Currently, patient pathways across primary, community and secondary care are fragmented, with multiple manual processes for referrals, results handling, and patient communication. This creates inefficiencies, clinical variation, and a lack of patient visibility, all of which contribute to poorer outcomes and health inequalities.
To address this, UHB is system lead on the procurement of a single, integrated digital pathway platform integrated within primary care to:
• Deliver evidence-based care consistently across multiple specialities.
• Improve efficiency and reduce the risk of error and unwarranted variation delivering care to the patient in the most appropriate setting, first time.
• Facilitate patient choice and engagement, ensuring referrals are directed to the right clinic at the right time.
• Improve quality of care, reduce health inequalities, and give patients visibility and involvement throughout their journey.
