Watch this for an overview of the app with Leah, a registered senior clinician on the team and expert in onboarding digital solutions for NHS in the UK.
The app is jam packed with a wide range of features following existing practice and familiar processes for ease of use and speed of input. Click on to find out more, download and get in touch.
Since its launch in 2021, Usability & Data Completeness studies have been carried out by the team at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow.
Results show that digital real-time recording of clinical events using a tool such as the Trauma App is comparable to completion of paper proforma. The System Usability Score for the Trauma App was above the internationally validated standard of acceptable usability.
More studies are underway to prove the key benefits of improving patient care and admin efficiency – including measuring impact on accuracy, completeness, clinical time saving and speed of care.
The app produces a comprehensive structured PDF report upon case sign-off for instant upload into your hospital’s document store and Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system. The app currently integrates this way with TrakCare (Intersystems) and Meditech Expanse 2.1 and we are working with other piloting customers to integrate with other EPR solutions, including EPIC, CERNER and Systems C.
The app has the capabilities to send data in real-time. For example, imaging requests, physiology etc. We can collaborate with customers to build integrations that suit their EPR systems and data formats and we could encourage you to be in touch for an informal conversation with your eHealth teams in the first instance.
The cost of the app largely depends on the level of setup required and desired integration. As a guide, setup is usually a one-off fee of around £10,000 with basic level integration included with an annual software licence fee of £30,000 per site (prices not including VAT). We do however encourage you to get in touch with us to discuss this, as we always aim to work to your needs and procurement requirements. We have a full suite of resources and support guides (inc. an example Business Case) to help you through the process of onboarding as we know it can feel overwhelming at first.
The app is currently only available for iPad, but it has been developed in a way that we can consider making it available for Android should a customer prefer this and have confirmation of approval to procure on this basis. So far our customers have either been using iPads already or found it relatively easy to introduce them to the department.
