Transforming community nurses
SIGNIFICANTLY MORE PRODUCTIVITY BY CUTTING DOWN ON TRAVEL TIME
• Using Toughbook helped
transform the working life of
community nurses at
Cheshire and Wirral
Partnership NHS
Foundation Trust.
“There is no doubt in my mind
that using the Toughbook has
helped to transform my
productivity and would be a
major benefit to community
nurses and patients in helping
to carry out our duties.”

Derby NHS goes wireless
NOTEBOOKS ALLOW SMOOTH TRANSITION OF COLLECTING PATIENT INFORMATION WIRELESSLY
• Panasonic’s Toughbook
has been used within the
boundaries of the hospitals,
as well as used by
community based district
nurses, social care workers,
occupational therapists and
physiotherapists.
• The notebook has enabled
the smooth transition of
collecting patient information
wirelessly and updating data
instantly.
Improving patient safety & care
PIONEERING REVOLUTIONARY NEW TECHNOLOGY ON MOBILE CLINICAL ASSISTANTS
•
Toughbook’s MCA was the
hardware used to support
Portsmouth Hospitals NHS
Trust’s new state-of-the-art
software solution.
“Panasonic’s MCA display
allowed for easy review of
patient data on wards,
once it has been collected
on the PDAs. The visual
displays are clear and
bright, so graphs and
colour-coded risk scores
are clearly visible. ”

Kids order meals on Toughbooks
BIRMINGHAM CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL HAS IMPLEMENTED A NEW FOOD ORDERING SYSTEM
•
The hospital introduced a
new food ordering and
management system using
Panasonic Toughbook MCA.
“We believe it’s a brilliant
system and we’re very
excited at the benefits this
will bring our patients and
our staff. If patients see a
picture they are more likely
to order the correct meal,
suited to their needs,
reducing waste and
improving their experience.”

Efficiently recording patient data
IMPROVING CARE WHERE IT’S NEEDED MOST
•
Revolutionising the way
East Midlands Ambulance
Service crews recorded
patient information.
“We quickly realised
Toughbooks were right for
the job we wanted to do in
the field. A lot of the time
our crews are out in the
cold, wet and snow, and in
dirty conditions, such as
under cars at RTAs. In
these conditions, the
products we use regularly
take hard knocks.”
