Events include the American Organization of Nurse Executives annual
meeting, the Healthcare IT Institute, and AMDIS Annual
Physician-Computer Connection Symposium
SPRINGFIELD, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Spok,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Spok Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:
SPOK) and a global leader in healthcare communications, today announced
that key executives will be participating in several upcoming events,
including the American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) annual
meeting this week, and the Healthcare IT Institute and Association of
Medical Director of Information Systems Physician-Computer Connection
Symposium (AMDIS PCC Symposium) in June.
“A common challenge hospitals face today is having numerous, disjointed
communication solutions that lack integration for optimal care team
communication,” said Vincent D. Kelly, president and chief executive
officer of Spok Holdings, Inc. “At these events, we will discuss why
this approach can create inefficiencies, higher costs, and frustration.
Spok will demonstrate how an enterprise-wide communication platform can
make care team collaboration easier and help improve patient outcomes.”
During AONE,
April 10-13 in San Diego, Spok chief nursing officer Dr. Nat’e Guyton,
RN, MSN, CPHIMS, NE-BC, will present a Sunrise Session to nurse leaders
titled “How to Leverage Technology to Prioritize Care Delivery.” Mobile
devices help streamline care, but it’s a challenge for nurses to know if
an alarm or notification is critical, high, normal, or low priority. Dr.
Guyton will share how an integrated communication platform can help
nurses leverage devices and systems for care prioritization, which
reduces alarm fatigue and improves nurse retention.
At the Healthcare
IT Institute event, June 2-4 in San Antonio, Darrell Messersmith,
chief medical information officer and chief information officer at Vail
Health, will present a session titled “Vail Health Takes a
Future-focused, Workflow-driven Approach to Improve Communications.” He
will share his experience implementing a unified platform that improves
care collaboration throughout the health system, including strategies
employed and lessons learned.
Spok executives will discuss clinical workflow challenges and explore
the future of healthcare communications with physicians and other
clinical leaders in a focus group at the AMDIS
PCC Symposium, held June 18-21 in Ojai, California.
At all three events, speakers will focus on how an enterprise
communication platform, such as Spok Care Connect®, can solve
many of the communication challenges hospitals face today. For more
