Real-time Patient Charting
The Challenge:
Most doctors, nurses and medical technicians still use traditional means of recording patient date: handwritten notes on individual sheets of paper for transcription into a medical record. The staff also can dictate taped notes for a transcriptionist to enter into either a hard-copy or online record. This process is error prone, and can take days to complete.

The Solution:
Using access points with laptops or PDAs at the bedside to record patient notes saves time and improves accuracy. Because data is entered directly into the patient’s online record, team-based caregivers in multiple locations have real-time access to up-to-date information (since it does not have to be transcribed). This allows better-informed decisions about patient care. The result is lower cost, greater accuracy and better clinical outcomes.
