"A Solution like
iNurse - that cuts out
administration and
travel and increases
patient-facing time - is
a very compelling one."

There are many statistics available relating to patients with long term conditions, and its clear that their numbers are on the increase. Customers using the Adastra system to provide long term condition (LTC) management services have at their disposal the ideal tool to support both intermediate care and outreach services.
The power and flexibility of Adastra enables staff to quickly and efficiently register patients with the service, recording their pre-existing conditions, allergies, medications, needs and other specific information, and flag particular areas of concern or caution. GPs and other health care professionals are able to electronically refer patients into the LTC service using secure and simple to use web-based technology, and Adastra's unique messaging technology means all LTC service activity can be securely sent back to the patient's own GP, helping maintain clinical continuity and GP involvement. Built-in multi-disciplinary, multi-location diary management enables appointments to be booked and confirmed in real-time.
Clinicians providing outreach-type services delivering face to face interventions can receive their patients details electronically on a laptop or hand held mobile device, and completed intervention details can be automatically returned to the centre. Similarly, telephone-based care and advice can quickly and easily be recorded against the patient, providing clinicians with a complete picture.
As you would expect, all system activity is time and date stamped, enabling service managers and commissioners to report and analyse service performance and patient care, and allowing care pathways and supporting services to be reviewed and redesigned as appropriate.
