Notifications are a valuable tool for quickly disseminating important information to all users within your Space, in real time. In this article, we will explain what notifications are and guide you on how to effectively utilise them to manage clinical guidelines, share news, updates, alerts, and other critical information within your healthcare setting.
Why Use Notifications?
Notifications are particularly useful in various scenarios, including:
-
Critical Incident Reporting: If you have findings from a critical incident or serious event and need to share outcomes and learnings with your team, push notifications can help you quickly communicate this information.
-
Guideline Updates: Notify your department about any new guidelines or updates to existing ones. This ensures that your team is always working with the latest information.
-
Rota Updates: Keep your team informed about changes to the upcoming month's rota, helping everyone plan their schedules effectively.
-
Mandatory Training: If there's a need for mandatory training, notifications can serve as a reminder and ensure that all team members are aware of the requirements.
