Alder Hey Children’s Trust improves Record Handling System
Aug 12 2012
Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust is introducing a new integrated digital dictation platform from Medisec to improve workflow, patient care and deliver time and efficiency savings for clinicians and secretaries. Utilising Olympus hardware, voice files from Alder Hey clinicians have now been tagged with central Patient Administration System (PAS) data to automatically generate clinical correspondence.
“This is a key move in our drive to improve administrative efficiencies,” said Alder Hey’s EPS Project Manager Heather Swanston. “We had already streamlined the transfer of patient information using the MedisecTRUST solution, but transcription times will now be much faster with the integration of Medisec’s digital dictation platform.”
When the secretary opens the voice file, the system automatically inserts patient information from the hospital PAS into a letter template. Consultants are able to edit and authorise all clinical correspondence online.
“I previously used to write my letters out longhand and pass them to my secretary for typing which was a time-consuming process,” said Consultant Paediatric Dentist Rod Llewellyn. “This system is quicker and more efficient.”
Tom Rothwell, Medisec Software’s Managing Director, added: “Digital dictation combined with an advanced workflow solution can realise significant efficiency gains and, in collaboration with Olympus, we are delighted to announce this roll-out of at Alder Hey.”
