We undertook several major changes to our service and showed substantial improvements (discussed in another abstract being submitted to the Sleep & Breathing 2021 conference). Part of the changes made to the service included building a Microsoft access database to house all information required for our sleep patients with an automated flagging system to alert when a patient is approaching a deadline and also with integrated audit functionality. This digital solution also incorporated automation. The database could automatically download new referrals, import sleep studies, export them to other programs and create sleep study report letters. Time was also saved by automating clinic outcomes.To assess the impact of the above digital solutions on staff working within the service, a questionnaire was used. Of the 21 questionnaires sent, we received 11 back.The results are as below (1= disagree strongly, 5 = fully agree, average figures appended): The time spent on administrative tasks has been greatly reduced 4The accuracy of data has been greatly increased 4It is now much easier to access the necessary data I need for my work 4I feel that these digital solutions have improved the overall experience for patients of the service 4I see great benefit in further digital solutions to help improve my work 4 Hence, these digital solutions have been well received by our team, especially the automatic sleep study report letter functionality. We hope other centres find digital solutions including automation a key implementation to help improve their service.FootnotesCite this article as ERJ Open Research 2021; 7: Suppl. 7, 19.This is an ERS Lung Science Conference abstract.
