CHALLENGES
Correct patient referral
When a patient rings 111 or presents at an urgent care facility, it can be hard to advise the most appropriate care pathway without full access to the patient’s medical history.
Unpredictable level of calls
Patients seeking care are hard to predict making preparation difficult. This increases the pressure on staff and the risk to the patients.
No access to GP records
Patients attending emergency care services are often in pain and distressed. They may be unable to provide a full and accurate description of their medical history.
Meeting changing standards
The standards for the urgent and emergency care services are becoming stricter to ensure patients receive the highest standard of care.

- What is Adastra software?
Adastra is a highly flexible patient management solution designed to support the specific and unique requirements of urgent and unscheduled care. It can be easily configured to manage both face-to-face and telephone-based activity, and interoperates with a wide variety of other systems to enable more informed decision-making and clinical continuity.
- How has clinical patient management adapted to Covid-19?
The Adastra Clinical Team has created two new case question sets, which can be used to pre-assess and advise patients for Covid19. We have extended Adastra to help NHS patients through the current crisis by providing a sophisticated overspill / queuing system for those calling NHS 111. We have also introduced a video consult solution to Adastra to reduce face-to-face contact.

Since most 111 providers use Adastra, it offers a cost-effective fully integrated solution for UTCs too, enabling appointments to be seamlessly booked and managed, and providing full access to patients’ details. Adastra’s flexible configurability enables UTCs to quickly and efficiently manage all aspects of patient care.
