SafeHands ^© in Use

Healthcare Professionals have at their disposal when they visit a patient, that patient’s entire visit history. This means that they have a record of who made the last visit, the circumstances of the visit and the outcome of the visit, for example, whether a hospital visit was averted. Thus patients see a greater continuity of care as the Healthcare Professional always has a clear picture of the last visit.

SafeHands holds test information from lung capacity and blood pressure to the latest cholesterol result. This enables better clinical assessments as current results can always be viewed in relation to previous results.

SafeHands displays in a user friendly format, all the medications (names, doses, frequencies) that a patient is currently taking, and also, at a touch of the screen, all the medications that the patient has taken historically.

SafeHands enables a clinical protocol library to be built up to reflect locally evidenced based care pathways. During a patient visit the Healthcare Professional therefore has at their disposal the latest best practice.

At a practical level use of SafeHands means entering the data once. The data is entered onto the mobile unit at the patient location. A summary of the visit can be printed out via a portable printer. The information could be downloaded directly into the GP’s system. The information is finally synchronised into the Central Management System.

The SafeHands Central Management System allows control and maintenance of standing data by a system administrator.
