SUPPORT has been shown from nurses for efforts towards digitisation.
Members of the Bahamas Nurses Union (BNU) were recently given a presentation on Information Systems for Health Bahamas (IS4H), a digitalisation initiative that seeks to enhance efficiency, reduce administrative burdens and improve patient care.
BNU president Lightbourne hailed the project, and its anticipated benefits of reducing paperwork and administrative duties.
She said: “This system will allow us to spend less time on forms and more time doing what we love - caring for our patients.”
The presentation was led by IS4H senior technical project manager David Strachan and Acting Director of Public Health Dr Phillip Swann.
A Q&A session was also held, covering topics such as training requirements, pharmacy logistics, appointment scheduling, and payment options.
The IS4H team clarified that all personnel who work directly with patients will receive training, and while digital payment options will be introduced, cash transactions will remain available.
The team also assured attendees that inventory management and further system integrations are part of the long-term implementation plan.
