When frontline staff start using the Connect Care clinical information system (CIS), the current processes for collecting activity and workload statistics will change for the better.
The main goal of activity and workload capture is to collect information at the point of care for clinical purposes then use the data for secondary purposes, such as strategic operational planning and decision making, activity based budgeting and Operational Best Practice (OBP). The new Connect Care reporting tools will give the organization more timely access to this information, while reducing the burden of data collection on front-line staff.
As Connect Care is rolled out across the province, activity information, such as visits/attendances will be captured in the Connect Care CIS. For many areas across the province, this will reduce or eliminate the need for manual statistical data entry by staff on paper or in electronic systems. When Connect Care launches in your area, workload minutes (time) data capture for most clinical services will be paused, with some exceptions.
We understand this will result in a gap in capturing workload minutes (time) data for many managers and leaders. By reducing the need for manual collection, we will allow staff to focus on adopting Connect Care. These gaps are temporary and interim workflows will be available.
For more information on how and when these changes will affect you, please reach out to your manager. |
