Patient Status at a Glance: Return on Investment Summary
Patient status at a glance
To help NHS trusts improve information management on wards, Computacenter has teamed up with health software specialist Cayder to provide an end-to-end solution for patient status at a glance.
Aligned to the NHS Institute of Innovation and Improvement’s Productive Ward initiative, the solution will provide your organisation with rapid access to important patient information.
The OpenWard software supports the patient journey from admission to discharge, and provides a real-time view of open, occupied and closed beds per ward via interactive whiteboards, digital plasma screens and desktop computers.
Releasing time to care
As well as helping you purchase the OpenWard solution and any supporting display hardware, Computacenter can also provide implementation and integration services to ensure you maximise the value of the new technology on your wards.
By making it easier for staff to view and update the status of patients, your organisation will be able to:
- Devote more resources to direct patient care
- Simplify shift handovers in wards
- Limit patient waiting times and lists
- Save up to £1 million a year through improved bed utilisation
Time-consuming administration
With many administrative tasks still reliant on manual processes, medical staff in the NHS are finding it increasingly difficult to devote quality time to patient care. For example, according to figures from the NHS Institute of innovation and Improvement, ward nurses in acute settings spend an average of just 40% of their time on direct patient care.
One of the biggest administrative tasks facing nurses is tracking the status of patients and availability of beds. Traditionally based on a static whiteboard, this process is time-consuming and can result in transcription errors.
