Video: Cabrini and CSC's Mobility Suite

Challenge

Cabrini, a private, not-for-profit health service in Australia, saw that clinicians were frustrated with having to access multiple hospital information systems during the course of patient care. Cabrini wanted to streamline access so that doctors could find everything they needed via a single, mobile interface.

Solution

CSC developed the CSC Mobility Suite by leveraging existing information available in the hospitals’ patient administration system (CSC webPAS). The CSC webPAS system has evolved over many years and provided a solid foundation for the mobile solution.

Result

By bringing information to the patient’s bedside, the CSC Mobility Suite significantly improves communication between doctors and patients at Cabrini. The Mobility Suite brings information from several sources together in a single view. Patient records are displayed immediately at the touch of a screen. Using the Clinical Viewer feature, doctors and nurses can access health records such as vital signs in an instant. And if a change in a vital sign is a cause for concern, the doctor can receive an automatic alert. Remote monitoring of patients is also improved. Instead of calling the ward to check for results, Cabrini doctors can now prepare for their workday before they leave home by accessing clinical information when they are offsite.
