Summary and strengths of the project
Equipment
MioCARE™ A105 Tablet
MioCARE™ L135 Tablet
Hospital Centre for the District of Montreuil-sur-Mer
The stakes
Deployment of IT equipment specially adapted to the healthcare environment providing both excellent shock resistance and a range of functions making it possible to combine a number of different tools used by different departments.
Indicators
Deployment of 15 MioCARE™ A105 tablets within the accident and emergency department.
Deployment of MioCARE™ L135 tablets in the surgical unit (ongoing).
Introduction to the Hospital Centre
Located within a centre of population with more than 100,000 inhabitants, the Hospital Centre for the District of Montreuil-sur-mer (CHAM) is a hive of activity. The proof in figures*.
CHAM has six operational centres: accident and emergency, surgery, medical, natal/anti-natal unit, medical-technical, geriatrics, psychiatry and disability.
At the end of 2009, the hospital extension allowed CHAM to extend its geriatric unit as well as reorganising the hospital, thanks to the new space, thereby supporting better care for patients.
By the end of 2012 two new buildings opened: a home for older disabled adults at Campagne-lesHesdin and a psychiatry day care unit at Fruges
At the end of 2014, CHAM continues to improve its care services for users by:
- opening a building dedicated to accommodating new MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) medical imaging equipment;
- deploying its new Interoperable Electronic Health Record (IEHR);
- rebuilding the psychiatry day care unit in the town of Berck sur Mer.
OPPRAD: the genesis of the project
In response to the challenging issue of managing appointments on the medical imaging technical platform, CHAM’s Information Systems Management has developed a web application called “OPPRAD”, which in English stands for Radiology Technical Platform Planning Tool.
The benefits of the “OPPRAD” application are numerous and in particular facilitate increasing the flexibility and the time taken to record appointments previously completed in a paper book located in radiology, limiting the number of steps taken by the handler (listing in the patient record after connecting and searching for the patient and then the activity based on a paper thesaurus as well as enforcing a consistency check), increasing the completeness of data collection; records are very often non-matching or incomplete or contain inputting errors and also to automatically manage the work lists in particular avoiding identity validation errors (multiple copies of the same information, etc.), and making healthcare service schedules available in real time
OPPRAD at Gest@g
In view of the ergonomics of the application and the general satisfaction on the part of users, it has been extended to managing all appointments throughout endoscopy departments, outpatient consultations, surgical units – as well as other services such as accident and emergency under the name of “Gest@g”, which in English stands for Agenda Management. Other services such as sterilisation are to be brought on line and other functions, such as the follow-up of Implantable Medical Devices – IMD – that are to be deployed in the very near future.

“ The MioCARE™ tablets are multi-purpose digital devices; they replace the digital dictaphone, the paper diary, the pencil and paper for recording statistics and will soon replace the telephone.”
