dart EDM provides departmental wide access to patient documents allowing storage and retrieval by all departmental staff. No manual archiving, no lost documents, just instant retrieval at the touch of a button.

Case notes can be scanned into dart EDM, documents can be published from the electronic patient record (EPR) system, and general office documentation can be easily added through the desktop or direct from Microsoft Office. Documents can be indexed on content and can also include several index fields for specific search and retrieval e.g. NHS number, patient information demographics, department, date and time etc.

Departmental staff can search over ten million documents instantly, email, fax or print documents in seconds, and utilise a document note manager and call back facility. As a result, documents are quickly and dynamically sent to the correct area for clinical control or authorisations.

Integration:

An image button allows your host system to become a gateway to all documents. Users can see the scanned request forms at the click of a button

Security:

Software includes powerful encryption (SSL) and password technology at a system, folder and document level

Workflow:

dart EDM document notes manager allows documents and auxiliary information to be communicated and workflow to be defined; no more photocopied forms or post-it notes

The Customer:

Derby Hospitals NHS Trust

The Problem:

With the merging of two hospitals into a new site, space a priority and paper spread far and wide, the old filing system was creaking at the seams.

The Solution:

DART EDM allowed the hospital to scan in all the back records and current records for each department on an ‘as and when’ basis. As the system was browser based it provided instant access, regardless of location, enabling a department to move without affecting its ability to deliver efficient patient care.
