CapitalNurse’s Digital IV Therapy Passport hits two key milestones

CapitalNurse’s Digital Intravenous (IV) Therapy Passport has now reached two significant milestones:

• 100 per cent implementation in London trusts.
• Over 80 per cent adoption in London Higher Education Institutions following the Future Nurse Standards.

The CapitalNurse Digital Intravenous (IV) Therapy Passport is helping to transform IV medication administration training and assessment across London and enables health care professionals to transfer their IV skills between organisations without the need to retrain. The Digital IV Therapy Passport transforms the learning journey from theory to practice, establishing a ‘virtual learning cycle’ that seeks to enhance and revolutionise education and assessment in nursing and midwifery.

The impact of this digital clinical technology innovation is being utilised to digitise other clinical competencies, including Critical Care IV Therapy Passport, Critical Care Step competencies. Find out more about the CapitalNurse Digital Intravenous (IV) Therapy Passport.
