DYNAMIC FIELD SERVICE: HOME CARE CLINICIANS
AND MEDICAL DEVICE SUPPLY
What are the characteristics of dynamic field operations in community healthcare services?
It extends across the dimensions of service users, employees, processes, and technology. Community health services are under pressure to provide the best possible care while keeping costs down.
Ensuring timely services for patients is becoming increasingly difficult with the increasing shortage of skilled workers. Your employees may be delivering pharmaceuticals, deploying home care clinicans to virtual wards, or servicing critical equipment and oxygen supplies.
These points characterise modern, dynamic field service. What is increasingly important in all areas is the topic of sustainability: Sustainable recruitment, retention, costs, lone working, and optimised travel time.
For each of these areas, we have filtered out the central points from our experience with our own customers in the medical field, all that constitute high quality in field service management today.
With this guide, you can assess how well your field service management is positioned and where your next project focus can find answers.
