Following the inaugural healthcare operations summit co-hosted with KLAS Research, symplr galvanizes healthcare leaders to improve healthcare operations and patient care
HOUSTON, TX – MAY 23, 2023 – symplr®, the leader in enterprise healthcare operations software, announced the “Pledge to Advance Healthcare Operations,” a shared commitment among health system and industry leaders to improve healthcare operations with meaningful, actionable steps to increase efficiency, and reduce the administrative and operational burden for healthcare workers.
The pledge details five key tenets identified during the 2023 Healthcare Operations Summit by leaders of major health companies and hospital systems that will improve healthcare operations and patient care:
“When healthcare operations are not optimized, there is a greater risk of medical errors and associated patient morbidity and mortality,” said Linda Knodel, former chief nurse executive and senior vice president of patient care services at Kaiser Permanente and Mercy Health System. “By improving the use of healthcare operations software, we can increase the effectiveness of the workforce, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.”
By signing the pledge, healthcare leaders are committing to work across the industry with clinicians, technology partners, and colleagues to advance healthcare operations and enable frontline healthcare workers to spend more time delivering exceptional patient care.
“Aligning ourselves as an industry is a critical step in improving patient care,” said BJ Schaknowski, CEO of symplr. “Through this pledge and our work with leading healthcare organizations, we aim to standardize healthcare operations and accelerate the value in automation and innovation to bolster our healthcare workforce. We are proud to lead the charge.”
