Emergency Departments switch to digital
Paper patient records are now a thing of the past in the Emergency Departments at Eastbourne DGH and the Conquest Hospital in Hastings, thanks to the introduction of a new digital system called Nervecentre.
Details about a patient's visit to A&E can now be stored electronically, and staff use specially provided phones and tablets to input clinical information. This means that a patient's notes are always available when needed and time isn't wasted looking for paper notes. It also gives an overview of activity in the department and flags when any patient's condition is deteriorating.
