Having seen the latest NHS IT Software in action
at RSCH A&E today, all I can say, what a load of ****.
The older VB system was a lot faster to use.
The fonts are microscopic, they use Popup boxes with just numbers and no text.
The staff were complaninig that it crashed at least once a day.
To enter the details in A&E Triage took at least twice as long as it did to examine me, take my BP etc and agree that My Mother needed to be treated.
do I need to go on?
As a general point.
The NHS + Social Services are total data islands.
Even the NHS can't even use the data from the last time that the patient was there for treatment even if that was a week before. So you spend hours repeating the same story over and over and over again.
They get all uppitty if you say 'I told you all that last week. She hasn't grown a pair of wings since.'
I've lost count how mant times I've told the physios that my mother has a walk in shower, handrails in the toilet etc etc etc.
No wonder it drinks our money as if it was going out of fashion.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
