| Northland District Health Nurses |
Pocket PCs are helping to save close to one working day a week on paper work for district health nurses employed by Northland District Health Board. As a result nurses have more time to spend with the patients on their rounds.
Moving away from the previous paper-based system has given nurses significantly more time to spend with patients. The data is more secure, protecting patient privacy, and the health board has more accurate data regarding its services and contract reporting. www.nhl.co.nz |
