Quality For The Benefit Of All

“Niels-Stensen-care centre Ankum introduces computerised transfer this House I’m good!” when this saying residents of at a nursing home, the expectations of employees and the establishment are then met. To achieve a high level of satisfaction of the residents and their relatives, the organizational processes are extremely important in addition to the quality of nursing, medical and pastoral. With the project black and white”the care team at the Niels-Stensen-care centre Ankum committed to exactly this goal: through the consistent application of a computerised nursing documentation, providing knowledge in the team should be significantly improved. The knowledge transfer of the teams was previously at the respective passing between the layers”, discusses nursing Director Axel Spieker. Since passing time was spent in three layer switch, which was no longer available for the residents.

In the use of computer-based DM nursing documentation, we had the idea that much time saved can be, essentially computer supported performing the fact delivery”, says San Jose. This idea was implemented and actually brought the desired results. Together with the company DM EDP, which fully supported us in the process, we could reshape passing completely, so that even our service times have changed”, explains Axel Spieker not without pride. We create what has claimed before a quarter of an hour, today in a five minute blitz pass mind you without loss of information.” Now, the nurses have time to inform, to then directly to devote himself to the residents in the documentation in the first five minutes of their service. This was initially sure something unusual. We could but with a wrong pass ‘ train. The upcoming service was passing and the outgoing service added only if something was missing. So we have simulated already times quite realistic the new conditions”, so San Jose.

Today he can His work with the inhabitants of ten minutes earlier start early professional service, because the Flash pass from night to morning service in five minutes is completed. At this time, only organizational things and highlights are discussed. Analog pass late night service takes place ten minutes later. The positive consequence: The departing early service is remaining works from this morning; Early or late services develop and evaluate care plans, students can be taught in non-residents related tasks. San Jose next: once a week an hour case review in the entire care team held with us now. Wednesday afternoon because the nursing service management and the present nursing services participate. Here we can talk then individually about all residents.” The benefits of the transition to electronic delivery is obvious: An aspect which particularly the staff of the Niels-Stensen care centre are proud is more time available for residents. And so “also, their conclusion is: good this House for us”. Safe in times of nursing shortage more reason, with the help of software solutions to optimize processes to the benefit of all.
