Digitising the on-call medical team's patient list system: a QIP by Fahad-Bin Zahid

“…Recognising these issues, I independently developed a SharePoint-integrated Excel system to address these problems. Materials and methods: Baseline issues with paper-based system (survey results): • 66.7% of registrars dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with the paper system; • 80% reported issues such as lost lists or incomplete information; • 41% of registrars reported incidents of losing paper lists; • 86.7% of respondents reported finding the handover process time-consuming or error-prone; • Average time spent rewriting patient details during handovers: 10–30 min. • Key metrics monitored: • Reduction in handover times; • System usability (user interaction with features, such as priority setting, location etc); • Feedback on efficiency and user satisfaction; • Environmental impact: complete elimination of paper lists.Framework used: plan–do–study–act (PDSA)System development: • A live Excel-based patient list hosted on SharePoint and accessible MS Teams channel; • Features: priority setting, timestamping, real-time logging, clerking status updates, specialty columns, and live accessibility for all members within the designated MS teams channel.Stakeholder engagement: • Regular feedback sessions with registrars and consultants; • Collaboration with the digital innovation team.Sustainability principles: • Eliminated paper waste, thus reducing the environmental impact and securely archiving older lists within a Trust-approved system for auditability and governance; • Used existing infrastructure for minimal financial investment. …”
