Risk Avert offers comprehensive appointment and resource optimisation functionality, highlights of which are summarised below:
> Multiple
clinic management - the system can manage
multi-disciplinary appointments at
one or multiple clinics, centres or hospitals.
Opening and closing times can be set for every
clinic and the default time slots for appointments
defined.
> Clinical
staff management -
relevant details of every member of the
clinical team can be stored in the system and their
time scheduled to one or more clinics.
> Patient details - all patient details can be stored on the system including special needs relating to appointments (i.e. transportation requirements, carer contacts, interpreter needs etc.).
> Appointments and diaries - appointments are recorded directly into the system. Online diaries highlight staff availability and the system automates the booking procedure.
> Patient reminders - confirmations and reminders can be automatically produced by the system and sent to patients via postal addresses, e-mail and SMS messaging.
> Information - work schedules, diaries and staff utilisation reports can all be produced from the system. The systems report writer allows non-specialist staff to develop their own reports.
> Medical record protection - access to all information can be controlled to a highly defined level. Therefore access to sensitive information can be restricted to authorised staff only.
> Satellite Clinics - the system is encrypted and therefore can be accessed at remote clinics via any computer. This capability ensures that standard processes are followed and continuity of patient care is maintained.
Optimised
resource utilisation Optimised performance can be attained since the system provides visibility of resource availability and how that is being deployed to patient and non-patient activities.
Reduction
of no show appointmentsThrough automated reminders being sent via letter, email and SMS messaging the number of costly no show appointments will be significantly reduced.
Process
efficienciesThe automated booking process streamlines less efficient processes and facilitates the adoption of call centre booking services.
SecurityMedical records can only be accessed via the system, access is controlled at user level and all access is tracked. The possibility of loosing data is significantly reduced.
