Lucidoc helps healthcare organizations mitigate risks to patient safety and decrease sanctions from JCAHO audits by automating the entire document life cycle, integrating policy and procedure management with contracts and physician privileges, and ensuring best practices with competency tracking features.
"Our mission is to heal, comfort and promote health in the communities we serve and as the largest public hospital district in California, our 800-square mile community looks to us to ensure safe care that meets or exceeds defined regulatory standards. With Lucidoc we are eradicating the administrative burden of ensuring compliance and can more quickly and easily enable thousands of our care providers access to current and compliant care standards."
-President and CEO, Palomar Pomerado Health
The 1999 Institute of Medicine report To Err is Human and subsequent studies confirmed that inadequate procedural information is a significant cause of the 50,000 to 100,000 preventable hospital deaths each year. The Lucidoc system provides healthcare staff with instant access, from any location, to accurate procedural information, care directions and contracts they need. Information access and accuracy are the keys to providing consistent, quality care.
JCAHO requires that policies and protocols be kept up-to-date, and the pressure of satisfying that requirement weighs heavily on healthcare leadership. With the Lucidoc solution you can automate the review and updating processes so that your staff can concentrate on quality management and care rather than on performing an endless paper shuffle.
The CFO at one hospital said:
"We will soon be undergoing a JCAHO review. I feel confident that with Lucidoc we are prepared - that there is no way the review board will find anything amiss. And avoiding just one sanction pays for the system ten times over in terms of both cost and time saved."
