It has been a pleasure working with Hicom. They have helped us, the Waikato Regional Diabetes Service, develop an upgraded diabetes database that is used by all staff members from administration to clinical staff as an integral part of our daily work. Their technical representative Ben Davis, with whom we had the most communication, was respectful, open and receptive to our needs. They worked with our IT department to make the database compatible with the main existing hospital computer systems. They were prompt in delivering our specific requirements. During the testing phase of the database, the turnaround time to work out the inevitable “bugs” was quick making the system user-friendly. We look forward to our ongoing work with them to further progress the diabetes database and reporting systems.

Digitising our processes has meant that the aim to achieving paperless records throughout the entire Trust is well and truly insightful. The functionality of being able to access individual patient data, whether recent or historic, and at any time, is proving to be extremely useful for when we review patient care and for the NPDA. Previously, data was just stored, however Twinkle is more than just a database, it’s a live clinical information system.

Having immediate access to the information at the point of care ensures we are able to make better informed decisions on patient management. Diamond has given us the ability to quickly search for information and audit data in a way which would be impossible with paper records.
