Accurate and efficient monitoring is essential for delivering high-quality care to children. Welch Allyn CSM Observation Machines provide automated recording of vital signs, including temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturations, directly into the electronic observation system. This integration improves patient safety by reducing the risk of errors associated with manual recording and enables more effective use of nursing time.

To enhance care, Northbrook Ward would like four Welch Allyn observation machines, ensuring comprehensive monitoring for children of all ages. The machines will be strategically placed across the ward: one in a six-bedded bay, one in medical day case bays, and the remaining two for cubicles, minimising delays caused by nurses needing to find the required equipment.

Key Benefits:

• Seamless integration with the electronic observation system for improved accuracy.
• Faster, more efficient patient monitoring, reducing administrative burden on nurses.
• Increased patient safety through real-time data capture and reduced manual errors.
• Better resource allocation, ensuring all areas of the ward have dedicated equipment.

Currently, Northbrook Ward lacks the necessary machines to transition to an electronic observation system. This investment will directly benefit all children, including those receiving oncology care, by ensuring timely and accurate monitoring, ultimately improving outcomes and safety standards.
