Case Study: Nebraska Medicine achieves faster patient discharge notifications with Connexall

Nebraska Medicine cuts discharge time from 3 hours 30 minutes with Connexall

Nebraska Medicine was successfully using Connexall for nurse call and patient monitoring notifications but faced a challenge with patient throughput. The specific issue was a lack of real-time alerts to nursing staff when a physician entered discharge orders into the EMR, which resulted in a frustratingly slow discharge process for patients, families, and staff.

To solve this, Connexall implemented a real-time notification system that alerts the assigned RN and lead RN the moment a discharge order is entered. This solution dramatically streamlined the discharge process. As a result, Connexall helped reduce the baseline median discharge time from 3 hours and 30 minutes on some units, significantly improving efficiency and satisfaction.
