Empowering PCNs

Work together with shared appointment books

One of the big priorities that we have as a PCN, is to reduce the admissions to hospitals, wait times and associated costs - we can now look at the time saved within practice by signposting patients to care that’s more appropriate for them. Now that we’re able to review our services and make sure that they’re doing what we are commissioned to do, we are really hitting the markers for our commissioners.” “

EMIS Web® PCN Hub helps practices collaborate more effectively by making it simple to manage a shared appointment book. It’s not just about referring patients to other services, you can also offer appointments across practices within your network. This gives you greater flexibility and control over how capacity is used. This makes it easier to match patients with the right clinician, at the right time. With improved visibility and coordination, teams can work together more efficiently, helping to reduce pressure on individual practices and improve access for patients across the network.
