Openward

OpenWard is a hardware and software solution designed to help your staff manage patient information at a ward and department level through the use of visual management.

With more and more Hospitals pursuing the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement Productive ward programme an increasing number are looking for electronic replacements for traditional whiteboards when implementing the PSAG (Patient Status at a Glance™) module. OpenWard’s ward level localisation capabilities make it the product of choice for an increasing number of Hospital Trusts.

The system is designed to provide a powerful and simple to use interface that when deployed:

• Reduces interruptions for nursing and other frontline careers
• Saves staff time looking for patient information
• Supports the patient experience from admission to discharge helping to reduce unnecessary delays
• Increase time available for direct patient care
• Uses an intuitive touch enabled application that works seamlessly in existing clinical processes

Using the visual display with the simple drag and drop patient flow you can quickly identify where a patient is, their current discharge plan status and check the bed availability for the ward.

Patient flow from admission to discharge is managed through a simple drag and drop graphical interface that requires little manual activity in order to maintain up to date information. Most actions can be achieved with a single touch or two clicks of a mouse.

The simple tabulated interface at the top of the screen allows ward staff to switch views and access a variety of information directly from the board.

Information and security in OpenWard is handled on a trust wide basis allowing the application to be accessed and managed by authorised staff to view & manage patient information from any networked Trust PC via a web browser.

The solution can be interfaced to hospital systems using an optional HL7 interface module.
