PCTI, the electronic document management specialists, announce the next phase of Docman BackOffice, a range of specific apps to streamline the back office function of a GP practice.
Following the launch of the foundation module of Docman BackOffice called Library, BackOffice Apps will enable the busy ‘engine room’ of the practice to transform the way they manage their information. A range of back office Apps will allow practices to move away from paper records, notebooks, spreadsheets and simple Access databases to a structured central electronic database record, all accessed through a familiar intuitive user interface. All users (depending upon their access rights) will be able to access and report on their BackOffice data.
The first set of applications available will include the Accident Log, Asset Register, Birth Register, Death Register, Fridge Temperature Log, Practice Feedback, Room Temperature Log, and Significant Events.
Geoff Dennis, Practice Manager, The Falmouth Health Centre “Docman has transformed the way we work and has revolutionised the way we handle clinical documents. BackOffice Apps are now helping us to bring that same high level of quality and consistency to our other data. The ability to attach scanned documents within the Apps means that our asset register is now directly linked to original suppliers invoices. The feedback from patients and significant events retain a consistent and searchable format with the Apps, something that will be essential as we move towards CQC registration.”
“Using the familiar Docman interface means that everyone is able to use the Apps with minimal training. On the very first day that the Apps were installed, our Healthcare Assistant saw the Fridge Log App in Docman, she archived the old paper temperature logs into the system and started using the App with no training whatsoever.”
Ian Moody, Director of Product Strategy at PCTI “After the extremely successful launch of BackOffice Library in September, BackOffice Apps provide even more time saving and useful tools to improve efficiency for GP practices at no extra cost. The Apps will help improve quality of data within practices and will provide intelligence quickly that isn’t possible when recording information in note books or on paper.”
By using BackOffice Apps practices will be able to start collecting and managing information for the requirements that will be placed by CQC in 2013. BackOffice Apps will make preparing information easier and provides ease of access to evidence when you need it.
BackOffice Apps will be available in the next Docman update to be released in the next few weeks.
