SafeHands ^© Introduction

SafeHands is a Case Management System. Records of patients to be case managed are entered on to the SafeHands Central Management System. This information is then synchronised to mobile units for use by Healthcare Professionals. Patient consultation information is added by the Healthcare Professionals using the mobile unit when making a patient visit. This information is later re-synchronised with the Central Management System.

• The mobile unit is a light, powerful tablet pc running Windows XP.
• Touchscreen functionality facilitates the quick and intuitive use of the SafeHands system by a Healthcare Professional whilst on a patient visit.
• Once on the database the information is available to both service and clinical managers for analysis and reporting and to members of the team of Healthcare Professionals when making future visits.

The SafeHands Case Management System improves the management of patient care:

• By providing the Healthcare Professionals with appropriate care pathways for their patients.
• By providing the Healthcare Professionals with a medical reference library to which the latest local treatment protocols can be added.
• By providing detailed, up to date, patient information available to Healthcare Professionals wherever and whenever needed.
• Through the rigorousness of patient data collection that a system approach imposes.
• Through system analysis and powerful reporting, facilitating the monitoring of each Healthcare Professional’s performance.
