Revolutionizing Patient Flow: CAIDA's 21st Century Solution for Care Settings (Full Transcript)

Speaker 1: What could patient flow look like for your care setting in the 21st century? It's an all-too-familiar picture in care settings today, where manual processes and legacy technologies create extra administration and constant interruptions pulling us away from caring for patients. Many methods of joining up ever-changing data can be time-consuming and unreliable. Administration can feel like an obstruction when patients are priority. Gaps in information make it difficult to plan ahead. The frustrations of life today can become chaotic and disorganised. Now let's look at CAIDA's solution to patient flow and how life can be tomorrow. CAIDA Patient Flow Manager takes the basic status quo concept and evolves it, allowing clinicians to interpret patient data at a glance. Patient cards display colour-coded status boxes that represent different patient conditions and status. For example, if box number 1 is highlighted in red, this could show that the patient requires a blood test or that physiotherapy is required. Other nuances such as symbols, background colour and text labels are created to match the way you work, giving teams a swift overall view of their patients' needs. Patient cards are viewed via on-screen representations of each ward, which helps them manage beds and patient flow, reducing admin and releasing time to care. With PFM, all the information is transferred electronically, flowing seamlessly in real-time between teams. PFM's hospital-wide dashboard displays the real-time position of wards, teams and patients, allowing everyone to plan ahead effectively from a shared position of knowledge. CAIDA Patient Flow Manager creates transparency between wards, care settings and organisations, improves processes and ultimately makes a difference in the daily lives of carers everywhere.
