Mobile application for nurses
With RIVIAM's mobile immunisations application, nurses have secure access to clinic lists of children with their associated consents and triage history on their device.
Transforms public health service
There is no need to spend time chasing and reading paper parent consent forms on the day so nurses can provide children and schools with the best experience.
“The app allows the nurses to view all the clinical information relating to the child and complete the child’s vaccination record at the time of the session with the child in front of them, meaning once they leave that school the session is complete.
This takes a huge time pressure off the team so they can focus on preparation for the next school.” Charlotte Forward, Professional Lead 5-19 Public Health Nursing & School Age Immunisations, HCRG Care Group (formerly Virgin Care)
Reduces risks
By removing all paper-based processes, there is less room for error because nurses have all the data they need for the child's vaccination via the app on their device, reducing the risk of double vaccinations.
Easy to use
Designed with clinicians, the app is intuitive and very easy to use. We've received great feedback from nurses.
“Our team of nurses is very pleased to be able to use the mobile application as it’s much quicker and gives us that extra time to spend with children and schools.
We’ve also found that the app is user friendly and our nurses find it easy to use. It’s a really safe way of storing all the vital consent information about each child and has also reduced our triage and administration time.
Parents have also told us that they like the new online consent form as they find it quick and easy to complete online.” Suzy Mason, Team Leader at Somerset NHS Foundation Trust's School Aged Immunisation Nursing Team
Works with or without internet connection
The app works online or offline ensuring that clinics can be undertaken regardless of internet connection.
Automatic update of child's record
Once nurses have given the vaccination, they can digitally record the outcome using their mobile device.
When the app is online, it automatically updates the vaccination outcomes in RIVIAM. If RIVIAM is connected to a clinical system such as TPP SystmOne™, the outcomes are recorded in real time.
This frees up time for nurses to spend with children because there is no need to go back to base after clinics to record vaccination outcomes.
“The new app brings further efficiencies because it updates the child's clinical record as soon as the vaccination is given” Charlotte Forward, Professional Lead 5-19 Public Health Nursing & School Age Immunisations, HCRG Care Group (formerly Virgin Care)
Available now for Apple and Android
The app is available for the Apple iPad and for Android devices.
RIVIAM's eConsent immunisation service enables organisations to digitise the entire immunisations process from beginning to end and is designed to improve the delivery of vaccination programmes.
