Flow Manager
Efficiently Managing the Patient Journey
How it Works
Flow Manager is the central, digital dashboard that controls each solution in the Intouch Platform, enabling hospital staff to efficiently manage each stage of the patient journey from a single location, providing staff with oversight of the patient journey in real-time, from one central digital dashboard, supporting coordinated and efficient patient flow. Flow Manager is deployed across 70 NHS Trusts, processing over 55 million NHS outpatients appointments annually.
Staff can view the status of each patient, including if the patient has:
- arrived and checked in
- if they are running late
- if they have been called to be seen
- if the appointment has started
The Patient Journey
When a patient checks in their status is instantly updated. Icons including ‘visually impaired patient’ or ‘interpreter required’ are displayed to alert staff and help deliver a better patient experience.
The entire patient journey can be planned, managed and updated through the dashboard, providing one single version of the truth for all staff. Full PAS / EPR integration enhances care coordination across departments and helps to eliminate or reduce unnecessary processes, realising significant operational efficiencies and further improving the patient experience.
