PRIME
Positive Results In Monitored Environments
Managing cancer treatment bays to highlight opportunities and improve efficiency.
All about PRIME
When your eyes need to be on the patients in your care, you need a simple way to track timings and allocated chairs in treatment bays.
We understand that everyone in the room is extremely busy so PRIME has been designed to reduce the time-consuming admin of tracking procedures that can add to the pressure and time constraints of front-line care. Once recorded, procedure reporting provides insights that allow for evaluation of data – assisting you in identifying where improvements can be made.
PRIME’s focus is cancer care and chair allocation, it is designed to track procedures and the timing of usage of each chair while also recording extras such as unavailable chairs, reasons for late starts or overrunning and general notes.
Our software provides an organised way to evaluate and review collected data, so you can identify where improvements could be made across the board and improve efficiencies from day one.
- Patients are the priority
- Pre-session data entry
- Use any device to build lists
- Capture data as it happens
- Automated real-time reporting
- Detailed custom reports
Why collect this data?
Efficiency: Collecting data on the time it takes to complete medical procedures can help healthcare providers identify areas where they can improve efficiency. By measuring the time it takes to perform different tasks, healthcare providers can identify bottlenecks in their workflow and find ways to streamline their processes. This can lead to better patient care and increased patient satisfaction.
Resource allocation: Collecting data on the time it takes to perform medical procedures can also help allocate resources more effectively. For example, if a particular procedure repeatedly takes significantly longer than expected it may mean that average expected times need updating nationally or scrutiny applied to the procedure itself.
Staff training: By analysing the data, healthcare providers can identify areas where staff may need additional training to improve their skills and efficiency.
Patient safety: Timely completion of medical procedures can be critical to patient safety. Knowing the average and specific times taken to complete procedures can help hospitals ensure that patients are seen in a timely manner and that necessary interventions are not delayed.
Long Term Benefits
- Improve efficiency
- Allocate resources more effectively
- Enhance patient safety
Digital Tools - why they make the difference
PRIME is an online solution driven by keeping data entry simple but providing essential analytics that then allow for insights which can be used to improve future management of capacity in the short and long term. Inspired by our work on THRIVE and the gains that have been made since implementation our partnerships with trusts in the NHS has allowed us to expand into PRIME to embrace even more data.
Having one platform that hosts rooms, hospitals and trusts throughout the UK allows for unprecedented comparisons that could not be achieved with disparate systems or offline solutions.
Why Choose PRIME?
When faced with a duty of care to your patients, the required admin needs to be completed as efficiently and as non-intrusively as possible. Scheduling is an important aspect of how a cancer unit operates. The way you schedule, and handle the recording of what happens, can be the difference between a well-organised, efficient, and effective department and a stressful and overwhelming one. Good scheduling respects your team and the patient’s time, reduces waste, allows provision of a high-quality service, and promotes positive patient experiences – all while also generating revenue for the organisation.
The benefits you will see:
- Plan in advance to track true cancellation rates and reasons
- Reduced admin after sessions as information is captured on-the-go
- Information is collected and shared in a consistent manner
- Hospital resources are used efficiently by maximising utilisation
- Improved patient and employee experience
