|
Virtual Practice delivers a full suite of Nursing Practice documentation. In the area of residential aged and community care we provide tools and workflows for:
In addition there is a full suite of exceptional writing templates centered around a communications module which links all participants in the care of the resident. Being a combined medical and nursing record there is prescribing software for the medical practitioner which generates a list of medications which have been prescribed. In turn, these are printed on a drug administration from on a monthly basis which allows a record of when these medications were administered and by whom. Additionally, Nurse-initiated medications are checked against current medications for interactions. When medications are cancelled, a new sheet for the remainder of the month is printed. All changes are noted electronically and the pharmacist is advised of new prescriptions, changes in existing medications and/or dosages and is also advised when medications are stopped. Exceptional writing such as for falls, behaviour disturbances or transfers generate their own workflows and attempt to guarantee adequate documentation of occurrences. Every aspect of the documentation processes are taken care of from admission to discharge. These include:
Instruments for the documentation of the various aspects of care are also available. Why Choose the Virtual Practice System?Virtual Practice lends itself to the process of clinical documentation in RACFs managing the change to electronic documentation as well as setting out the Intellectual Property of the institution itself. Often, the entire process of quality control rests with one or two senior staff and when they are absent or move on the processes have to be re-established, often at considerable cost in time. Our system collects the information that is needed - the facts. We quiz staff on the detail as to what is present and what has been done. Virtual Practice uses an intuitive and simple question and answer format for data collection that is tailored to suit your organisation. Of the many useful features and components in Virtual Practice, one of the most frequently used is the alert system. Your organisation can set-up custom alerts to monitor patient status, such as constipation - If there is no record of a resident having moved their bowels for 3 days then an automatic alert is generated to selected members of your health care team. The Virtual Practice system was designed from the ground up by medical and nursing professionals. Special attention has been paid to flexibility in workflow; each system is tailored to work naturally and intuitively as part of the day-to-day operations.
