PAS helps Surrey hospital cut waiting times
The 12 operating-theatre suites at Royal Surrey County Hospital in
Guildford are now running at over 90% of available capacity, thanks to a
new patient administration system (PAS).
The operating-theatre function of the new Oasis PAS, supplied by
Capula Healthcare, has helped the hospital both improve its performance
and cut waiting times for elective surgery.
"We started using the theatre element of Oasis suite in October 2005,
and have rolled it out specialty by specialty", says hospital
spokesperson Caroline Stewart-Breakey. "Its flexibility allows the staff
to manage the need to make changes to theatre lists. This includes the
order of patients, booking of emergencies, changing the location of the
list and changing the ownership."
Capula Healthcare, with its HQ in London, has operated in the
healthcare market since 1984 and is a provider of PAS, electronic
patient record and care record solutions.
