CareScan+: Enabling safer more efficient patient care while reducing costs

To fully meet the requirements of the Scan4Safety programme, a point-of-care scanning solution was necessary to facilitate the convenient and practical capture and recording of events taking place during each episode of patient care.

However, when implementing and using scanning at the point of care, staff found that there was no all-encompassing scanning solution available to meet their needs.

The trust decided to develop its own solution and looked to produce an easy-to-use, accessible app that staff could use for all of their scanning requirements – one where all of the data collected could be accessed and stored in one central repository so that the right investigational product and/or kit goes to the right patient.
