Duration: 1 hour
With the surge in patients due to the recent pandemic, clinicians time is at a premium, and as the most frequent users of the EHR they’re also the most susceptible to losing valuable time each day having to repeatedly log into the EHR with usernames and passwords.
A recent study released in the Journal of Hospital Administration (JHA) sought to quantify the amount of time that single sign-on liberated for hospitalists to care for patients. Conducted across 19 facilities in the CHRISTUS Health network, the study found that SSO liberated nearly 13,000 hours of keyboard time for hospitalists annually, totaling nearly $1.4 million in savings per year.
The results are truly impressive, and underscore the remarkable return on investment (ROI) delivered by a single sign-on solution.
Lead author on the article, George Gellert MD, MPH, MPA, former CMIO at CHRISTUS Health, will dive into the truly impressive results.
By joining the webinar you’ll learn:
- The methods used to measure the login durations prior to and after SSO implementation
- Hear the results following the SSO implementation – hours and dollars saved
- The outcome as hospitalists gained meaningful amounts of time back to care for patients
