Too much of a good thing? How to avoid the tech trap and prevent staff burnout

from McKnight's Podcast · host Jim Berklan, Allison Rainey

In this episode of the Reimagining Senior Living and Long-Term Care series, Jim sits down with Allison Rainey, Head of Nursing and Clinical Informatics at MatrixCare, to discuss a side of technology that often gets overlooked–when is it too much? While technology plays a critical role in supporting staff, too many disconnected systems, overwhelming amounts of data, and inefficient workflows can lead to staff burnout rather than relief. Allison shares insights on how to ensure technology is truly supporting caregivers–from selecting solutions that integrate seamlessly into workflows to continuously evaluating whether systems are helping or hindering care teams. She also highlights strategies to prevent information overload to ensure data is actionable rather than adding to unnecessary complexity. Tune in to hear practical strategies for avoiding the “Tech Trap” and ensuring technology remains a tool for support–not another burden on staff. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
