We are please to announce the newly released Sligo Regional Hospital Antimicrobial Guidelines App which offers staff easy access to the hospitals internal guidelines on their own smartphone devices.
As well as being available on both iOS and Android devices, the guidelines are fully functional offline so that they are always available to members of staff. Hospital administrators have access to the MEG online content management system so that the app content can be modified in-house, keeping all of the guidelines up to date as and when they are approved by the relevant committees. Excellent ongoing technical support also ensures the continued success of the antimicrobial guidelines app in supporting medical workers at the point of care and helping to improve patient outcomes.
