Philips customer, alarm management
Quantifiable results; real-world applications
We help provide easy access to timely patient status information for multi-tasking caregivers on the go
“We were uncertain about how the training would be received as our staff is used to in-person sessions. However, when we completed the education component, our staff told us, of all the training they have had for the new hospital, this was by far the best.”
Leader, Clinical Integration Systems
A large IDN and Philips partnered to deploy remote training during the initial COVID-19 surge
“The quality of the training was beyond our expectation. Every detail was accounted for and every scenario planned for. It was an extremely smooth transition to the remote learning model. In some ways, it was even easier for our nursing staff to participate.”
PICU Clinical Educator
Philips and larger IDN keep optimization efforts moving forward amid COVID-19 shutdowns
“We weren’t sure if a Virtual Kaizen would work, but the project was extremely important to our care system and patient community, so putting it on hold indefinitely wasn’t an option. We decided continuing with a virtual model was worth a try and trusted that Philips was as committed to optimizing the virtual Kaizen as we were to optimizing our telemetry center.”
Philips customer, large IDN
Using a remote model to help healthcare heroes access training when their time is more valuable than ever
The virtual training model was so successful for our team that when we had the option to return to onsite training, our staff chose to continue with the remote model. The flexibility and customization it allowed us to achieve was a tremendous benefit and saved our staff significant time without compromising their training goals.”
