Our Lady's Hospital Navan is a hospital in Ireland whose Emergency Department has adopted Eolas Medical as its primary platform for accessing internal knowledge, local policies, procedures, medication guidelines, and staff rosters all at the point of care.
Before implementing Eolas Medical, the Emergency Department faced significant challenges around policy access and team communication. Clinicians had to leave the resuscitation area to find and download policies on a computer — taking them away from actively monitoring patients during critical moments. Staff updates and roster changes were communicated via WhatsApp, which disrupted team members on their days off and lacked the structure needed for reliable information sharing.
Implementation was very easy, and staff immediately took to the platform. Within just a few days, the team was seeing tangible benefits. Clinicians enjoyed using the app from the outset, finding it both intuitive and genuinely useful in their daily work. The straightforward onboarding process meant that the department could begin realising improvements with minimal disruption to clinical workflows.
Eolas has definitively improved the team's efficiency. Clinicians spend more time looking after patients and less time searching for protocols. Having policies accessible directly on their phones — rather than needing to find a computer — has transformed how quickly staff can access the information they need. The platform has proved particularly impactful for medication safety: local medication guidelines uploaded to Eolas have improved compliance and prescribing accuracy. In one notable example, a nurse was able to quickly pull up the local amiodarone infusion policy on Eolas to identify and correct an incorrectly charted dosage for a patient in resus — ensuring the patient received the correct dose without delay.
Guideline adherence has improved as a direct consequence of faster, easier access to policies. When staff can reach the right protocol in seconds, compliance follows naturally. The department has also utilised Eolas for rosters, allowing staff to easily access their schedules from home without relying on informal messaging channels. Updating policies and rosters is straightforward, and staff consistently have access to the most up-to-date documents. Frustration has been reduced, and adherence to policy has improved across the board.
"Using Eolas has made the working life easier. I can access all local policies and procedures quickly from my phone. The department has also utilised it for our rosters so staff can easily access their roster at home. Makes updating policies and rosters easy and staff constantly have access to the most up-to-date relevant documents."
