Digitize Regulatory Compliance in Your Healthcare Facility

Posted on by

Surglogs is the first software company to offer a full suite of automated regulatory compliance solutions for healthcare facilities like hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. It is designed to improve the everyday routines of clinicians by replacing the time and labor-intensive pen-and-paper documentation process with an easy-to-navigate digital platform.

The platform features mobile and desktop applications that can be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection, enabling clinicians to gather real-time data on the facility’s regulatory compliance. This includes all accreditation logs, biomedical logs, scheduled drugs, life & fire safety, credentialing, vendor contracts and much more.

The Surglogs compliance suite is customized to the facility’s needs and securely houses the entire database of logs in a HIPAA compliant, encrypted cloud. Surglogs has saved thousands of dollars in labor and storage costs for healthcare facilities across the United States through improving clinical compliance calculations as well as providing clinicians with peace of mind for their future accreditation and state surveys.

Surglogs representatives work alongside clinical leadership to tailor these modules to fit the specific compliance requirements of their facility. Surglogs compliance suite not only adds time back into a clinician’s routine but also greatly reduces the cost of running a facility when compared to the labor and storage costs expended for pen-and-paper documentation.

Users can access their custom Surglogs dashboard through the desktop portal. The Surglogs mobile application allows clinicians to see the exact same information no matter their location, which frees them up for continued education, QAPI’s or even free time with their family.

Head Medical wins NHS Dumfries & Galloway recruitment contract

Posted on by

The contract covers the supply of three consultants, medical grade doctors and GPs in a variety of specialisms, including anaesthetics, gastroenterology, paediatrics and general surgery.

All positions are permanent roles and Head Medical will focus on Europe as the main area to identify suitable candidates.

A fully integrated recruitment campaign will be launched in the coming months, including a comprehensive marketing drive across the UK and Europe, in addition to engaging with their existing UK and international database of doctors. Head Medical will also be running events in key target countries, with locations including Sweden and Greece.

The campaign will run until all vacancies are filled, with the first positions expected to be filled by summer 2018.

Head Medical has a proven track record of success in delivering similar contracts, helping clients recruit to locations and specialisms that are challenging for a number of reasons.

Jo Hood, Head of UK Recruitment, said:

“We’re delighted to be working alongside NHS Dumfries and Galloway as their recruitment partner. Delivering recruitment solutions of this nature is at the heart of our business – we have a wealth of experience in matching doctors with vacancies around the world.

“In our experience, it can be harder to attract candidates to vacancies in rural locations. However, these roles will offer suitable candidates an excellent opportunity to develop their career at a time when significant investment is being made in improved patient care. The new Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary is a modern facility where staff will have access to the most advanced technology. In addition, the new GMS contract for GPs in Scotland is set to improve their role in terms of volume and nature of workload.”

Head Medical is part of The Taranata Group, a group of four companies owned by recruitment investor Paul Atkinson, comprising Head Medical, Head Resourcing, Change Recruitment, and Atkinson MacLeod. The talent ‘supergroup’, headquartered in Scotland, employs almost 150 people and turns over around £65m.
