Hyewon Medical Foundation Sejong Hospital announced that it has developed a 'Patient Transfer App' to increase the safety, speed, and efficiency of patients transferred within the hospital and applied it to the medical sites of Bucheon Sejong Hospital and Incheon Sejong Hospital.

The patient transfer app is linked to the hospital's Electronic Medical Record System (EMR). You can check the entire process, such as moving the patient, on the app. This enables real-time communication and collaboration between nurses and transfer drivers, and has the advantage of increasing work efficiency.

In detail, when a nurse requests an emergency or other patient transfer through EMR, the transfer driver can check the patient assigned to him with the app.



Here, the transfer driver analyzes the patient's condition and the transfer distance so that the shortest distance for the patient and the optimal transfer path effect can be achieved. After that, it will be authenticated again through the barcode of the patient's bracelet, and the patient will be finally confirmed before transferring.

Park Jin-sik, chairman of the Hyewon Medical Foundation Sejong Hospital, said "There is a risk of errors in hospital work that is running urgently such as emergency." The patient transfer app enables real-time communication between collaborative departments to block such errorsWe will continue to do our best to have a safer and optimal medical system than "."
