“As CCIO I have been really pleased to see eObs roll out so successfully across the trust. Feedback from the staff has been very positive and this will only help increase confidence and good will as we introduce more functionality such as nurse noting. As a clinician working on the wards, I have benefited from the ability to review observations away from the patient bedside. The ability to view the observations in a format that mimics the traditional obs chart has allowed us more senior clinicians to transition to eObs without having to change our way of working. The mobile platform view has similarly proved popular with the junior doctors. There are also clear benefits to patient safety with reliable NEWS2 calculation and decisions support around escalation helping the junior nurses and HCA’s to flag up changes in a patient’s status for more senior review when required. Overall, I would regard our eObs implementation as being very successful, reflecting a close working partnership between IMS and the trust EPR team.”
