Manual records are problematic for a number of reasons; with them comes the increased likelihood of transcription errors, the loss of important information, potential security risks, duplication, and time spent away from the patient’s bedside. But, with many healthcare organisations driving their digital journey by migrating services to the cloud, this is changing.
Cloud-based highly agile and scalable systems enable clinicians to utilise electronic records, streamline previously manual processes, and access vital information securely at the bedside. This will lead to a reduction in time-consuming manual processes, reduce errors, ensure the safekeeping of confidential and sensitive data, and improve both the employee and patient experience.
