£70K per annum saving on printing costs since launching eOutcomes across the trust (at a medium sized trust)
eOutcomes
Replace paper forms by digitally recording patient appointment outcomes, improving data capture and audit trails, and supporting an increase in clinic efficiency.
Why eOutcomes?
Eliminate lost forms
Digitally recording outcomes can help recover previously lost hospital income due to lost / incomplete paperwork
Improve operational efficiency
Improve clinic and operational efficiency by removing double data entry and the validation process associated with paper processes
Support NHS Net Zero targets
Reduce the environmental and financial impact of paper processes
Reduce the burden on patients
Removes patients from the auditing and appointment recording process
Digitise communication
Improve communication channels between clinicians and admin staff
Accurately capturing outcome and procedure codes, eOutcomes replaces paper outcome forms with a digital appointment outcome form that is easy to use and instantly updates PAS.
Digitally record appointment outcomes
Designed to deliver quality improvements in healthcare settings by accurately capturing outcome and procedure codes, eOutcomes replaces paper outcome forms with a digital appointment outcome form that integrates with the hospital’s PAS / EPR. eOutcomes’ intuitive design is easy to use and ensures accurate data capture of appointment outcomes. eOutcomes can be used to record appointment outcomes across all appointment types – face-to-face hospital appointments, virtual (telephone and video) and remote appointments in the community. Intelligent functionality support staff, including alerts notifying administrative staff of the need to book a follow-up appointment with the patient.
Recover lost income
In addition to delivering quality assurance in hospital settings by ensuring accurate data capture, digitally recording appointment outcomes can help recover previously lost hospital income by reducing the inaccuracies associated with paper trail audits, and patients simply leaving an appointment with a paper outcome form without having the procedure code recorded. On average, payment for outpatient procedures equates to 18% of a Trust’s overall income. However, it’s estimated that up to 10% of this is lost as a direct result of incomplete or misplaced paper outcome forms. eOuctomes supports hospitals in capturing 100% of outpatient appointment outcomes digitally and accurately.
Improve the audit trail process
Implementing a process improvement project that removes paper trail and deploys eOutcomes to digitally record referral to treatment (RTT) and procedure codes can help recover previously lost income and deliver more efficient healthcare management processes. eOutcomes’ audit functionality allows staff to search by date, speciality, clinic, and clinician to review appointment outcome data, and identify and amend incomplete outcome forms.
