On Monday this week, Nervecentre went live on the Macmillan Unit at CRH, leaving only three more areas to go.

The ‘go live’ process went very smoothly (the Nervecentre team have done over 30 now!) and very quickly staff were logged in and using the system to record the observations on their patients.

Many of you involved in in-patient care will have come across Nervecentre already as it is now live on most wards across the Trust. There are now only 3 areas remaining to roll out to: CDU and Endoscopy at CRH and Ward 18 (PAOU) at HRI.
 

The team would really like to thank the staff across CHFT for their enthusiasm in embedding Nervecentre into their everyday work. Patients’ observations are now being completed in a more timely way in line with Trust policy, deterioration is now more visible and escalated to senior clinicians via the automated alerts.
 

The Nervecentre system has brought a large number of quality and safety benefits to our patients and the roll out of hand-held mobile devices has ensured clinical staff receive up to date information about the condition of their patients wherever they are on either Hospital site.
