Healthcare staff productivity tools

Information and communications technology (ICT) can help healthcare staff to work smarter and leave them with more time for patient care. Today NextiraOne is delivering solutions that enable clinical staff to access patient information online and in real time using tablet PCs and laptops. So, X-rays and lab results can be securely stored online and authorised professionals can view them as soon as they are available – and from wherever they happen to be.

Most of the new productivity tools in healthcare do one or more of four things:

1. They significantly reduce the time it takes for lab results or X-rays to be received by the treating physician. Particularly in accident and emergency departments, this speeds treatment, reduces patient turnaround times, cuts waiting times, and raises patient satisfaction scores.
2. They save healthcare professionals time walking around the hospital or travelling between sites by delivering critical information to them wherever they are, on or off the premises. This allows them to devote more hours to quality patient care.
3. They allow hospital and family doctors – and, where appropriate, patients – to share information securely online. This saves the current necessity of exchanging detailed letters between professionals, and of some face-to-face consultations.
4. They enable specialists in centres of excellence in other cities or countries to be fully consulted via electronic medical record (EMR) sharing and videoconferencing.
