178. A Tablet a Day Keeps the Commissioners at Bay

Le résumé fourni par la source

Background: Transparency and evidence of quality care is increasingly needed in the changing National Health Service (NHS). Clinical commissioning groups demand that the work done is financially and clinically effective with patient experience an important outcome measure. NHS reforms as set out in the King’s Fund highlight the need for better measurement of health improvement on a daily basis. When a local patient support group donated a sum of money to our department in July 2014, the importance of putting this money towards lasting improvements in patient care seemed paramount. Tablet devices are being used in rheumatology departments to facilitate data collection. Completing paper questionnaires and performing scores are time-consuming and add to the paperwork burden. We have developed, in conjunction with 3s Reporting Ltd (an NHS owned innovation company), a web based survey software platform for patients and clinical teams. This will enable patients and staff to record data on any fixed or mobile device.
