e-Observations
Using the SystmOne eObs app on an iOS or Android device, hospital staff can create and access template observation forms (such as the NEWS2 checklist) and record each patient’s vital signs electronically from the bedside. SystmOne eObs then automatically calculates and charts the patient’s observation score, creating a clear and precise view of their progression over time. Of course, as eObs is part of SystmOne, patients’ observation histories are stored centrally in their EHR. Therefore, this information is easily accessible to other healthcare staff, not only in the same hospital, but across the NHS. Digitisation of the complete flow from observation recording to the management of escalations reduces errors and cuts the response time of interventions for deteriorating patients.
