Case Study: Virginia Mason Medical Center Reduces Time-to-Treatment by 22%

BACKGROUND

Virginia Mason Medical Center is a nonprofit health care system based in King County, Seattle, serving the central Puget Sound region and Yakima area.

For example, data that helps determine the severity of the stroke is crucial for identifying the appropriate treatment to prepare for, but sometimes this information is not relayed to all team members. Virginia Mason understood that reliable communication is key, and sought to provide a resource to that would help them collaborate in real-time to treat stroke patients.
