Care Pathways
Integrated care pathways, also known as patient care pathways, case management plans, critical pathways or care maps are used to manage the quality of healthcare, primarily concerning the standardisation of care processes. The aim is to improve outcomes and reduce the variability in clinical practice by focusing on the patient’s overall journey.
THE CHALLENGE
Process mapping is often used to model the way people and the organisation actually work, taking into account real-world factors like labour costs, unit time, waiting time, roles, and the relationship between a process, a role, a department, as well as many other factors. To make real progress can take away llimited resources and take time.
THE SOLUTION
Formic Fusion is a professional software tool that can help with process mapping, capturing data from care maps and sub-maps to integrate into care pathways for patient care, stroke care or general health care.
At each step of a patient journey, Formic Fusion is used to automatically collect and validate data from forms such as: GP Assessment questionnaires, patient report surveys, clinical trials, staff satisfaction surveys, case logbooks and medical records and hospital discharge forms.
The software automates the process of collecting and distributing this valuable data, at a speed that is up to 50 times faster than a human operator can key. The outcome is accurate, validated process information that is available in a flexible electronic format for reporting or for integrating into existing systems.
