In this episode of Talking HealthTech, host Peter Birch welcomes Paul Deffley, UK Chief Medical Officer, to discuss the importance of diagnostic result handling in healthcare through the use of innovative technology. Paul introduces listeners to Alcidion and its role in revolutionising healthcare systems in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. They explore Alcidion's latest module, Miya Results Tracking, and the role it plays in ensuring efficient management and acknowledgement of clinical results, aiming to decrease patient harm and improve care delivery.
Key Takeaways:
- Challenges with Results Management: Up to 60% of results may not be formally acknowledged in healthcare systems, which can delay diagnosis and lead to patient harm.
- Introduction of Miya Results Tracking: Miya Results Tracking addresses the complexity surrounding result management and aims to create a digital safety net for clinicians.
- The Digital Safety Net: Alcidion's initiative seeks to ensure that results are connected to the patient's records, leading to better decision-making and accountability.
- Bridging Geographic Gaps: The Miya Results Tracking module can handle data from multiple healthcare locations, allowing for centralised management of diagnostic results.
- Operational and Clinical Impact: Implementing Miya Results Tracking is expected to reduce unacknowledged results, shorten response times, and improve task-related activities linked to patient care outcomes.
