Hywel Dda now had digital nurses Paper records are out as South Pembrokeshire and Withybush hospitals become the first in Wales to document their nursing care on a new digitally-based record. The Hywel Dda University Health Board says the current practice of recording and keeping paper records has become a burden, and is taking frontline staff away from care activities. So it launched the Welsh Nursing Care Record (WNCR) earlier this year using the latest tablet-based technology to document nursing entries and risk assessments. The health board is also working with other organisations to produce digital nursing documents that follows patients through their healthcare journey, using the same standardised nursing language to reduce duplication and improve patient experience and care.
