Turku Uni­ver­si­ty Hos­pi­tal pilot­ed the Medanets Patient Card

Oulu-based Medanets’ Patient Card was pilot­ed at the Turku Uni­ver­si­ty Hos­pi­tal. The pur­pose of the pilot was to assess the solution’s impact on nurs­ing work­flows and patient care.

The suc­cess­ful pilot came with pos­i­tive feed­back, with one nurse high­light­ing that the Patient Card is a handy tool to look up diag­noses and risk infor­ma­tion while being next to the patient or when admin­is­ter­ing their med­ica­tion.

Accord­ing to Ville Jalo, from the Well­be­ing Ser­vices Coun­ty of South­west Fin­land/­Varis­nais-Suomen hyv­in­vointi­nalue, the Patient Card’s full poten­tial is real­ized when risk infor­ma­tion and diag­noses are kept up-to-date in the EHR and when phones are equipped with SIM cards for direct call­ing.

Fol­low­ing the pilot, the Turku Uni­ver­si­ty Hos­pi­tal made the deci­sion to imple­ment the Patient Card across all its ser­vice units. Future inte­gra­tion with the lab­o­ra­to­ry sys­tem is expect­ed to fur­ther enhance its usabil­i­ty.
