interconnected communication process, hospitals and health systems experience delays and miscommunications that not only frustrate providers but also risk patient care outcomes. 

In this webinar, learn how Patrick Guffey, MD, chief medical information officer at Children’s Hospital Colorado, recognized a critical need to align on-call provider scheduling and communication to achieve a standard, seamless workflow across the enterprise. By connecting provider scheduling with the organization's EHR, the Aurora, Colo., hospital achieved an accurate and fully integrated on-call system — enabling safe, secure and streamlined on-call communication while increasing resiliency and provider satisfaction.
