Through preserving a touch base, IGNITE’s MD in the Room project aims to achieve better communication between care teams and nurses — which translates into better patient experience (team ratings, satisfaction) and care (length of stay, delays in care), a reduction of provider paging volumes, and a potential preservation of personal protective equipment by eliminating extra patient room entries.

The aim of IGNITE’s MDR project is to improve the efficiency of general medicine housestaff MDR through a structured reporting tool for residents, and to improve interprofessional communication through clearly identifying MDR staff name, role and contact information at each MDR.
