The hospital’s general manager, Anna Demetriou, said all the staff members and most of the independent healthcare practitioners practising at the hospital have received training and have enthusiastically embraced the onboarding of the new world-class, integrated and fully mobile system, given its unprecedented advantages for enhancing patient care.

“Already, CareOn has become a game changer in our hospital, automatically recording patients’ clinically relevant data on their unique electronic medical record. Through the secure platform, the treating specialists, nurses and other healthcare practitioners involved in a patient’s care can access and check each of their patient’s current condition, as well as medical notes and additional context on a mobile device at any time and from any location by means of a secure platform,” said Demetriou.

She added that the adoption of the CareOn system and electronic medical records across all Netcare Group facilities will enable integrated and hassle-free holistic healthcare across the full continuum of care.
