Situation

Identify and implement an appropriate digital solution to allow patients to have greater control over their elective care.

Aspiration

To provide patients with a higher level of digital service, using modern technology to give them more control over managing their appointments and accessing information relating to their care.

Solution and impact

Integral to the app is that it enables patients to manage their appointments, with updates written directly into Cerner Millennium, the trust’s patient administration system (PAS) and electronic health record (EHR).

Capabilities

Cloud-based, web app requiring WiFi or mobile data to operate, patient initiated follow up telephone appointments are first saved in the Zesty diary and can then be placed in PAS.

Scope

Enables patients to manage their own appointments and view appointment letters online. Further developments to be released shortly include patients viewing their discharge summaries, clinical correspondence letters and test results.
