About this app
Tatu Nurse is a registered not-for-profit company that aims to empower nurses in developing countries so they can achieve productive & decent work and serve patients more efficiently. We support nurses in their work so that they can focus on saving lives
Uganda, just like other least developed African countries, faces a critical shortage of health workers required to achieve the UN Health‐related Sustainable Development Goals (WHO 2015a). Uganda has a nurse to patient ratio of 1 per 11,000 against the World Health Organization recommended ratio of 2.5 per 1,000.
On average, a nurse has 40 patients under their care every day. The nurse is required to take vitals of these patients, administer treatments periodically; 6 hourly, 8 hourly, 12-hourly, etc. The same nurse is required to perform basic nursing care such as bed making, 2 hourly turning of very sick patients, bed baths among other tasks. At the end of the day, nurses are burnt out. They do not complete all the tasks they are supposed to in time. As a result, a number of patients deteriorate or even die.
The patient to nurse ratio is not only affecting patients but also nurses who are at risk of emotional exhaustion, stress, increased risk of error, thereby compromising patient safety, increased occupational injury, increase in nurse turnover, thereby leading to greater costs for the employer and the health care system.
Tatu nurse mobile phone application enables nurses to work smarter by providing them with the right information at the right time, hence improving the efficiency of bedside monitoring. Tatu is a Swahili word that means three. Our mission is to boost the performance and efficiency of nurses by at least 3 times. Nurses are our heroes. We need to support them to do their work better.
Tatu nurse fits in the daily routine of nurses enabling them to manage the many patients under their care efficiently. Tatu nurse is tailored to the specific context and needs of low-resource hospitals, has local technical support available and is economically sustainable. We maintain a patient-centered, practical, and integrated approach focused on improving the quality of nursing care.
