FileMaker Success – Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases
A GREAT EXAMPLE of FileMaker success from UK Filemaker for current and prospective clients:
Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases
“We are always looking at ways to further improve patient care. Collecting information electronically makes tracking patient progress and care over time particularly simple. By automating the collection and scoring process, clinicians can quickly consult a patient’s history, which will assist in identifying any changes since their last visit,” – Dr Raj Sengupta, Consultant Rheumatologist, at the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases…
RNHRD Gives its Staff the Gift of Time Through Rollout of Secure Digital Questionnaire Using the FileMaker Platform staff can track changes in patient condition and recommend courses of treatment with the tap of a button…
Now, patients can complete a digitised assessment and record their data on iPad prior to their appointment. FileMaker’s customisable database solution means that both the collection of data and the scoring process can now be automated rather than swallowing the time of hospital staff in a manual process, that can’t be used as efficiently as digital records can…
Supplementing the time saved and the ease with which doctors can now apply and analyse patient data, the digitisation of the survey has increased its security. No data is stored on the iPads used by RNHRD, while all records in the database are SSL encrypted, securing it beyond any safeguards provided by a padlocked filing cabinet.
That last point is key. I wonder if they have that info printed on the electronic form?
