Dorset Healthcare NHS Trust

The Requirement

In order to provide patients and carers in Dorset with up to date, accurate information, at places convenient to them, Dorset Healthcare has installed a number of touchscreen information kiosks at key sites.

The Solution

Amatica's mental health information system is a web based service that gives users easy access to information, advice and guidance on a range of mental health issues. The large buttons and simple design make it easy to navigate and find information, regardless of the user's level of IT knowledge.

A secure online content management facility enables staff to update information easily and quickly. The system also allows content to be tailored to suit individual sites. If necessary, the kiosk in each location can display local services and information.

The Outcome

Dorset Healthcare now has a system that enhances their approach to improving accessibility to information. The service can also lead to reduced clinical risk insurance premiums, thanks to the services offered by the kiosks, which help to ensure patients and carers can be well informed.
