RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J. - TelAve -- GD General Devices (GD) has released findings from a proprietary study "Identifying Gaps in Healthcare Communication." A recent survey spoke with EMS professionals, hospital staff, and state and regional healthcare teams to gain insight on current challenges and successes in communication within the emergency healthcare sector. The full study outcomes "Healthcare Team Communication Gaps Identified" is available for download now.

Key Study Results and Suggestions:

• 18% of EMS use radio to contact medical control from the field. Other teams call the hospital, call a physician directly, or use communication software. Issues include connectivity problems or long waits.
• 77.14% of hospitals receive accurate ETAs from incoming ambulances. The remaining 42.86% do not, making it difficult to notify relevant staff.
• Multi-step communication is a major source of delay. This is where a unified communication platform could help.
