CHD Reminder System
"We needed to find a reminder system for the doctors, when consulting patients who are on the CHD register (these patients are identified very easily, they are coded blue on the doctor’s appointment screen) to check that patients are up-to-date with recommended readings, levels and medications.
Importantly it also reminds the doctors to enter the data into the correct fields. We identified this as perhaps one of the issues which was affecting our percentages. We developed a screensaver so at the start of each day, when the doctors turned their computers on this would act as a reminder. We also ensured they had the desktop button installed on their taskbar so if they wanted to refer to the criteria it was a simple process, which did not involve having to close down their programs."
