“In the intensive care unit, the more information you can get, the better. A premature baby is the frailest patient you can have. You have to have the right information there to make the right decision to help that baby survive. And Dell is right behind us, helping to make that information available.”
In the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, everything pertaining to a patient’s medical record was manually recorded and paper-intensive. Over a 13-hour shift, 30 to 45 minutes per clinician on average was devoted to manually recording data to create a patient’s medical record: time that could have been spent on patient care.
Using DellTM LatitudeTM fully ruggedized laptops, physicians and nurses now enter data at the point of care using Crib NotesTM , an EMR solution for the NICU. Real-time access to patient information, automatic clinical calculations and vital alerts give neonatologists, nurses and other team members a unique vantage point and the upper hand to respond to changes in patient status.
Run IT Better: Projected savings of 8,800 hours annually that can be devoted to patient care; enhanced patient outcomes through data entry, calculations, progress notes and lab results at the point of care; minimizes errors, strengthens checks and balances, accountability and compliance; projected savings of $100,000 per year by omitting/reducing paper records; streamlined audit process by 90% (seconds versus days); projected 100% payback in under one year
