Digital Healthcare introduces new service to help DRSS Schemes achieve their headline
targets
With Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Service schemes now in place across the United
Kingdom, Digital Healthcare has taken the next step in the development of these
schemes by providing a service to help its customers hit their headline targets.
Digital Healthcare is now providing all of its customers with an automated series
of reports that help them to ensure that they invite all their patients for screening,
that they screen all of their patients and that they reduce the incidences of blindness.
These reports, which will be provided free of charge on a quarterly basis, will
list every active patient who has not yet been invited (according to strict definitions),
and also provide enough supplementary information to allow action to be taken. Patients
such as Post Office Returns and In Care Ophthalmology (without recent feedback)
are shown. In addition the reports will identify individual patients that will have
an impact on achieving the target, for example patients that may have been imported
into the programme with a recall date which is too long in the future.
The service has been piloted at the Derbyshire Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Service
who not only found the service to be extremely useful but also found that it helped
them identify areas for improvement in operational processes and procedures.
Kevin McDonnell, General Manager at Digital Healthcare commented "now that DRSS
schemes are in place it is important to move quickly to the next phase of development
which is improving their efficiency. We believe this new service will help all of
our customers manage their programmes more effectively and ensure a greater level
of patient care."
