Patient Records in a Hospital
Situation – Clinicians monitor patients’ progress and record vital information on patient records throughout their stay.
Speed – Much of this data is time-critical, and access to this information is crucial to make important decisions regarding patients’ well-being.
Challenge – Nurses check on patients, fill out forms, enter the data manually into the computer to check data, and then contact the patient’s doctor to provide an update on patient.
Opportunity – The nurse fills out the patient record form with a digital pen and sends the information via a mobile phone or computer docking station directly into the hospital system.
Efficient Process – The patient’s details can be verified right away; any data-critical information can be flagged in the system and immediately sent via SMS to the doctor on call.
Result and Benefit – The authorized hospital team can access data online through the web-based DPP portal and make faster decisions on behalf of the patient. For time critical data an SMS feedback can deliver information messages to mobile phones.
