What sets Sabentis apart in prevention management: the Hospital Universitari Sant Joan testimonial
Most OHS management platforms do one thing well: record data. They let you log check-ups, save assessments and file records. The problem is that recording data and knowing what to do with it are two very different things. And that is exactly where, according to the Hospital Universitari Sant Joan testimonial, Sabentis makes the difference in prevention management hospital environments.
Dr. Joan Inglés Torruella, from the prevention service at Hospital Universitari Sant Joan, explains in his own words what led them to choose Sabentis and what has changed in their day-to-day work since then, in this interview on how to choose occupational risk prevention software. His testimonial focuses on two things any prevention manager will recognise: the ability to draw conclusions from data and the agility in tracking preventive measures.
The difference is not in recording data. It’s in exploiting it
When Dr. Inglés is asked what sets Sabentis apart from other platforms, his answer is clear. The health surveillance component and the technical component were considerably more complete than in other options on the market.
But the most interesting nuance comes next. Most platforms are sufficient when it comes to recording data, that is, having a place to write down the information. The real difference lies in exploiting that data. In being able to draw conclusions. In turning recorded information into useful knowledge for making preventive decisions.
That is a fundamental distinction. A system that only stores data leaves all the analysis work in the hands of the team. A system that allows you to exploit that data turns information into a real management tool.
Your own protocols, not closed templates
The second differentiating element Dr. Inglés highlights is versatility. And specifically, the ability to introduce and manage the prevention service’s own protocols.
In many platforms, protocols come predefined and closed. They are something rigid that comes already built into the program and that the organisation has to adapt to. Sabentis works the other way around. It allows the organisation itself, or the prevention service itself, to define its protocols and apply them to workstations in a parameterised way.
That flexibility is especially valuable in an environment like a hospital, where worker profiles are very different from each other and each one requires health surveillance adapted to its specific risks. The surveillance of a healthcare professional exposed to biological risk is not the same as that of a maintenance or administrative worker. Being able to parameterise protocols by role is what makes truly reality-adjusted surveillance possible.
Tracking preventive measures: from manual chasing to agile control
The second major improvement Dr. Inglés notices in his day-to-day work relates to the management of preventive measures. And specifically, to tracking and controlling their execution.
Previously, checking whether a preventive measure had been applied was a laborious process. It involved asking each service whether they had done this or that, handling Excel spreadsheets and carrying out an almost individualised chase of the different managers or people responsible for executing each measure. Slow, manual work, prone to things being left unresolved.
With Sabentis, that process has changed completely. The people responsible for executing the measures have access to the platform and can indicate directly whether a measure has been applied or not. That speeds up the work enormously and makes it much easier. The prevention service stops chasing information and gains direct visibility over the status of each measure.
Why this matters: from recording to real control
The Hospital Universitari Sant Joan testimonial sums up very well what distinguishes a truly useful OHS management platform. It is not about having a place to store data. Almost any tool does that. It is about being able to exploit that information, adapt it to the reality of each organisation and turn it into effective control over prevention.
An HSE Platform like Sabentis delivers the three things Dr. Inglés highlights: complete health surveillance management, protocols the organisation can configure itself and agile tracking of preventive measures that replaces manual chasing with direct control.
That combination is what turns prevention management into something more than a data archive. It turns it into a tool that helps protect people better. Which, in the end, is what it is all about.
