Time stamps and colour codes create an intuitive and visually accessible dashboard for clinicians
Standardised and recorded processes ensures that clinicians and patients are always working from the same schedulesÂ
Virtual Clinics connects clinicians and patients virtually, removing the requirement for patients to attend hospital for their clinic appointment / consultation. Virtual Clinics enables clinicians to plan, conduct and record virtual (phone and video) appointment activity, ensuring virtual appointments do not operate in silo. As with face-to-face appointments, staff can access patient and appointment information and submit patient outcomes in one place – creating a centralised and streamlined process. Virtual Clinics is designed to fully integrate into hospital PAS / EPR systems and already integrates with many leading video and softphone solutions deployed across the NHS.
Using Virtual Clinics, clinicians can manage video and phone consultations as efficiently and comprehensively as face-to-face appointments. By clicking the video or phone, Virtual Clinics will automatically open the video / softphone solution and connect the clinician with the patient. Video patients will be waiting in a virtual waiting room for the clinician – making the most efficient use of clinician time – while phone patients will be called automatically using the phone number in the system.Â
All consultations are time-allocated and colour coded to indicate their status, providing a consolidated and visually intuitive interface for appointment management. This ensures clinicians can manage their workflows easily, in an auditable environment. Once appointments are finished, the system records the consultation finish time and makes provision for clinicians to record any notes, actions and arrange follow-up appointments.
Virtual Clinics integrates with many leading video solutions already deployed across the NHS and international healthcare systems, realising significant operational and clinical benefits by consolidating and automating processes – including patient authentication during the check-in process – due to PAS / EPR integration.Â
From one single patient flow dashboard, clinicians can manage all virtual consultations (video and phone appointments) as efficiently as face-to-face appointments can be managed – including real-time visibility on which patients have checked-in and are ready to be seen, which are late, and which
appointments have been completed.Â
When Virtual Clinics is deployed alongside Intouch with Health’s Flow Manager solution, clinicians can manage all clinic types (face-to-face, video and phone appointments) from one cohesive dashboard, using filters to customise patient lists as required.Â

Patient authentication is achieved via an automated, integrated check-in process (depending on the video provider)
The authenticated check-in process protects the service from unauthorised access (depending on the video provider)
The check-in process automatically flows patients into the appropriate virtual waiting room
Virtual Clinics is easily scalable – designed for both rapid deployment and as a long-term care management solution
Rapid, remote deployment is available (providing the hospital’s technical infrastructure meets the minimum requirements)
