Rio Grande Regional Hospital (RGRH) an HCA Affiliated Hospital is committed to streamlining the nursing environment and equipping our nurses with the latest technology to provide high-quality care to our patients. As an organization, we are constantly seeking innovative solutions to improve patient care and enhance the nursing experience.
At RGRH, we want our nurses to spend their time fulfilling their calling, and we are continuously introducing new technology and innovations like evidence-based clinical documentations (EBCD). EBCD gives nurses time back at the bedside by recording vital information needed to provide our patients with the best nursing care. This new way of documentation produces data to help evaluate the care of individuals as well as the different population of patients.
“Our nurses tell me they have more time to spend at the best side and less time in front of the computer,” said Theresa Escobar, MSN, RN, Director of Advanced Clinicals. “This type of technology, is transforming the nursing practice at HCA by enabling our nurses to deliver safer, higher-quality care while spending more time doing what they love – caring for our patients.”
