Challenges
Do more with less

Faced with an aging population in need of dedicated medical care and a NHS budget deficit of more than £22bn, the healthcare sector is striving to do 'more with less'. Increasingly it’s our nurses who are taking the strain.

Do better with less

Nurses must handle increased workload with a wider scope, whilst still being able to provide individual patients with an exemplary level of care.

Digitising the NHS

The government’s plan for a paperless NHS by 2018, and for all patient records to be digital, real-time and 'interoperable' by 2020, adds a considerable technological challenge to nursing record keeping requirements.

Research shows

Nurses spend over 50% of their time on clinical documentation

Discover 8 key themes identified in nursing patient record keeping

Research and experience from our customers show that nearly 11 hours per week is needed to add to clinical documentation. 64% of the time is spent on narrative (‘unstructured’ notes) to capture the patient story well and only 36% on ‘structured notes’ (chose & click). More than 1 hour per day is spent by nurses searching for information that is insufficiently clear or not available in the documentation.
