DIGITALBRIDGE ON-CALL SCHEDULING SYSTEM, FIRST-OF-A-KIND SCHEDULING SOLUTION PROVIDES IMMEDIATE CARE IN EMERGENCIES
DigitalBridge, a provider of protected information sharing solutions, has signed a contract with the Arizona Ocular Trauma Service (AzOTS) to implement DigitalBridge On-Call Scheduling System (DBDOCS).
The DBDOCS system allows immediate, dynamic, and auditable on-call physician scheduling in the event of a medical emergency for affiliated and non-affiliated health organizations spanning a large geographic region or metropolitan area. Emergency Departments in these broad settings can utilize this advanced application to send and receive emergency call alerts through text messages (SMS), page, email and other digital context instantly to a physician’s digital device(s), regardless of the physician’s particular health system affiliation. When a change in scheduling or an emergency occurs, requiring a particular physicians’ or specialists’ attention, authorized personnel can initiate an electronic data exchange, quickly determining who is on-call within the physician network at the time of the incident. The application is easy to use and intuitive, allowing quick access to physician biographical information, credentials, hospital privileges, relevant telephone, pager and mobile phone numbers, as well as email addresses, to ensure direct, immediate contact is made.
DBDOCS solves one of the most persistent problems plaguing the health care industry: the ability to help physicians respond to emergency situations in a timely, efficient manner, ensuring the best case response to that emergency and contribute to improved patient outcomes. It extends physicians’ reach to unaffiliated hospital systems or networks, providing access that has never before been available. The incidence of human error in emergency communication situations is all too common. DBDOCS can reduce the possibility of human error, while also providing a complete audit trail, so failures in process can be thoroughly and accurately examined.
