There's something in the air Hippo is reinvigurating the HealthCare industry providing convenient, enclosed bridges among the province's many healthcare facilities. Hippo is an automated system which helps hospitals and particularly personal care homes keep better track of the shared use of information. Accurate information for audits The importance of accurate records can't be underestimated when it comes to satisfying requirements of a healthcare accreditation agency. During an audit, the Facilities department is required to provide accurate drawings and documentation on the organization's facilities, from both a space and systems perspective. This includes being able to produce records that show where valves and other safety equipment are located throughout all buildings. Citations are often issued if proper records are not produced during inspection. Multiple citations could jeopardize accreditation and therefore reimbursements/subsidies. Because the healthcare sector is heavily regulated, care centers need a robust software to do reporting. Medical centers need to maximize reimbursements with defensible data. You need to do it right with emphasis, because you need defensible, auditable numbers. Setting standards and bench marking The information kept in Hippo has proven valuable to other departments as well. When an organization is bombarded with requests from multiple departments such as Environmental Services or Nursing stations, the goal would be to achieve increased efficiencies, through benchmarks and reports. This information also helps departments plan for future consolidations, labor and parts costs. Uniting departments one Hippo at a time Hippo can bring people closer together. Organizations feel more like one unit. Bringing multiple departments together within any facility is what Hippo does best. Environmental services, nurses, administrators and even residence are tied into our system. Simple Yet Powerful The benefits of implementing a Web-based, on-demand work order system across main facilities and satellite locations only seems right. With nothing more than existing floor plans - Hippo is implemented instantly. Hippo is a simple solution, one that is easy enough for technicians who are not sophisticated computer users. Initially our clients tend to have 1 or 2 administrators within the Hippo system. Eventually, their whole organization is using it within days. Not surprising since Hippo was primarily developed with the idea of being "simple but powerful". For example, in addition to speeding up the work order process, Hippo adds to any facility's knowledge base from the 1st and each time users log in. You can log work orders, track them by number, date, location, and who sent it. This gives you an idea of the frequency with which corrective maintenance is being performed, and identifies potential problems before they escalate. | | ||||||||||||||||
