Patient rounds are a core element of professional nursing care. They provide a focused opportunity to make direct observations and to respond to any changes in the patient’s condition. With greater workloads, higher-acuity case-mix and more complex care protocols the cognitive burden facing nurses at the point-of-care has steadily increased. Nurses complete an average of 72 tasks per hour and are required to continuously make decisions about the patients in their care.

KEWS300 from Syncrophi, deployed on a Sumo Medical Tablet PC, markedly eases the demands of patient rounding: reducing task-time, avoiding repetitive data-entry, eliminating many common errors, improving protocol adherence and providing the nurse with invaluable decision-support for ‘next steps’ and escalations in care.

This event will present KEWS300 and the benefits it can realise, a outline of how it can be deployed, and a demonstration of the solution in operation.
