How digital innovations are improving patient safety

In healthcare, where errors and missed information can have severe consequences, a robust task management solution that integrates data from multiple sources and shares it securely can significantly reduce the risk of medical errors and improve patient outcomes.

By streamlining workflows and eliminating inefficiencies, a task management solution can optimise operations and enhance efficiency, ultimately leading to improved patient experiences. When all relevant information is consistently and accurately documented, updated and communicated, clinical teams can avoid the pitfalls of inaccurate data entry or misinterpreted instructions that often stem from manual processes or verbal communication alone.

An effective task management solution ensures that tasks are assigned to the right individuals at the right time, reducing delays and improving efficiency. Let's take the example of the task management solution provided through the platform of DNV Imatis, with whom Wandsworth Healthcare formed a collaboration in 2024. In hospitals where this solution is deployed, staff members start their shift by picking up role-specific smartphones, logging in with their unique credentials and designating themselves as the responsible nurse, doctor or other relevant personnel for patients in their assigned areas.
