It’s not that doctors are technologically averse. Instead, it’s because technology has become another mandatory hurdle in providing quality patient care. More and more physicians are becoming frustrated with the subpar usability of Health IT Tools.
What should be simplifying the process and providing meaningful data is increasingly becoming a headache. Systems aren’t comparable. Technology is evolving at a pace that is costing facilities in unusable “tech debt.” Doctors can’t pull basic reports. And the “IT guy,” whose responsibility centers around printing woes, is now required to screen policies & procedures, configure personal mobile devices, maintain interoperability standards — all while staying HIPAA compliant.
Bozeman, MT - May 26th, 2015 - Pulsara has just released their "Biggest, most robust release yet" and are anticipating an improved user experience and case times that are even faster than before. "We are psyched about the Pulsara 4.0 upgrade. You’ll see the complete overhaul of the look and feel with improved workflow to make your job simpler. AND, we built this all while keeping the stuff that made Pulsara awesome in the first place," said Vice President of Development Erich Hannan.

The One Thing You Should be Thankful For This Week ...
... Nurses!
“Do you want to speak to the doctor in charge … or the nurse who actually knows what’s going on?”
Starting tomorrow is National Nurses Week and here at Pulsara, we couldn’t be more proud of our team of in-house nursing clinicians. Warning: Click their headshots only if you are prepared to be humbled by the incredible accomplishments this bunch has achieved!

I hear it all the time … “We already have a great system.” or “Our processes are already streamlined.”
While that’s good and dandy, there is a problem that lies in the statement itself.
“We already have a great system” … compared to what?
“Our processes are already streamlined” … compared to what?
Quantifiable data would answer this question. Ironically, these types of statements are more consistently heard from suburban and rural facilities. And, while these facilities are honestly working towards a positive outcome, it’s difficult to track progress. It’s time consuming to gather data, review processes, and report the difficult truth.
Editor's Note: About a month ago, we published a fantastic piece that offers several tips for how leaders can better prepare their teams to implement change. Complementing that piece is the following article, which sheds light on why all humans resist change and how you as an individual can learn to embrace it rather than fear it. Special thanks to Kathy Walsh for writing today's blog post. You can connect with her on LinkedIn.
Thomas Alva Edison is considered one of the most innovative and successful inventors. He is credited with inventing the carbon filament light bulb, the platform for modern motion picture technology, an early form of the X-ray machine, the phonograph, and more. Yet he was ultimately forced out of his own company because he was resistant to change.
How is it that some of the most creative and innovative people are THE MOST resistant to change?
