Common use of DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE Clause in Contracts

DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE. The on-going development and delivery of dashboards and whiteboards based on our extensive business intelligence capability is seen as a ‘generic’ business-as-usual project that will progressively encourage our users to make more and better use of ‘right here, right now’ information. One spin-off from this project is the development of our WardView product, which will deliver an interactive whiteboard tailored to the needs of each ▇▇▇▇ across the Trust. Fed with data from Medway, eHandover and other relevant sources, WardView also allows users to interact directly with the ‘board to mimic the use of magnets on ‘proper’ whiteboards so that patient status can be maintained and accurately in real time. Current position: • The development of the WardView product has been completed and the first pilot wards have reported back on their experiences. • Configuration of WardView for the remaining wards has commenced, with all wards being encouraged to adopt a ‘standard’ view to reduce additional development, but able to define additional content if required. • Engagement and implementation plans have been prepared and the first crop of wards engaged to refine their requirements. Delivery plan: • All wards will be engaged and requirements captured by August 17. • Wards not requiring additional content and development will be prioritized for delivery. It is hoped that most wards will be equipped by September/October 17. • Delivery will involve mounting large touch screens in each ▇▇▇▇ location, requiring collaboration between IM&T, estates and the wards. • Business continuity plans for each ▇▇▇▇ will be agreed and supported with a roll-up stand-by whiteboard. Just in case. Exclusions: • None relevant. Key Outcomes: • Real-time view of patient status allowing improvement in patient flow, discharge planning, bed availability and planning. • Immediate, visible feedback driving ‘in-the-moment’ update and use of core information systems including Medway. • Key safety and quality improvements.
