Pathway Manager will enable the National Health Service (NHS) trusts to monitor patients’ progress against the 18-week ‘clock’ and ensure compliance with the new rules.
Morecambe Bay NHS Trust and Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals Foundation Trust have both chosen Ardentia’s Pathway Manager in order to meet national reporting requirements and manage patient pathways from initial GP contact to acute or other hospital treatment.
Pathway Manager, which has been developed with support from Microsoft, gives trusts a tool to monitor their compliance with the 18-week patient pathway rules. Fully implemented at Dudley Group of Hospitals NHS Trust, with three further pilots at different stages of implementation, it is claimed to be the first successfully trialed solution of its kind within the NHS.
