We're big on Patient Care - it's the fundamental reason we started Practice Toolkit. Practices/Surgeries want to max out on patient care but there's only so much time in the day. Things get prioritised. We've been there.
The real answer isn't working more (we tried), but doing more with less.
Sounds cliché, we get it, but using Practice Toolkit's customisable logic based algorithms provides you the Optimised approach to fulfil all Patient recalls with the minimum number of appointments.
Automatically Optimised (with no admin effort)
No missed tests = No call-backs
Better Patient Engagement = fewer DNAs
Here's how;
Automatically Optimised (with no admin effort)
Every time data from clinical system is refreshed we re-run the customisable logic based algorithms for every patient against every recall you want to use.
This means all required tests/reviews/actions get identified per Staff Group and month - then merged into the minimum number of appointments to complete them all.
Easily organised in order (blood tests with appropriate delay prior to reviews etc)
Ever missed a recall requirement or new test result needing another appointment to rectify? Take that to zero from today.
No missed tests = No call-backs
Clear requirements copied into the appointment notes - make it really easy for all clinicians to ensure full coding of all tests needed.
As an added bonus, automatically add in relevant Enhanced Services to already planned appointments - no time for doing that ad hoc shingles vaccine? Automatically pre-planned with the patient and added into the appointment duration.
Better Patient Engagement = fewer DNAs
Every patient is generated a Personalised Annual Patient Plans showing exactly the recall appointments needed throughout the year. This can be shared (at your discretion) with each patient by printing or emailing. Versioning (for any changes/updates) make it clear to keep up to date.
Where patients are more engaged and understand the benefits of their appointment schedules they're more likely to pre-book (saving you invite time & costs) and turn-up (reducing DNAs and follow-up).
Highlights any appointments pre-booked which are no longer necessary for cancelation and freeing up capacity (test results may change requirements)
Highlights any upcoming appointments to add recall appointments alongside - if the patient is already booked for an acute appointment, is there capacity to cover recalls needs alongside it?
Think of the impact
No need for additional locums due to freed up capacity
Reduce admin effort (ease of invites, bookings tracking and DNAs)
Easier for reception staff (clean requirements at their fingertips)
Improved Patient Care - no NICE guidelines missed
All automatic and easy to adopt.
