The problem with paper-based WRIG-30 forms

The traditional paper and PDF-based workflow for the WRIG-30 report is fraught with inefficiencies and frustrations that create administrative burdens and risk. We've worked with hospitals to uncover the key areas of concern to create awareness & change.

Operational Inefficiency

  • Lack of Real-time view of completion, creates overheads to investigate and a lag in program status.

  • Chasing approvers in a multi-step process is time consuming.

  • Converting from paper to digital has high overheads.

  • Assessing & compare performance across a program of assessments is time consuming.

Lack of Context and Guidance:

  • Standard PDF offers minimal context, increases confusion for IMG, leads to poor quality and wide variation in the format of answers.

  • Incorrect answers increased likelihood resubmission.

Time-Consuming Corrections and Resubmissions:

  • Inability to easily edit responses increases resubmissions.

  • This rigid process frustrates busy clinicians & supervisors.

Poor Data & Decision Making

  • Manual processes result in inaccurate, inconsistent, and incomplete data.

  • Hinders effective reporting, analysis of trainee progression.

Why digitize your WRIG-30 process?

Digitizing the WRIG-30 form provides a streamlined and efficient solution that addresses the shortcomings of the paper-based system.

"We've reclaimed countless administrative hours previously lost to chasing paper forms. Our supervisors appreciate the clarity, and our reporting to AHPRA is now faster and more accurate." - MEO, QLD Hospital

The benefits of moving to a digital platform include:

AHPRA-compliant:

The digital workflow is fully mapped to the AHPRA PDF, ensuring compliance and easy submission.

Increased completion rates

Automated reminders and notifications help to ensure that reports are completed and submitted on time.

Enhanced tracking and visibility

The platform provides a clear overview of the status of each assessment, allowing for easy tracking and monitoring.

Secure and Compliant data management

Download data for customized reporting provides valuable insights into performance and compliance.

Med App is hosted in Australia and complies with the Australian Privacy Act, ensuring data is kept secure.

Simplified administration

Digital distribution and collection of forms reduce the administrative burden on staff.

Setting up your digital WRIG-30 form

The process of setting up the digital WRIG-30 form is straightforward and can be broken down into the following steps:

  1. Enable forms: Contact the Med App team to have the forms feature enabled for your account. Contact@medapps.com.au

  2. Create a testing cohort: Establish a small group of users to test the digital form and workflow before a full rollout. You'll need to set up 3 cohorts (IMG, Principal supervisor, Co-Supervisor) How to create cohorts

  3. Create a distribution: Set up a distribution list to send the form to the relevant IMGs and supervisors. Sending form distributions

  4. Test with administrators and clinicians: Conduct thorough testing with both administrative staff and clinicians to ensure a smooth user experience.

  5. Develop a communication plan: Create a clear communication plan and supporting materials to inform all stakeholders about the new digital process.

Tracking results

We know that managing data can be a challenge, in fact for DCTs alone it's estimated that 25 hrs each year can go into reporting. We can help create easy reporting structure to help your hospital find answers quickly.

Implementing new processes

Med App prides itself on supporting hospitals through digital transformation & change, having helped over 85 healthcare facilities adopt efficient workflows.

We work with your team to:

  • Understand current processes & adopt to new digitised workflows to minimise disruptions.

  • Training & supporting your teams utilising the new processes & to get the most efficiency gains from automated reminders.

  • Communications templates & plan - We provide proven communication strategies & templates to significantly reduce the admin burden, track clinical engagement. (See below example)
