DAWN Software safely and efficiently monitors Neurology patients on disease modifying therapies.
DAWN Safety Monitoring Software supports healthcare professionals to efficiently manage Neurology patients on long term drug therapies and disease modifying treatments.
The software improves the efficiency and productivity of your Neurology service to increase patient safety and improve quality of care.
Time consuming routine monitoring tasks are automated while patients requiring clinical intervention are clearly identified.
Do you have confidence in your current blood monitoring systems? DAWN can transform your Neurology service.
DAWN Safety Monitoring Software used in Neurology significantly reduces the administration burden of monitoring patients on disease modifying therapies while alerting clinicians to those in need of intervention.
The software supports Neurology teams to monitor patients with conditions including Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neurone Disease and general neurology disease modifying treatments to improve patient safety, care and communication.
What is DAWN Safety Monitoring Software?
DAWN Safety Monitoring Software is a complete clinical software package. Applied in your Neurology service, it will improve patient outcomes while reducing the administrative burdens placed on a busy department.
DAWN will enable you to appropriately and robustly monitor blood and urine measures for patients with Neurological conditions against pre-defined ranges, pre-set per therapy, tailored to specific patients or set for specific cohorts of the patient population.
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. Dynamic work lists automatically identifies patients who are overdue blood monitoring tests and the software can trigger reminders via SMS or email.
Save time and reduce the potential for human error
DAWN has been developed to better manage the complex administrative burden placed on your Neurology department.
Currently, managing blood monitoring may include completing several cumbersome manual processes, often involving several spreadsheets, Word documents and diary appointments with information about a patient stored in different places across multiple screens.
Routine tasks are time consuming to complete, with the potential for human error and a real danger that some patients requiring clinical intervention may be missed.
System inefficiencies are impacting the quality of patient care and adding to the stress and workload of your team.
DAWN Safety Monitoring Software enables healthcare professionals to efficiently manage the risks to patients taking DMARDs, biologics, biosimilars and other specialist high risk medications. DAWN will:
- Alert clinicians to unacceptable or borderline blood test results.
- Identify and trigger contact with patients who are overdue blood monitoring tests.
- Save time with automated processes to review acceptable results or remind patients to get a blood test.
- Increase productivity by quickly and easily sharing information with other clinicians, such as a patient’s GP about shared care agreements, following secondary care initiation.
- Easily capture data for tasks such as baseline checks before initiating medication, medication home fulfilment and funding applications.
- Automatically maintain and report demographics data for patients being monitored.
How will DAWN transform your neurology service?
DAWN Safety Monitoring Software will enable you to run an efficient, robust and safer service.
DAWN co-ordinates and simplifies the time-consuming process of monitoring patient groups across a wide range of drug and disease states including:
- Multiple Sclerosis for patients prescribed DMTs such as Interferon beta, Teriflunomide, Dimethyl Fumarate, Fingolimod, Natalizumab, Alemtuzumab Ocrelizumab and Mavenclad, Diroximel Fumerate, Ofatumumab, Ponesimod and Siponimod.
- Neurological diseases and patients prescribed general disease modifying treatments including: Methotrexate, Azathioprine, Cyclosporin, Adalimumab (Humira) or Mycophenolate.
- Female patients of childbearing age prescribed Sodium Valproate.
- Motor Neurone Disease for patients prescribed Riluzole.
- DAWN automatically prioritises abnormal blood monitoring results and 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.)
- Automated processes review acceptable results.
- 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.
- Reminders to get a blood test are automatically sent to patients.
- DAWN identifies and triggers contact with patients who are overdue blood monitoring tests.
- Communications about the shared care of patients to the community based teams are effortlessly created.
- Patients undergoing monitoring by primary care teams are easily and quickly identified.
- Test results, history and full context can be easily viewed in the patient record to aid the provision of specialist advice and support to primary care teams.
- Should monitoring return to the specialist team, the full patient history is immediately available in their DAWN record.
- DAWN makes it easy to track the renewal dates for prescriptions with home care companies.
- The prescription process and status, from creation and departmental signature to internal or external pharmacy fulfilment, is tracked and documented to provide the best service for patients, and save time.
- DAWN software provides an electronic proforma to accurately structure and document the pre-prescribing checks needed before prescribing a disease modifying therapy.
- The outcome of the checks can be easily shared in the electronic patient record, removing the need for manual administration tasks, such as the printing or scanning of documents.
- Historic proformas and records are easily accessed and can be quickly audited.
- Get the full patient picture instantly with current and historic medication, dosing and monitoring data available all in one place.
- Bespoke reports can be easily created to enable insight from data across the patient population.
- DAWN enables healthcare professionals to clearly document non routine current and historic patient contact information all in one place, including advice line contacts.
- Structured notes enable consistent updating processes for all users.
- Reminders or follow up tasks for patients can be quickly set, and a simple workflow process enables all users to see outstanding tasks and actions.
- DAWN enables the healthcare team to quickly document any adverse medication side effects, events or reasons for ceasing a medication, providing a full patient context.
- Historic adverse event data can also be accessed across the patient population within a particular timeframe.
- DAWN software enables healthcare professionals to create bespoke reports against the patient population to provide the insights, audit data and other statistics needed to drive improvement.
- Using DAWN insights your team can easily manage improvement projects and provide key research data, for example, for diagnosis medications and outcomes.
