The software system analyses the stream of barcodes and assembles an activity profile for the clinician and tracks patient interventions. It generates a suite of reports by staff member, by patient, by referring department, and by activity type.
Allied Health professionals around Australia use the Activity BarCoding system daily. The system has a proven track record in providing more patient treatment time for valuable staff, releasing them from inefficient and time-consuming data entry.
The additional patient treatment time is substantial. Indications are that on average staff will save 6 hours per month per staff. The implementation of Activity BarCoding has also been identified as the reason for 15% increase in appointments being recorded.
Activity BarCoding is being used to assist Palliative Care staff in managing the delivery of both hospice-based and community Allied Health interventions. The system provides a detailed “patient journey” report to ensure that vital steps are performed on a timely basis. It also frees up time for patient care that would otherwise be spent in inefficient data entry and note-taking.
The Activity BarCoding system helps you record both patient interactions and staff activities in a community or ambulatory environment using a simple set of pre-printed bar codes. This saves data entry time, ensuring that scarce resources are channelled into areas that need focus.
With a greater focus on primary, community and ambulatory care, Activity BarCoding is versatile and robust allowing it to operate for days without an internet connection. The scanner is the size of a match box and can easily be carried by a staff member.
Most importantly, your staff can capture the interactions they have with patients in the community more accurately and in more detail, so that you can truly start analysing the patient journeys that are occurring and adjust your care delivery models.
As the Director of Allied Health at St Vincent's, I have been delighted with the information available to us from the ABC system. The data collection process has been easier, quicker and much more appealing for staff than previous systems we have used. The reporting functions literally saves our managers hours of time per month and the breadth of information available within moments has been extremely useful for our business submissions and activity reviews. We have been able to link ABC with our case mix data enabling great benchmarking capability and giving us a very clear picture of how we are using our resources. ”
Australia I was involved in the installation of ABC at QLD Health, I found Beamtree staff supportive & knowledgeable. I can rate their service at 8/10. ”
Australia I’d rate the support at 9/10. The team is responsive and our queries were resolved in a timely manner. ”
Much less time and the entry is much more accurate. The best thing about the system is that stats have been incorporated into the work function i.e it has become part of the treatment procedure like writing in the notes. The functionality of the system at the clinical level is one of its best functions and my guys love it. ”
