What is DAWN Safety Monitoring Software?
4S DAWN is a complete clinical software package to help healthcare professionals monitor patients taking potentially harmful drugs for long term conditions or disease management.
DAWN is a robust, yet easy-to-use software that enables healthcare providers to efficiently manage clinical decisions, co-ordinate care and share information.
DAWN improves patient safety by saving clinical staff time and reducing the potential for human error. It identifies those patients who require clinical intervention while automating other more routine tasks.
How does DAWN support staff in a clinical setting?
Saves time with automated processes
If patient blood monitoring results fall within desired thresholds DAWN automatically reviews the results for you.
Automatic emails in DAWN will prompt healthcare professionals to check abnormal blood test results and take action.
Clinical staff can generate a letter or email in DAWN, in real time, detailing any blood test abnormalities and required actions for the attention of the patient and primary care team.
DAWN can be integrated with EMR or Document Management Systems to share information with other healthcare professionals.
Prioritises abnormal blood monitoring results
DAWN automatically identifies patients with blood monitoring results that are unacceptable or borderline, according to the guidelines set by the clinical team. (Parameters can be customised for individual patients and/or based on patient characteristics, such as gender, for example.)
DAWN enables the actions taken by the clinical team, in response to abnormal blood monitoring results, to be documented and recorded, with a clear, expedited process for review by senior team members.
Efficiently manages overdue patients
DAWN automatically identifies patients who are overdue blood monitoring tests. The software can trigger contact with patients via letter, email or SMS to develop an effective, safe monitoring service and increase patient adherence to blood monitoring.
Easily identifies patient populations grouped by status
The DAWN patient database enables a site-specific workflow to be quickly built based on patients grouped by their status. The software can easily identify specific groups or populations of patients, such as those receiving a particular drug, eligible for a research study or at heightened risk in emerging situations (eg, the COVID-19 pandemic).
Automatically integrate patient information
DAWN can automatically acquire rheumatology patient information, admission, discharge, GP and pathology results via an interface with existing IT platforms.
DAWN can enable the capture of key Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) via a patient facing web portal.
DAWN will improve and facilitate reporting for audit and management purposes.
Integrate DAWN with your EMR or Document Management Systems
DAWN can be integrated with your EMR or Document Management Systems to automatically share information regarding medications and blood monitoring.
Are you spending too much time on administration tasks?
Healthcare professionals must monitor the wellbeing of patients who are prescribed high risk medications. In your role, you may need to check thousands of blood test results each week to ensure the medication is doing no harm.
Patients need to be regularly checked, at agreed time intervals, against their individual defined acceptable test ranges to detect any significant drift or trend in results which require action. Information frequently needs to be shared by a secondary care department with the patient, primary care team and other healthcare professionals.
If completed manually, these tasks are time-consuming with a high risk of human error and an increased risk of patient harm.
