(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has become the first hospital facility in the Middle East to launch a new electronic system - Cerner Clairvia - for the management and organisation of its over 8,000 nursing staff.
Cerner Clairvia is considered one of the leading systems used in managing nursing staff in prominent healthcare institutions across the United States.
Dr Wasmiya Dalham al-Kuwari, executive director, Nursing Informatics Department at HMC, stated that phase one of the system was successfully implemented at Al Khor Hospital on April 1 while the second phase will conclude at the hospital in May.
The system is scheduled for roll out at the Women's Hospital in the summer, followed by other HMC's network of hospitals as per the overall Clinical Information System (CIS) implementation plan, she noted.
"The new electronic system will help in assessing and managing work requirements in each nursing division based on data input, which includes the budget of each division, available workforce and the number of inpatients and outpatients.The system processes the data input and provides the nursing heads with the indicators needed for producing work rosters," explained Dr al-Kuwari.
According to her, the new electronic system provides organisational tools to determine work hours without the need for paperwork rosters, with the option of entering any urgent changes or modifications at any time.
Husam Sabbah, nursing informatics specialist pointed out "It helps healthcare professionals assess the progress that patients make throughout their hospitalisation period. This, in turn, would help assess the care provided to patients and enhance the accuracy of patients' clinical data, in addition to ensuring the fair distribution of work tasks amongst nursing staff."
