Easy to customise to your own requirements

Systematic Columna  is extremely flexible and can be customised for use by any department and any specialist and hospital. Users can easily decide the structure of the patient records as well as define the content, such as standard results and clinical pathways.

Create your own best overview of patient records

Each department can customise its overview screen to contain the most significant information from the patient records. In this way, the overview will contain the precise information that is important for the achievement of efficient working processes within the department’s specialty.

User-defined healthcare content

Columna’s integrated tools for defining the healthcare content permit healthcare professionals to customise Columna, so that the application provides the best possible support for diagnostics, planning, nursing care, treatment, etc. Healthcare professionals can then apply best practice to define standard activities in relation to outpatient appointments, blood pressure measurement, discussions, administration of medication, operations, etc. – i.e. a plan for when activities are to be carried out and how regularly. In Columna, standard activities act as guidelines in the day-to-day work processes, and ensure uniform treatment.

Set up clinical pathways and associated guidelines

Clinical pathways are a compendium of multiple standard activities or other clinical pathways, which in total make up a plan focused on (for example) a specific disease. Clinical pathways make it possible to plan the best possible care pathway, while at the same time ensuring that all of the implicated healthcare professionals have both a general overview and an awareness of their own tasks in relation to this. Just like standard activities, clinical pathways can be set up as required by the department, and guidelines can be linked to individual clinical pathways.

User-defined forms or outlines for documentation

There is standard documentation associated with standard activities, ensuring the results of the individual activities are registered in a consistent, relevant way. There may, for example, be a standard for how a blood pressure result, or an epileptic fit is documented. The standard documentation is presented for the user as a form or an outline, that can also be user-defined.

The structured format makes it possible to gather and re-use record data from clinical databases for quality assurance and research – resulting in significantly less time and manpower spent on entering data several times, and data that is more reliable.
