Interactive Voting - NHS And Healthcare, Decision Making examples
Whether at department or board level, decisions are made on a daily basis.
The electronic voting system enables these decisions to be made quickly and concisely by asking members/employees to vote on a question, choosing one of the options displayed. Results are instantaneous and the data is stored to be used within the reporting facility at a later date.
There are several features within the system which facilitate decision-making. The priority ranking element enables members to rank answer options in order of importance to them, which is invaluable when deciding on where budgets should be spent.
The comparison facility highlights changes in opinions. For example, members of the board may vote initially to spend money on building a new hospital wing. However, after seeing reports based on a public consultation meeting indicating that the public wishes more funding to be spent on eradicating superbugs, the board may change its original decision and opt to spend the budget on employing more cleaning staff and researching new ways to keep the hospital hygienic.
The demographic feature indicates whether one group is significantly more likely to be affected by a decision than another group. The outcome of which could change the original decision.
