Full Story

Challenge

  • Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (BSMHFT) operates across a 172-square-mile region with around 135 mobile consultant teams, making it challenging to correspond effectively
  • Traditionally dictation was recorded onto tapes and then typed up by hand, making the process lengthy and inefficient
  • The analogue tapes were easily damaged and presented a security risk as they contained confidential client information

Solution

  • BlackBerry® smartphone
  • BlackBerry® Enterprise Server
  • BigHand Digital Dictation

Benefits

  • The BlackBerry® solution with BigHand has been popular with employees; at the end of the pilot scheme 67% of all dictations were coming through the BlackBerry solution, with only 100 of the 500 consultants using it
  • The solution brings greater security and has helped enable more consultants to use mobile dictation without investing in new technology
  • Digital dictation has helped improve workflow management and workload allocation to secretaries
  • By making analogue tapes redundant, the solution brings cost savings and improving the allocation of secretarial time has removed the need temporary staffing during staff absences
