Signposting: Use cases

The partner and practice story GP Practices are crying out for an integrated solution to EMIS which allows for collation of information from patients who need care that day. With an increasingly multidisciplinary team, knowing which patient needs to see which clinician is a wicked problem. All current solutions either operate outside of the clinical system and drop in pdf documents which then need reading and managing, and none provide the receiving clinician with contextual patient information to make appropriate decisions on disposition.

Patient fills in contact information in PA

Information workflows into native EMIS in same way as tasks/pathology

Coded data added to record, indicating patients symptoms at remote contact

Primary care Pathways PTP product collates this data, with existing coded data within patient records to allow rapid but accurate disposition of patient

For example – cough in 19 year old who is fit and health is very different from patient with COPD, 4 courses of steroids and on long term oxygen – this collaboration of systems provides that unique information (nobody else can do this)

Right patient sees or speaks to right clinician achieving optimal care

Benefits to GPs and practices:

• Reduced pressure on practices • Improved patient demand management • Confidence that patients are safely and accurately referred to the right care
