Blythedale established an on-premise intranet portal using the Microsoft SharePoint 2010 platform, leading to the decision to utilize SharePoint to fulfill this particular requirement.
Initially, an in-depth analysis of the data within their ERP system was conducted. Subsequently, this data was integrated into the SharePoint platform by establishing connectivity through Application Pages on the SQL server backend.
Utilizing this data, various dashboards were created using Performance Point Services with Dashboard Designer and the Kendo UI framework.
A Census dashboard was devised to capture patient details such as admission time, discharge time, length of stay, etc., on a daily basis. This aids the staff in monitoring patient aging and hospital occupancy effectively.
Similarly, a Post-Discharge Follow-Up Call dashboard was created. After a patient is discharged, follow-up calls are made to inquire about their health status and other details. This facilitates easy monitoring and accessibility of patient data.
Using Kendo UI, a self-learning module (SLM) was developed for doctors and nurses to stay informed about the latest research and advancements in medical science and technology.
Blythedale provided transport services for patient pickups and drop-offs. To monitor this aspect, a separate dashboard was developed. This allowed staff to access transport service details and track their status.
Additionally, a dedicated dashboard was created to facilitate nurse call follow-ups. This dashboard enables nurses to monitor calls, both attended and unattended, on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
We developed various other dashboards, including Impact Dashboards, Quality Dashboards, Census Dashboards, Vent Weaning Dashboard, Clinical Indicators Charts, Length of Stay Reports, Referral Dashboard, Vent Census, Post-Discharge Follow-Up Dashboard, and more, using Kendo UI.
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) was configured to generate various financial and accounting reports for the finance department. With this SharePoint custom solution, Kendo UI, and SSRS, Binary Republik assisted Blythedale in implementing various dashboards to enhance staff productivity and efficiently manage their institution.
Census dashboards provided the hospital management with insights for patient intake and discharge, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in patient management.
Nurses diligently cared for all the children in the hospital, prioritizing the maintenance of their quality of life.
The visual data provided doctors and staff with a clear perspective, aiding in decision-making processes.
The dashboard for the accounts and finance department provided a transparent overview of the available cash flow, along with other pertinent account-related information.
Charts and graphs facilitated the establishment of goals for improved results across all departments effortlessly.
Our proven methodologies and a track record of excellent services backed with by years of experience with SharePoint will ensure a high success ratio and a greater user acceptance.
