Gerry Bolger, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, recently shared his insights into achieving safer care through the use of patient monitoring technology at the Welch Allyn Completing the Picture educational symposium.
The ‘Six Cs’ nursing strategy, first developed by Professor Jane Cummings, the Chief Nursing Officer for England, was recently replaced by a new vision: ‘Leading change, adding value’, which focuses on how the health service can deliver care quality in challenging times, while meeting its financial objectives. One of the ‘ten commitments’ outlined in the report looks at the role of technology and states: “We will champion the use of technology and informatics to improve practice, address unwarranted variations and enhance outcomes.”
Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust was highlighted as an exemplar organisation in demonstrating how technology can successfully be used to meet this commitment, while releasing time to care and improving patient safety. Speaking at the Completing the Picture educational symposium, Gerry Bolger, clinical lead for nursing informatics, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, provided an insight into the use of patient monitoring technology to deliver ‘safer care through real-time information’.
