University Hospital, Denver, Colorado, USA.

With the increased acuity of patients and the resultant complexity of care required, effective and efficient communication among patients, nurses, and physicians is a critical variable in patient outcomes. In recognition of the need for rapid communication between health professionals, University Hospital in Denver, Colorado, instituted a wireless telecommunication system on two medical-surgical nursing units. Evaluation research of this innovation in practice revealed a significant time savings by both nurses and clerical staff members. This time savings translates into improved patient care because skilled personnel have more time available for direct patient care.
