New information system for Derby hospitals
The project was funded by NHS England’s Integrated Digital Care Technology Fund and will see Agfa HealthCare’s ORBIS clinical information system implemented across the Trust’s adult critical care units.
Implementing the ORBIS ICU-Manager will allow Derby Teaching Hospitals to automate the collection of data from monitors and devices in the ICU, eliminating the need for manual transcription. By speeding up workflow and reducing the risk of potential errors, it can help the hospital to improve clinical safety, efficiency and cost effectiveness.
The agreement includes ORBIS Medication, which offers prescribing and administration of drugs from the patient’s admission to discharge that encompasses drug prescription with clinical decision support, drug administration, pharmaceutical validation and resupply.
Dr. Nick Reynolds, consultant in anaesthesia and intensive care at Derby Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: “ORBIS ICU-Manager will provide us with tools to help us reach our goals of improving clinical safety, efficiency and cost effectiveness, as well as our planning and care processes. It offers the flexibility and innovation we need to handle the specific requirements of our critical care environment.”
