Sunderland Signals And End To The NHS Paperchase, UK

�City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust has introduced new software to help oneself its medical secretaries handle all clinical correspondence electronically.


Following successful pilot trials at the hospital, MedisecTRUST software will be used to mechanically generate and centrally computer memory all clinic attendance letters and free letters. The new coming promises to improve standards of patient care, thin out risk and save the medical secretaries hours of time and effort every week.


As part of a Trustwide modernisation program, digital dictation will besides be incorporated, where consultants dictate their file notes into a centrally managed service exploitation a digital dictaphone.


Storing information electronically removes the burden of analogue tapes and chicago the usual NHS paperchase, as Tom Rothwell, managing director of software developers Medisec Software explains.


"Before implementation of the scheme, hospital staff would have to physically locate patient case notes and lookup through them to respond the changeless stream of GP, clinician and patient enquiries about test results, changes in medication or appointment queries. Now they can answer most questions instantly on the headphone. The increased quality of the letters will also reduce the number of telephone queries from primary care."


The new system automates many of the most function tasks performed by medical secretaries, serving them to produce letters and forms much more quickly and efficiently. It downloads the most up-to-date patient information (such as date of birth, address, NHS numeral and GP) from the hospital's main Patient Administration System into a varsity letter template. Medical secretaries then add the file notes already dictated into the system by the relevant consultant.


As well as significantly improving the content and presentation of symmetry across different departments, the centralised approach also gives medical secretaries instant access to the latest patient role information, such as clinic attendance, future appointments and admissions.


Additionally, automatically populating letters with data from the PAS and storing information centrally reduces the risk of errors and helps the Trust to meet its clinical governing targets, as it eliminates the need to headstone in information.
