Health
Safe4 solutions to co-ordinate health provision efficiently.
The health sector is one of the most challenging environments in which to introduce electronic systems. In the UK, where a publicly funded health service predominates, huge investments in IT systems have been made over a number of decades. Almost without exception, these have failed to provide the anticipated benefits. In the private health sector, methods for transferring highly confidential medical information between the parties involved in providing treatment are often inefficient and insecure.
Safe4 can assist with the handling of confidential medical information, for example:
Clinical Commissioning Groups
Changes within the UK National Health Service in recent years have resulted in the creation of CCGs to replace the Trusts that were previously responsible for delivering health care to patients. The CCGs now involve participation from hospitals and other front-line health agencies, but also from General Practitioners, Optometrists, Dentists and Pharmacists, who contract with the CCGs for the delivery of medical services. This requires efficient and confidential transfer of information, both contractual and clinical. Safe4 provides an ideal solution to this complex requirement.
Emergency Planning
Health professionals are normally involved when contingency arrangements are being made for major events. For example, when emergency plans were being made prior to the London Olympics in 2012, Safe4 was extensively used as a means of sharing confidential information.
Rota and Duty Management
Plans for the provision of out-of-hours or emergency medical services need to be accessed at any time by the health professionals involved. Safe4 offers a fast and effective way of sharing this information on a local or national basis.
Patient Records
Multiple unsuccessful attempts have been made to create the Electronic Health Record; this obviously requires access to specialist clinical systems, but also to documents that carry much of the information relating to a patient’s medical history, and the episodes of treatment that they have received. This is an ideal application for Safe4, which has achieved the highest possible ratings for security of internet-based systems.
Health Insurance
Private medical insurance is a benefit often provided by employers, and increasingly by individuals funded through their own means. When a period of treatment occurs, transfer of documents and clinical information such as x-rays and scan results between the participating parties is a primary requirement. Safe4 facilitates the immediate and highly confidential sharing of medical documents between GPs, consultants, insurers, employers, and of course patients.
Summary
Health services make extensive use of complex clinical applications. Safe4 can supplement these by ensuring immediate accessibility to critical documents by authorised parties. When used in conjunction with the Safe4 Application Programming Interface, clinical applications can be used to populate Safe4 vaults automatically, reducing cost and improving efficiency even further.
