If you asked 100 people, 99 of them would say that technology has made our world progressively more efficient and productive in almost every facet of modern life. If you asked those same people, they’d also say that healthcare has been one of the industries most impacted by technological advances but that it still needs to be grounded in a high-touch, human approach - something computers can’t do.
With all of the attempts, some successful, many failures (at least at delivering on their promised improvements), can technology possibly improve a patient’s healthcare journey in a human way and get nurses back to patient-focused care?
On this episode of The Central Line podcast, we talk with the CEO of a company that is doing just that. Dave Bennett and the team at pCare have found a way to balance the benefits of technology while maintaining the human touch in bedside patient care, not to mention freeing up valuable time for nursing staff to focus on patient care rather than drowning in administrative work.
