"On average, the researchers found hospitals could share 4.6 types of information within the same organization and 2.7 types of information between different organizations."
This quote is from a recent study in Becker's Hospital Review, and we see evidence of it every day. Organizations prioritize addressing intra-organization communication and data exchange over inter-organization communication and data exchange.
There are many reasons for this, and all are not self serving.
But care providers in different organizations need a regional communication network for real time team communication and collaboration. Of the 400,000 deaths due to miscommunication each year, 80% are due to medical errors during transitions of care. And, those risks increase for transfers between hospitals.
For example, a recent study found that stroke patients who needed to be transferred waited an average of 46 to 133 minutes before beginning treatment at the transfer facility. When 2 million neurons die each minute a patient is having a stroke, we need a better way to communicate and exchange data between facilities to speed up treatment times.
The good news is this is possible now. We need to make it a priority. It's about people.
