System definitions:
ePOA: A digital platform/app that streamlines the pre-operative assessment process, replacing traditionally paper-based tasks with electronic data collection for efficiency. It allows patients to provide essential information online before their hospital visit and engage in a structured assessment, often with a nurse, to ensure a smooth and efficient preparation for surgery. Some suppliers include, AireLogic, Definition Health, OpenMedical.
E-Rostering (staffing): An electronic staff management tool that enables trusts to plan staffing requirements, report on enhanced hours, overtime, sickness, TOIL and annual leave.
Laboratory Information Management System: Software that allows you to effectively manage pathology testing and reporting. By using a LIMS, your lab can automate workflows, integrate instruments, and manage samples and associated information.
Live operational dashboard system: Live operational dashboard system-this is a toolset developed to provide clinicians with the relevant and timely information they need to support daily decision making that improve quality of patient care.
Outcomes/performance benchmarking: These systems enable a trust to compare their key clinical outcomes indicators, such as mortality, length of stay and readmission rates, with other NHS trusts.
Pathology PACS: Software for digital storage and management of pathology images, like tissue samples and slides, to aid healthcare analysis and to enhance efficiency and accuracy of pathological examinations. This is sometimes referred to as a Digital Pathology system.
Patient Administration System: These are the core enterprise systems, containing a Master Patient Index, used by NHS trusts to enable them to know when a patient has arrived, who they are, who they were seen by, what treatment they received and what happened to them. This core functionality, needed by every trust, covers admission, discharge and transfer.
Patient Portal: It is a secure online website or app that allows patients to access their health records and perform basic transactions with their providers. The portal facilitates communication, appointment scheduling, bill payment, prescription requests and other administrative tasks.
Pharmacy: Pharmacy orders and stock control is managed electronically
Radiology Information Systems: Radiology results and reporting are managed electronically.
Sexual Health: A software designed to streamline and manage processes related to sexual health services, including appointment scheduling, patient records, and test result tracking.
