Find out how Doncaster and Bassetlaw NHS Foundation Trust Hospital is using MedisecTRUST Digital Dictation to deliver discharge updates to GPs within 24 hours of a patient leaving the hospital – and to halve its delivery times for all clinical correspondence.
“Since the implementation of electronic transfer of GP correspondence each Directorate (we have 5 within the Division of Surgery) has saved an average 8 hours per week (through not having to sit and fold letters and envelope them). This has enabled us to devote further time to work on a corporate project called Clinic on the Day where the patient waits in clinic, after their consultation, for their copy of the clinic letter and they leave with details of all diagnostic investigations/follow up appointments. ”
“Medisec has cut our paper-handling costs significantly. As this is true electronic communication, we no longer have to spend time scanning in documents and we can manipulate text easily by copying and pasting. This dramatically reduces the need to re-input patient details and the associated chance of error, so the net effect is much more accurate patient records. The ability to view future hospital appointments allows diligent GPs to ensure that an ill patient will definitely be seen soon enough, and if not, to chase.”
Medisec software is installed at various NHS Hospital Trusts, CCGs and GP Practices across the Midlands and the North of England.
