Example

PharmiTab™ is a range of TabletPC based solutions for the hospital environment. Using web services, advanced data integration techniques, and e-forms, PharmiTabtm allows healthcare professionals to access the data and information that they require, at the patient's bedside, and throughout the hospital. Our e-forms capability takes existing paper-based forms and processes them to reduce errors, to reduce administrative burden, and to allow easy integration in to other applications.

Evidence

At Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch NHS Trust, healthcare professionals have been using a PharmiTab™ solution on the ward to speed up the ward pharmacy processes. With paper forms converted to eForms, and integration with other applications such as stock control system and the patient management suite, we can demonstrate a number of key benefits:

• Ability to order drugs for immediate dispensing without leaving the bedside
• Less transcription errors due to poor handwriting
• Prescription requests arriving at the dispensary one hour faster than before
• Permanent data record with potential for trend analysis, workflow stats etc.
