From the very beginning, our software was designed in conjunction with frontline carers and that continues to be our way. All the features that we’ve added to our software have come from discussion and conversation with our customers.

So when new customers ask to see our product it comes as no surprise when they like what they see.

By providing an easy to use visual solution carers are quickly freed from needless interruptions leaving them more time to spend with patients.

All our software is designed to be configured in conjunction with ward staff, allowing the needs of each ward to be handled whilst maintaining a consistent experience for commonly used information such as patient name and admission date. Each ward specifies the care path that takes place and utilising the features of our powerful configuration engine each ward’s electronic status board can be tailored to match.

We asked nursing teams about their experiences using our software here are some of their responses:

“Nursing interruptions have already been reduced as staff and managers now refer to the board for info rather than asking us”

“Adding patients is no more labour intensive than writing them on the board and moving them between beds is really easy”

“Updating the board has become the responsibility of everyone on our ward which has meant we have had more time to care for our patients”

“Patient status information in an electronic form is helping us target and understand discharge delays, the pharmacist commented on the fact that he could easily see which patients were scheduled to go home and plan for it in advance”

But our software goes beyond the ward based benefits, by providing virtual wards of patients we can provide health professionals with pan organisation patient lists that allow them to manage information like never before whilst never losing track of a patient or their current location.

Eileen Stonock, lead nurse “Releasing Time to Care” programme, commented:

“The solution has greatly improved communication between our multi-disciplinary teams and it has saved us so much time.”

Each consultant can be provided with a list of patients under their care together with the key information they require to manage and deliver patient care. Discharge co-ordinators can see lists of patients due to go-home or delayed in a single view irrespective of the ward they are all.

All of this information is dynamically updated in real-time as things change. Filters and sorting criteria can be applied just like you would in a spreadsheet.

When the time comes to see what’s been happening over time our data warehouse will have captured all the history for every patient and bed allowing you the facility to access and to interrogate this data. A full audit trail can be provided as required.

Dr Abrar Hussain, Specialty Registrar and Dr Amrit Sachr, Consultant Psychiatrist of West London Mental Health Trust wrote in a paper:

“Cayder PFM in ensuring effective communication frees up clinician time which can be invested in direct patient care. In a highly dynamic and rapidly changing clinical scenario, Cayder PFM serves to provide clinicians a sense of direction, control and satisfaction".
