Creating Safer, More Efficient Healthcare Environments
In 2022, the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK has a shortage of 90,000 full-time staffers and by 2030, the U.S. will experience a shortfall of more than half a million nurses. Faced with near-overwhelming workloads and countless management and operational details, hospitals, and healthcare facilities need to explore new technologies to optimize all resources at their disposal.
