DDE
Diagnosis-based Data Entry
for all occupational groups in healthcare
| DDE stands for efficient activity-related employee and patient data entry for all persons employed in outpatient care, in hospitals, rehab clinics and for all geriatric care. |
 |
Through the consistent deployment of the DDE system, all the processes and activities for all the occupational groups in healthcare along with the time spent on patients will be recorded simply and reliably and automatically documented. This results in a significant improvement over manual documentation ('patient record'). Using the data acquired, it is possible to assign care, admission and discharge diagnoses to the time units actually expended and to further process these data for evaluations and analyses. |
| The DDE system integrates hospital information systems (SAP_ISH, etc.), electronic duty roster systems, ClinPath programs and process analysis systems with the patient level. All the information is coordinated and made available to all the persons involved (medical service, nursing service, administration). |
Diagnosis-based Data Entry:
| Fields of use |
 |
- Medical and nursing staff in hospitals, rehabilitation clinics, care homes and old people's homes
|
| Data entry |
 |
- Simple, hard-wearing and disinfectant-resistant data recording devices
- Barcode or RFID (transponders) for patient identification
- Quick and direct data recording
- No duplicate entries (employee/patient data)
- Activities are recorded directly and without subsequent typing into an electronic patient record
- Simple recording of the vital values (temperature, pulse, RR, central venous catheter (CVC), etc.)
- Activity recording depending on employee qualification (doctor, carer, assistant)
|
| Configuration |
- Simple creation of activities and documentation texts
- Variable activity assignment to departments and wards
|
| Documentation |
- High documentation density
- Maximum employee protection
- Conclusive and complete patient documentation
- Password-protected employee evaluation
|
| Interfaces |
- Universal interfaces to external systems
(KIS, staff roster planning, ClinPath, etc.)
|
| Evaluations / statistics |
- Performance calculation based on the main and secondary diagnosis / care level (age / gender)
- Calculation of in-house average values and deviations
- Comparison with internal and external required/actual times (PPR, LEP®)
- Cumulative observations, internal/external benchmarking
- Drafting of process profiles
- Process analysis
|
| How you benefit |
- Staff forecast up to one week for the staff roster planning system.
- Exact reflection of staff costs (staff percentage between 55% and 72%)
- Ongoing process optimisation / quality improvement
- Potential for savings / productivity increases in case of optimal deployment between 4% and 15% of budget
