Kensington Private Hospital in New Zealand has implemented the gastrointestinal (GI) procedure documentation solution, Provation MD, to improve operational efficiencies.
Known for performing around 4,000 procedures a year in five operating theatres, the hospital previously depended on a manual, paper-based system for documenting medical procedures.
This was not only time-consuming but also detracted from the quality of patient care.
As the hospital does not have an in-house IT team, it required a partner to facilitate the shift to a more advanced digital solution.
Provation has enabled Kensington's clinicians to document procedures with speed and accuracy. The adoption of the solution has provided Kensington Private Hospital with several benefits.
Provation MD ensures structured and compliant documentation, creating electronic procedure notes that are easily retrievable and contain comprehensive medical content.
It also offers robust data capture and reporting capabilities, automated communications for preparing various patient and physician documents, and integration with endoscopic and image capture equipment for consistent photo documentation.
By implementing Provation MD, Kensington Private Hospital is now on par with Te Whatu Ora public hospitals in New Zealand, which also utilise the solution.
This ensures uniformity in documentation standards and facilitates easy access and searchability of patient records across different facilities.
Kensington Private Hospital's financial controller Jeremy Kloet said: “With Provation MD, we will generate standardised, professional, and comprehensive documents, ensuring consistency across all surgeons and improving efficiency.
“Surgeons at our hospital are already familiar with and fond of Provation MD, after using it in the public sector. Maintaining continuity with a system they trust has been invaluable.”
The hospital, which is 40% owned by local surgeons and business supporters and 60% by Healthcare Holdings, is now equipped to offer the same level of care as larger public institutions.
