Case Study

Description:
In the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Saint Barnabas Hospital, everything pertaining to a patient’s medical record was manually recorded and paper-intensive. Over a 13-hour shift, 30 to 45 minutes per clinician on average was devoted to manually recording data to create a patient’s medical record: time that could have been spent on patient care. Saint Barnabas now anticipates reclaiming nearly 8,800 hours annually for patient care using Dell laptops in an EMR environment. Read this case study to learn more.

Dell Case Study Sample

Not long ago, the NICU nurses would enter notes into a centralized workstation. The process took 30 to 45 minutes per shift for each nurse. When one nurse gave the care of a baby over to another nurse during a shift, the second nurse would then have to interpret the written notes.

Using Dell Latitude fully ruggedized laptops, physicians and nurses now enter data at the point of care using Crib Notes, an EMR solution for the NICU. Real-time access to patient information, automatic clinical calculations and vital alerts give neonatologists, nurses and other team members a unique vantage point and the upper hand to respond to changes in patient status.
