Most organisations rely upon manual collation of bed data, either by walking the wards or ringing for information. The resulting information is then reviewed at meetings throughout the day, usually tying up senior clinical teams and working with information that is always out of date.
But that’s not how it is for Cayder customers; our ward boards are always up to date and the data they capture powers the Trust wide view we provide in our advanced bed management module. Not only that, but information updates within the module to reserve beds are automatically reflected back on the wards, meaning everyone knows exactly what’s happening all of the time.
So how can we be so sure of our information? Well it’s simple really - by making the ward boards so easy to use and providing useful outputs like handover documents as a by-product, our frontline customers know that just by keeping the boards up to date they’ll have less administration to do and they will receive fewer interruptions from colleagues seeking information.
In summary, Cayder ward boards save them time, help them manage the ward and take away the needless interruptions that distract them from caring for patients. In addition, other authorised users have access to the information they’ve always wanted. It’s a winning combination.
