HOW DOES IT WORK? Typically, each unit customizes it's own software with unique terminology for diagnosis/treatments, etc., room #'s, Dr.'s, staff.  This feature is one of NPP's great strengths.  Each unit/floor will designate a shift to update the patient care data QD.  This is really the only "cost" to using the program but the dividends are clear and accurate patient care info as displayed on Charge Nurse's report sheet and customized nursing/cna worksheets.  After the initial entering of unit and patient care data, the QD update is usually quick and easy, depending largely on the patient turnover of each unit.   At the end of each shift, someone clicks a couple of buttons to print out the worksheets to give to the oncoming nursing staff.  Report time is shorter, to the point and more efficient as nurses are freed from the wasteful daily copying of all information from the RAND.  They are more likely to note small details, emerging issues and ask questions of off-going nurses when freed of the drudgery of filling out blank worksheets.  Of course, nurses still check and update each worksheet against the RAND as part of taking report.  CN's love the voluminous information that is displayed on their 8 1/2 X 14 inch (landscape format) worksheets and how easy staff assignments are done.  Nurses that float to your unit will positively love it, making the transition easier for the nurse and safer for the patient.  You will no doubt soon hear that nurses are asking for the software back at their home units.   The network version of the software will run on any machine that is currently being used as a server.  Each client pc will need to have a copy of Filemaker Pro installed on it, while the data is stored centrally on the server.  A client-server setup necessarily requires more tech involvement.     Implementing a pilot program on just one or two units would be an inexpensive way to evaluate whether this approach is for you.  The runtime version of the software requires minimal pc resources and will run on any pc whose processor runs at 300 mhz or greater.  RAM can be as low as 128 mb.     Network Version of the Nursing Productivity Pak   Click here to view a PowerPoint Slide Presentation			Purchase & Download Now   Download Tips
