All RealQ® installations must be easy to use. Ideally, an installation facilitates everything from documentation in journal to research databases, quality registers and internal quality systems – in other words, it saves time. The worst case scenario is that it is “time neutral,” meaning that the program may not result in double the work for data entry, for example.

Higher quality at the clinic may not be attained at the expense of the doctor’s time. This is why one criterion for all of our installations is that they generate a higher level of quality without demanding more of the user’s time.

What the healthcare staff think

According to healthcare staff, the advantages of using RealQ® are as follows:

“A great opportunity for coordinating the various units within the hospital.”

“Staff of all categories can use it.”

“A great quality-assurance tool.”

“RealQ makes it easy to get a better understanding of your own results and that of the office as a whole.”

“Easy to recruit patients for scientific studies.”

“A useful, logical and easy-to-use system.”

“When new scientific data is published, for instance when a certain combination of medications is shown to have a negative effect, you can quickly (the same day) identify the patients who are taking those medications and either modify or discontinue treatment.”

“Makes my everyday work easier.”

“For the most part, it replaces the patient journal in meetings with the patient.”

“A good pedagogical tool for meeting with patients and for teaching medical students.”

“Easy to get an overview of the patient’s treatment and results.”

“Good for treatment conferences and in consultations with other Swedish doctors.”
