Dear All,
Is anyone using the PTSv5 Porter module? If so how easy was it to set up and what devices are your porters using to collect and deliver medicines to the wards? Any issues, awareness or lessons learned you care to share on the forum.

Many Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris

Here at LPT we use this system, setup was fairly straightforward from what i can remember as been many years since the initial rollout.

Ii believe you need to create a web address on the same server as your PTS database and will obviously need some kind of connection whether this be solely WIFI or combination with 4/5G mobile network. Although our porters found this slow as 4G would keep kicking in, so we opted for WIFI only which has its own issue if connective poor. (manually uploads fixes this) you would obviously need your IT department involved for support.

We use standard mobile phone device which are currently Samsung A32 which is our currently used trust mobile device which we have locked down to use the delivery app only.

We also only use signature on collection and delivery and again for any controlled drugs but barcode scanning functionality is also available which we initially but found signatures to be a better process as our porters also found this time consuming due to the run capacity time available.

All in all a great system with some other function we do not use due to the nature of our equipment set up

Hope this helps

Hi Paul,
Thanks for sharing the details on the installation and configuration. Really appreciate sharing the issues you encountered and potential solution. We will take this onboard when we implement ours in the near future.
Many Thanks
