A slimmed down version of the Electronic Patient Records (EPR) software from PatientSource is now available free of charge* to healthcare organisations worldwide to help combat the Coronavirus pandemic. The software can be installed and ready to go within as little as one hour and will keep a ‘digital eye’ over the ever-increasing number of COVID-19 patients.
Founded by a practising NHS doctor and recognised as a ‘leading innovator’ by the Department of International Trade, PatientSource offers a cloud-based interoperable patient record system with an intuitive interface, designed for use on the frontline of care. The clinician-designed solution works cross-platform on any device with a web browser – desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones.
This adapted version of the PatientSource software will feature a cloud-based electronic observation module complete with patient trackers and ward whiteboard tools that are attuned to COVID-19 patients and will be able to quickly identify the most critical, frail or deteriorating patients in a challenging setting.
Dr Michael Brooks, Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of PatientSource, explains: “Our PatientSource COVID-19 tracker will show you which affected patients are in your hospital or ward, what their latest vitals are, the plans for escalation and who the expected incoming cases are in real-time. This allows you to identify the patients who need oxygen bays and the patients who need critical care input, allowing you to allocated limited resources to those who need them quickly.”
As the number of COVID-19 patients needing hospital treatment continues to grow and resources are spread ever-more thinly, PatientSource hopes the capabilities of its EPR solution in providing digital oversight over a rapidly expanding patient cohort will support overstretched medical services both in the UK and across the globe.
