PathWays Acute Care

Acute care is necessary for a brief but severe episode of a patient’s illness. Most hospitals are acute care facilities whose mission it is to provide appropriate treatment and discharge patients as soon as they are able to return home or be cared for in the community. Within this setting there are several critical patient flow points at which PathWays Acute Care is involved:

Acute avoidance

By using an objective placement tool that can dynamically prioritise stakeholders, patients are placed from a multitude of locations, including community, lessening the chance that a patient will degrade and require acute admittance.

Assessment

Designed for a multi-disciplinary team, our flexible assessment tool allows each member of the team to contribute and edit their contributions to the overall assessment. It also notifies team members when assessments have been completed or still require completing.



eReferrals

These are electronic referrals within the hospital or to community service providers, using matching criteria at a service provider level. Workflow messaging, along with graphical representation of available programmes – filtered for suitability to a specific patient’s requirements – significantly streamline the complex referral process.

Discharge planning

PathWays Acute Care streams patients to secondary care facilities based on criteria such as their appropriateness, patient choices and priorities and regional prioritisation. Workflow messaging and user-specific views are designed to streamline and speed up the discharge process. A step-by-step approach helps with establishing a standard process and all transactions are recorded to provide a solid base for performance analysis.
