18 Week Waits
Managing patient waiting times can be a time-consuming task. Keeping on top of the 18 week wait time targets is likely to use all the resource you have... and more.
Medifusion has developed the “Medifusion 18 Week Waiting Time Analyser, a software tool that uses a complex set of user-defined rules to match Inpatient and Outpatient activity, identifying pathways and creating RTT Periods which can be used for reporting.
The tool interfaces directly with your PAS, pulling data into a parallel repository which is then used to create pathways and RTT Periods.
This helps protect critical systems by reduces load. 18 week data is also saved in the repository, effectively providing a data warehouse of waiting time information in a Microsoft SQL Server environment.
What are the benefits?
- Instant Results saving time as waiting times are calculated directly from the data in your PAS.
- Multiple Configurations Can be tailored for English, Welsh or Scottish waiting time rules.
- Export Facility easily exports to Microsoft Excel, Access or Word and many other reporting tools.
- Data mining provided by powerful drill-down functionality enables you to look at how the times are compiled;
down to a single episode.
- Virtual Pathways created by user defined rules linking Outpatient and Inpatient activity, creating a pathway
from referral right through to treatment and assigning a unique pathway I.D. in the process.
- DSCN17/2006 Compliant generating an RTT table in SQL for analysis to assist in compliance with the
Department of Health statutory requirement.
- Real Time Data Maintains an up-to-the-minute copy of all relevant PAS data in a Microsoft SQL Server
environment.
- Data Corrections allows amendments to be made to clock start/stops to correct errors and record comments. Waiting times are
recalculated in seconds.
- Comprehensive auditing.
A simple wizard like interface makes the process of generating RTT Periods simple and fool proof.
This allows what-if views to be generated following changes to the rule set.
A simple windows scheduled task enables the process to be run every day, ensuring 18 week totals are accurate to the nearest day.
