CIS Benefits and Pay Back Time
DAINTEL has worked closely with leading ICU departments in 3 Danish Regions in order to determine the productivity improvements that can be realized by implementing a CIS solution.

The potential is divided in to four categories:   

• Capacity utilization
• Work load for nurses
• Work load for doctors 
• Rational drug use

In addition to the reduced resource requirements in terms of staff and drugs, a number of clear advantages can be obtained with CIS: 

• Improved quality off all available treatment data due to the decision support and quality check integrated in CIS, Improved decision and reduced risk of error due to the increased quality and availability of real time data, 
• Elimination of the need to transfer data from hand written reports and protocols to electronic forms and hence risk of error, 
• Integration of all CIS data with existing Hospital IT systems, 
• Access to all relevant data on a shared platform that allows for effective sharing of all data by all user real time and for effective management of resources at each ICU and across ICUs at, for example, regional level.  

For regional CIS solution for 100 in 8-10 ICU departments the payback time is less than 1 year!
