How St. John’s Lutheran Ministries Digitized Their Infection Prevention Practice

Overview

St. John’s Lutheran Ministries is synonymous with delivering exceptional care in the Pacific Northwest. But with paper-based processes, the organization struggled to gain a complete view of infections within their six-building facility. After implementing PointClickCare’s Infection Prevention Control, however, staff transitioned from spreadsheets to toggleable screens.

Incomplete Visibility

As the staffing crisis continues to disrupt care delivery across the healthcare ecosystem, many providers are looking to digital tools to solve inefficiencies. This was the case at St John’s Lutheran Ministries, as the organization sought to digitize their infection control process to meet legal mandates. With existing paper-based processes, full-facility visibility was limited, creating blindspots.

From Spreadsheets to Screens

With Infection Prevention Control’s dashboards, St. John’s Ministries gains a complete picture of their resident population, enabling them to take preventative measures if an outbreak does occur. In addition, the PointClickCare solution eliminated the need for cumbersome paper-based documentation, giving staff more time to what matters most to the organization’s mission: Delivering care to those who need it most.
