This enables
- accuracy- comprehensiveness
- timeliness
of information available to decision makers at all levels.
It increases reliability of information.
So far so easy

Data collection is a small part but an important part of the whole process
If it goes wrong...
And there is still an issue with data collection: it is still often done with
paper
Collecting with paper
● Inconsistent use of nomenclature of medical equipment● Transcribing process: human error in transcribing● Shorthand/unclear writing no longer readable when data entry is
delayed● Large data collection sheets due to the quantity of collected
information● Many sheets must be kept together (risk of data loss)● Until data entered in computer, difficult to make back-ups● Illustrating photographs tedious to name and link to the specific
equipment record● No check on forgotten/skipped data fields● Final External Quality Assurance can only be done after data
entry and transfer of data (at best in weeks but often months)
But we have found an answer
Tablets and forms are a brilliant step forward in HCI which we have
leveraged for data collection purposes
DEMO!!
Key feature: doing it all on one device
Ultimate effects:
- reduces visibility of technology- enables better focus on goals- enables better prioritising- enables better administration
Better administration and maybe better management
