ccdep - Patient Dependancy Monitoring

System Summary

Client: Primary Care Technologies Ltd, on behalf of Oxford Community Health NHS Trust

 Written in Access 97, this system supports Oxford Community Health NHS Trust in the monitoring of patient dependancy requirements across several wards in remote sites.

ccdep is run both as a network and a 'remote' system, as the Trust's infrastructure is variable.

The system allows clinicians and managers to see how dependancies (ie how much care is required by patients) vary between wards and over time, so that appropriate staffing levels can be determined.

Key Benefits

• Single system on several sites, enabling cross site information availability
• Graphical outputs enable monitoring and predictive management
• In ward data entry eases central burden and 'pays back' at ward level by allowing clinicians to see where staffing needs might be.
