Welcome to the Doctor on Cart initiative by Fitwell Hub. An excellent presentation of advancement in healthcare delivery. The DoC involves a high-tech cart with diagnostic tools and monitors, and the virtual rounds are taken by the doctors who interact with the patient, the patient's family, and the nursing staff.
Traditional Rounds
Doctors perform physical rounds and visit room to room with a cart full of medication and essential supplies that will be needed.
DOC Rounds
The DOC system utilizes a high-tech cart with integrated diagnostic tools and monitors. Virtual rounds are delivered by doctors who interact with families, nursing staff & patients.
The Doctor on Cart system revolving around the typical hospital rounds is a ground-breaking advancement in the healthcare field. This system bridges the gap between in-person and virtual interactions by incorporating diagnostic tools and a patient monitoring system on the cart. This advanced cart changes the way doctors deal with patients, perform rounds, and work with other medical professionals.
We are amplifying the quality of patient care by introducing the dynamic framework offered by the Doctor on Cart system.
Enhanced Efficiency
By employing cart monitors to examine patients remotely, Doctors can reduce the time they spend on each bed, thus increasing efficiency and monitoring more patients in less time.
Resource Optimization
By increasing the process’s overall efficiency, the DoC system allows the hospital to allocate its equipment and medical staff more effectively thus enhancing resource optimization.
Seamless Data Integration
The accuracy of the system is improved by updating the diagnostic data on the cart in the Electronic Health Records (EHR) system in real-time.
Telemedicine Expansion
The DoC system lays the foundation for the future expansion of telemedicine in the healthcare industry as it demonstrates remote patient care possibilities.
By implementing the DoC system, patients are continuously monitored and the vital signs of the patients are measured in real-time. This approach helps in the early diagnosis of problems.
With the DoC system, patients receive timely care as the system allows the doctors to deal with the patients virtually without any delays. It helps the doctors to deal with any kind of emergency that may arise, by alerting the doctor and nursing staff in time.
The DoC system helps make the environment more comfortable for the patients by reducing the physical interventions by the doctor that create discomfort for them.
Through the DoC system, the patient’s family can interact with the doctor during virtual rounds to keep themselves updated about the patient’s condition and get involved in the patient’s care.
By actively participating in the patient’s recovery process, they keep themselves updated with the improvements in the patient’s condition. This reduces their anxiety and they start trusting the treatment and the doctor.
Families can have conversations with doctors practicing in different areas conveniently, all due to the ease and accessibility delivered by the DoC system.
Nursing Staff:
The Doctor on Cart (DOC) system provides a transforming mode of engagement beyond physical presence's limitations for doctors, nurses, patients, and their families.
Streamlined Patient Care
Nursing staff can work together with the doctors more effectively. This results in a better and more organized approach towards patient care.
Reduced Workload
The diagnostic equipment on the cart assists nurses by lessening their workload and allowing the essential examinations without needing a doctor's physical presence.
Enhanced Communication
The DOC system makes direct and immediate communication between doctors and nursing staff possible, which speeds up decision-making and enhances patient care.
The DOC system significantly reduces the time doctors must spend traveling between patient rooms,
encouraging their availability for face-to-face patient encounters.
The DoC system reduces the time required to move from room and room, thus improving efficiency. Doctors can monitor a patient’s medical records, vital signs, and other information from a single centralized location.
The DoC system with advanced diagnostic equipment records patients’ physiological parameters like heart rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and temperature in real-time, thus doctors can make better judgments.
Doctors can schedule appointments freely as due to the DoC system, the rounds are virtual, thus encouraging a work-life balance. They can choose when and where to work, which reduces stress and burnout.
Accurate documentation is paramount in healthcare to ensure patient safety. The DoC system allows recording of the virtual rounds to help ensure that patients’ contacts are documented without any errors, and enhances treatment efficiency.
If some technical issue arises during a virtual round, our support team will help troubleshoot and resolve the issue promptly. If necessary, the doctor might switch to in-person rounds to continue patient care without disruption.
While the virtual rounds are conducted for your benefit, facilitating you with continuous monitoring and care, you can discuss your preferences with the hospital staff and they might make adjustments for you.
The virtual rounds are scheduled according to your healthcare needs. Your doctor will determine the most appropriate schedule for you depending on the severity of your health problem.
Yes. You can reach out to your doctor any time you want besides the virtual rounds. The DoC system is an addition to your care, not a replacement for other means of communication.
