Anyone working in hospital IT has likely struggled with the same issue: when implementing a nursing system on PCs and then on mobile devices, the hardest part isn’t the development—it’s having to set it up twice.
On the PC, nursing records appear as neat, organized tables—ideal for viewing, printing, and archiving. But at the patient’s bedside, nurses use PDAs or smartphones to fill out forms one screen at a time.
What’s the traditional approach? Configure one set of tables for the PC, then another set of forms for mobile devices. Fields, drop-down options, date formats… Whenever the Nursing Department says, “Add a new column to the temperature log,” the implementation team has to switch back and forth between the two interfaces, afraid of missing a change on either side.
Even more of a headache is the acceptance testing. The IT Department says, “The PC version is all set,” while the Nursing Department reports, “Why hasn’t the mobile version been updated?” With both sides constantly cross-checking, the launch date gets delayed time and time again.
Duchang Information’s DCWriter 5.0 Smart Medical Record Editor, with its nursing documentation templates, was designed to solve this problem: configure the template once in the editor, and the PC version automatically generates lists while the mobile version automatically generates forms—all based on the same underlying data set, eliminating the need to maintain two separate code bases.
The demo below will walk you through it in just one minute.
Effective nursing information systems aren’t about making nurses learn yet another system; they’re about reducing duplicate setup work for implementation staff, minimizing the need for the IT department to maintain two separate code bases, and cutting down on countless phone calls to the Nursing Department.
With the DCWriter 5.0 set of nursing documentation templates, the PC version handles professional viewing, printing, and archiving, while the mobile version facilitates rapid bedside data entry; data is sourced from a single source, so a single configuration ensures synchronization across both platforms. Nursing documentation should return to its core purpose—nursing—rather than becoming a labor-intensive task involving back-and-forth verification among three parties.
