Anaesthetic departments rely on IT to support virtually all their day-to-day functions. The benefits of an integrated IT solution are dramatic, and make an immediate impact on the efficiency of all aspects of department life. Although there is significant time-saving, such a system also prevents the errors that occur when information is overlooked, incorrectly copied from one system to another, and where information processing occurs with insufficient feedback to the users. Jet5 provides an integrated staffing, leave, rotas, and department communication system: the key components of a successful department IT strategy.
Jet5 has evolved over 12 years. It began by providing integrated IT to three large General Hospitals in Glasgow, then during a one-month period in 2015 when these were amalgamated into a single large regional Hospital, and subsequently as this new 4-site hospital bedded in and the clinical services established themselves.
