dart OPM enables hospital departments to replace most paper base systems and dot matrix printing. Print data streams are intercepted from the electronic patient record (EPR), the data is then processed and the output is electronically distributed, when and where it’s needed and in the format required.

Relevant information can then be collated into clearly formatted documents resulting in a reduction in backlog delays and minimising the risk of operator error.

dart OPM can revolutionise the quality of document communication through one to one personalisation of individual documents, central management and distribution of key documents as well as electronic document archiving.

The utilisation of dart OPM has enabled many departments to replace traditional paper based systems, and forms the first step towards a fully integrated information management solution.

Improve the appearance, production and sorting of report forms; print patient letters, barcode labels wristbands and identity tags;

Simple:

dart OPM is able to manipulate data from electronic patient record (EPR) and laboratory information management (LIMS) systems

Fast:

Through the production of clearly formatted documents containing only relevant information, dart OPM has been shown reduce backlog delays

Accurate:

The dart OPM system captures and processes information automatically, minimizing the risk of operator error

Personalised:

Imagine an automated information management solution which knows to produce a patient letter with increased font size for the partially sighted, sends maps to the hospital from a particular postcode and can send SMS reminders 48 hours before an appointment.

The Customer:

Heart of England Foundation Trust.

The Problem:

The production of pathology reports was through old dot matrix printers and was taking many hours a day to separate, sort, and collate for posting. This meant the current legacy system couldn’t be adapted.

The Solution:

dart OPM was implemented to intercept the data and then, reformat the layout, sort it by discipline and location and print it to a laser printer.

Dave Husband – IT manager says… “As part of our modernisation programme we identified the generation, sorting and dispatch of printed laboratory reports as a major bottleneck and a drain on human resources. Implementing the dart OPM system means we have replaced five dot-matrix printers and several stationery types with just one laser printer, resulting in a significant improvement in print quality. The ability to collate reports from multiple disciplines by location and consultant means that we have been able to simplify our post-room services, whilst maintaining printing speed and improving efficiency.
