Lorenzo Nursing, the iSOFT Lorenzo Enterprise solution for nurses, went live on another surgical ward at the St Jansdal hospital in Harderwijk, the Netherlands. This go-live follows the successful completion of a pilot on the surgical ward 1 West, and signifies the starting point for the roll-out of Lorenzo Nursing on all surgical and medical wards at St Jansdal.
Lorenzo Nursing is a software environment for nurses to view the patients' electronic care file and record the nursing documentation and clinical notes. They can also view the results of laboratory tests as well as data on the course of the disease.
The nurses at St Jansdal are enthusiastic about the new solution. The system ensures that they no longer need to record the same data in various locations, for example, at the bed-side, in the chart notes, and the records. This not only saves time, it also reduces the number of mistakes. And nurses no longer waste time collecting paperwork and no longer need to wait for colleagues to finish going through the records. The ease of use of Lorenzo Nursing ensures a smooth transition from a paper to an electronic world.
"I talked with two nurses on the ward who were still coming to terms with the mouse and keyboard," says Jan Voorburg, member of the St Jansdal Board of Directors. "Even they found the solution a major improvement, and they were adamant that paper is no longer an option."
Alongside the nurses, other care providers also benefit from the roll-out of Lorenzo on the surgical and medical wards at St Jansdal. Medical specialists, for instance, can consult the patient care files anywhere, anytime. Another example is the notification that is automatically sent to the dietetics department when the nutritional status of a patient indicates a risk. Lorenzo Nursing saves various medical professionals time and contributes to a better quality of care throughout the hospital.
