Demographic change is leading to an increasingly aging and care-dependent population nationwide. The number of seniors is rising, while the number of qualified nursing staff is declining. At the same time, chronically ill and multimorbid patients, combined with a reduction in available beds, present significant challenges for many hospitals and care facilities. Yes, the nursing landscape in Germany faces many challenges: overtime, heavy responsibility, shift work, and constant stress push nursing staff to their limits and shape their daily routine. This permanently high workload carries the risk of treatment and medication errors. In the worst case, this can have serious consequences for the health of your patients. Amid all this stress, increasing documentation requirements, and time pressure, there is often little time left for the essential work with and for the patients.
How can the demanding daily work of nursing staff be eased, and how can care-dependent patients also benefit from positive developments? Medication processes and the requirements for quality and safety in hospitals and care facilities have changed and evolved enormously in recent years. The keyword here is: Digitalization. It opens new perspectives, offers opportunities, and optimizes processes in everyday care. Time-consuming administrative tasks can be optimized by using electronic nursing documentation systems, saving valuable time for nursing staff. Care workflows can be organized more efficiently, and communication between nursing staff and physicians is sustainably improved
At Mesalvo, we ask ourselves: What needs to change in nursing? We are committed to creating the highest possible safety and quality of care for patients with our solutions while improving working conditions for nurses. Our nursing documentation covers the entire care process – from assessment through care planning and service recording to evaluation. For example, physician orders and planned nursing measures appear together on a task list – everyone works and documents in one program, minimizing the risk of information loss during shift changes or absences and increasing safety in medication administration. Moving away from confusing paper documentation toward an intuitive and time-saving documentation solution. Simple check-off of measures in the care plan, care report, and wound documentation makes daily creation of comprehensive reports much easier and allows more time to focus specifically on patients’ individual needs. Because we know what really matters in everyday nursing.
