    Begin patient triage earlier

    Supports staff to triage patients faster and more effectively, resulting in patients spending less time deconditioning on waiting lists 

    Avoid limitations of hospital appointments

    Patients are triaged outside the constraints of set hospital appointments

    Support NHS Net Zero targets

    Reduce the environmental and financial impact of paper processes and reduce unnecessary travel for patients 

    Improve the patient experience

    Provide patients with greater convenience of how and when they submit their pre-op health questionnaire 

    Reduce patient anxiety

    Patients have access to their own pre-op journey and links to resources to educate them ahead of surgery

    Synopsis has led to a more streamlined and efficient process, allowing patients to have their POA recorded in one place, which is visible to all applicable staff Trust-wide, and enables our team to utilise our department more efficiently, thus improving patient experience.

    Going digital with pre-op has delivered significant benefits across the trust. We no longer have to move paper notes between our three hospital sites or wait for notes to be scanned to the EPR, and there are no problems locating notes on the day of surgery.

    Synopsis Home enables hospital patients to complete their pre-operative health questionnaire from the comfort of their home.

    Begin pre-op assessment at home

    Synopsis Home enables patients to complete their pre-operative health questionnaire on their phone, a tablet, or computer, from the comfort of their home and at any time convenient. Completed questionnaires are shared directly with the hospital’s triage team, ready to be assessed in Synopsis iQ. Synopsis Home is cloud-based and the patient owns all data. Data can only be viewed by the hospital’s triage team with the patient’s permission, and the patient is notified when their data is accessed. This process supports a significant reduction in hospital attendances, providing patients with an elevated experience and releasing staff time which can be redirected to high-risk patients requiring more one-to-one support.

    Elevate the patient experience

    Synopsis Home supports a reduction in face-to-face hospital appointments which helps to release staff time, reduce the paper trail within the pre-operative assessment pathway, and provide patients with greater convenience and choice over their care. Redesigning the traditional assessment process, Synopsis Home enables patients to complete their pre-op health questionnaire from the comfort of their home, in their own time, and without needing to wait for a hospital appointment. Once it is decided that an operation is required, the patient registers and completes the pre-op health questionnaire anytime and anywhere that is convenient. Digital leaflets can also be shared with patients via notifications in Synopsis Home, supporting clinical teams to share pre-surgery educational materials with patients.

    Support NHS net-zero targets

    Synopsis Home is an entirely digital system, eliminating the need for any paper trail and reducing paper methods’ cost and environmental impact. By beginning the pre-operative assessment process at home, Synopsis Home also reduces the need for patient travel – improving the experience for patients, reducing the hospital’s carbon footprint and limiting hospital congestion. The convenience of Synopsis Home has resulted in an overage of over 65% of patients choosing to complete their pre-assessments at home, saving over 1,025 Kg of CO2 emissions every 4 months by fewer patients commuting to the hospital to complete their pre-operative health questionnaire.

    What makes Synopsis Home different?

    Synopsis Home enables hospital patients to complete their pre-operative health questionnaire on their phone, a tablet or a computer, from the comfort of their home.

    Once the questionnaire is completed, it is then shared directly to the hospital’s system, allowing the care team to triage their patients more efficiently than ever before. Synopsis Home is cloud based and all data is owned by the patient. Patient information can only be viewed by the hospital’s triage team in Synopsis iQ, once permission is granted by the patient. The patient will also be notified when their data has been accessed.
