Despite excellent forms there is likely loss of time and loss of info, when just handing over a document together with the patient to the next care giver in line. Integration of different IT systems supports the staff in working as one team and in one unbroken chain
The tradition is to improve quality in an organization by enforcing the same behavior, based on evidence that this behavior is the right one. Usually is this for pre-hospital care done by using the same processes, protocols and u forms. This ensures that the work can be audited and thus improved, step by step. Despite excellent forms there is likely loss of time, and loss of info, when just handing over a document by hand together with the patient to the next care giver in line. The obvious next step is to make those forms electronic, do the information hand-over electronically, i.e. to integrate the information into other systems using the parts of the info that is valid for accurate treatment further “down the line”. It is clear that integration of different IT systems supports the staff in working as one team and in one unbroken chain. For the patient it means improving the medical outcome, maximizing safety and for the healthcare provider it means increased efficiency or decreased costs.
