This evening briefing will give an overview of some of the programmes that are feeding into the digital strategy for St James’s Hospital. In order to achieve this strategy, the foundations need to be laid to enable the electronic capture of data at the point of care. Unique identification and barcoding standards (GS1) enable this.
The recent go live of the Electronic Patient Record for inpatient care is transforming the way patients are admitted, treated and discharged in St James’s Hospital.
St. James’s Hospital has a proven record in the implementation of national programmes that use track and trace technology to support patient safety in areas such as haemophilia treatment and in sterilisation services for surgical instruments and endoscopes. These solutions have proven that the use of global GS1 standards significantly enhances patient safety, traceability and certainty of product identification for effective and efficient product recall across the healthcare supply chain.
More recently, St. James’s has used modern barcode technology to automate the procurement of medical supplies, tracking of laboratory samples from theatre to laboratory using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and tracking of products used in theatre to achieve patient level costing.
We hope you can join for what promises to be an inspiring and informative evening.
