Hear from those using eCommunity

I can’t talk about safer staffing without talking about eCommunity. The system gives us the assurance that we are safely allocating work to all our staff. It gives us assurance that we’re not overloading them. It gives us assurance that each visit is matched to the clinician’s abilities in terms of their skills. The whole system absolutely supports safer staffing.
Paula Guest Safer Staffing Implementation Lead (Community Nursing), Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust
The team now have more time to spend with patients, as there is less manual work and administration to do. eCommunity is a one-stop-shop – it makes our schedules more efficient, allows us to track length of visits and the audit trail gives us transparency of data, so we can see what care was given and when.
Sophie Pearce Junior Sister, The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust
To be able to see where staff are in real time and see how they’re doing with their workload is incredibly useful, as it gives us a full overview and we can see schedules being completed as the day progresses.
Suzy Keeling Operational Lead, Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
Productivity and supported staff is a great start, but where we’re really beginning to see an impact is with our senior nurses and clinical nurse managers who are being freed from the admin and have more time to care and supervise the wider workforce. It releases them to gain more oversight on care quality.
Julie Pearce Chief Nurse, Executive Director of Quality Caring Services, Marie Curie
eCommunity allows the flexibility for patient needs to change. We have complete visibility of all reviews for the day, making planning for the team much easier. It’s simple to make changes throughout the day and ensure the clinical team are aware.
Jo Perry Clinical Triage Lead, Guy’s St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust
