Setting a VISION for Healthcare Communications and Workflow

“A Vision without a Task is but a dream. A Task without a Vision is drudgery.”

From a Church in Sussex, England c. 1730

Exploring how vision affects your everyday activities and guides your overall strategy is fascinating.



We believe that a hospital should have a vision for their communications workflow. A phrase or sentence that embodies the desire of the facility to achieve high patient satisfaction, improve safety, and reduce overall workload for their caregivers.

Breaking down communications processes and linking them to the vision for the future communiations models allows you to improve your processes in a balanced methodology. Let us show you how.

All Systems Communication Process Evaluation

We believe that healthcare can be empowered by information. We believe that communications and audible alarms are critical. Creating efficient and effective workflow is crucial. All Systems has developed a unique process that evaluates workflow in a hospital environment. We have found that very often misapplication of technology hinders efficiency.

All Systems has identified the metrics that establish the most applicable style of communication in a hospital as it pertains to wireless integration. The All Systems Communications Process Evaluation (CPE) software will launch on March 26th. It takes a set of questions that when answered will produce a report that will provide the most applicable use of wireless communication technology in a hospital.

We have further developed a full evaluation package that uses manufacturing techniques to evaluate current workflow, anlyzes it for bottlenecks, and recommends best practices based on their specific needs. Our professional staff will work with hospital staff to Listen, Analyze, and Innovate a solution.

We have augmented this process by creating a The All Systems Audit Process with the Communications Balanced Scorecard. We have developed a unique process and software package that takes ascii files, raw data, etc and automatically produces the Balanced Scorecard and trend analysis.
