Healthcare Real Estate Development Firm, Simone Health, Shares How Cloud Computing Helps Internal Hospital Communications

Aimed to empower healthcare providers achieve world-class outcomes in a rapidly changing healthcare environment, healthcare real estate development firm, Simone Health, uses their knowledge share how cloud computing helps internal hospital communications.

Cloud computing uses a network of remote servers through the internet to store, manage and process data. As opposed to the previously used method of storing data and information on a local server, this approach for internal hospital communication provides more flexibility, security, and streamline connection.

  • Flexibility. Cloud computing provides full access to vital information anywhere and anytime. The flexibility of instant access, as well as an unlimited capacity for data allows for healthcare providers to be able to accurately address patient needs in a shorter amount of time.
  • Security. Security concerns are without a doubt raised when it comes to the storage of confidential patient information within a healthcare facility. Where hospitals choose to store their information is essential to keeping important patient details safe and secure from outside sources. Cloud computing is a HIPAA business associate and has advanced security measures put in place to monitor and maintain the confidentiality of healthcare data. Designed to protect any health information or medical records healthcare providers choose to store within the cloud, cloud computing provides a better level of security than ever before.
  • Streamline Collaboration. Streamlining collaboration is another benefit of utilizing cloud computing. By using cloud software, healthcare professionals can now edit, collaborate, and comment on the same documents, at the same time regardless of location. This advanced level of collaboration cuts out any confusion between doctors and nurses in order to achieve a seamless healthcare experience from start to finish.

“Cloud computing provides numerous tools to improve internal communications within healthcare facilities. Increased security measures and extreme flexibility for holding and sharing information, as well as more advanced ways for healthcare teams to communicate will undoubtedly reshape the healthcare industry for years to come,” said Joe Simone, President of Simone Development Companies.

Mixed-Use Development Company, Simone Health, Explains Why 5G Matters for Healthcare Industry

For the healthcare industry, staying up to date with the latest generation of network technology is essential for providing top patient care. A 5G network brings flexibility, accessibility and most importantly, has the ability to revolutionize healthcare. New York based mixed-use development company, Simone Health, explains three reasons why 5G matters for the healthcare industry.

5G Is Scalable.

The fifth generation of wireless technology, 5G, presents the capacity to handle high volumes of healthcare information. The scalability of 5G is able to support an increased size that surpasses the capabilities of the previously used 4G network. The 5G network operates at frequencies approximately one thousand times faster than 4G allowing for mixed-use medical facilities to effectively handle process more or less information when necessary. With this advancement, healthcare is going to be taken to new heights.

5G Increases Patient Accessibility.

Patient accessibility has become fundamental to proper healthcare. 5G offers the latest generation of network technology engineered to have the highest speed of data available, while simultaneously connecting patients directly to their own healthcare. Telemedicine and online tools will now grant patients the ability to take control of their healthcare files and information with internet speeds guaranteeing connection anytime and anywhere.

5G Allows Doctors to Treat Patients in Remote Locations.

5G has the ability to revolutionize healthcare by taking it farther than just the hospital walls. Introducing an entirely new approach to home healthcare, 5G has the capability to record activity and vital levels of patients outside of any healthcare facility. For those in rural areas, 5G technology also has the potential to eliminate the need for time-consuming travel. With the advancement of remote home and health monitoring systems, healthcare professionals can now provide excellent patient care with the same technology and tools in remote locations.

“In the healthcare industry, remaining up to date with the latest technology is integral for delivering quality healthcare. Implementing 5G technology has the potential to improve the way we deliver healthcare and transform patient lives,” said Joe Simone, President of Simone Development Companies.

Medical Real Estate Developers, Simone Health, Discuss How Medical Facility Design Promote Employee Satisfaction

There are a lot of factors that go into a good design: light and noise considerations, prime spatial awareness, easy wayfinding, logical lay-outs… the list goes on. Designing healthcare facilities comes with its own challenges and considerations that many other buildings do not, making the design of medical buildings all the more important when it comes to the details and process-design.

However, designing the right medical building can reap a huge number of benefits, not only for patients, but for staff members. Medical real estate developers, Simone Health, discuss how medical facility design can promote employee satisfaction down below.

Staff-Only Outdoor Space: Incorporating outdoor space into healthcare facilities is an up and coming design trend, but there’s a way to take its benefits to the next level: providing a separate outdoor space for employees. Outdoor spaces are already proven to reduce stress-levels and improve work performance, but there is often one communal outdoor space for all visitors, patients, and staff to relax in. It would be highly beneficial to your staff well-being if there was a section for only staff members, where they can escape from the eyes of patients and their visitors. It’ll provide even more stress-reduction, and allow them to go back to caring for patients with a smile on their face.

Reduced Noise Levels: The noise level of a healthcare center, especially hospitals, if often too loud of a decibel level to be relaxing. Healthcare workers are in a high-stress and noisy environment every hour they’re working, those of which are typically very long. A design consideration that can benefit staff and patients alike is proper soundproofing throughout the entire medical facility. This will bring down the decibel level and provide a less stressful and comfortable environment for everyone, allowing employees to improve their focus and service.

Improved Patient Wayfinding: You may think that improving patient wayfinding only benefits patients and their visitors. Well, there’s a huge benefit in this design consideration for employees as well: not having to deal with lost, wandering patients meandering around the hallways. Ensuring there’s a system in place that allows patients and their visitors to find their way around the facility unassisted allows staff to focus on their tasks and avoid unauthorized folks from entering hallways they’re not supposed to.

Standardization of Medical Tools: One final design consideration is the standardization of medical tools. This is especially helpful in high-volume clinics and emergency departments, where staff members need to act urgently. Having a standard set-up in every patient room ensures that medical staff always know where something is, no matter what room they’re in or what kind of patient issue they’re dealing with. This can reduce stress in these often life-or-death situations, improving the overall employee experience.

“Happy staff make for happy patients. If you want your patient satisfaction levels consistently high, it’s essential to pay attention to the concerns of your staff members who are caring for them. Incorporate some of the suggestions above to give your medical staff the work environment they deserve so they can provide the best service to your patients in return,” said Joe Simone, President of Simone Development Companies.
