The clinician can send patients to the Surgery Pod to perform specific tests, or in the case of new patients, to carry out a New Patient Check. Furthermore, patients can be sent to perform tests prior to obtaining repeat prescriptions. Data can be collected without the need for a clinical appointment at the patient’s convenience.
The Surgery Pod will enable the GP to spend more high-value time in the consultation with the
patient, using the information that will already be available to them. It will deliver results with a high level of accuracy, significantly improving their productivity and efficiency.
Each machine can be uniquely configured to help with specific requirements to optimise
practice performance, such as smoking cessation clinics, travel clinics, weight management clinics and contraception.
This flexible system can be configured in line with individual surgery software requirements. The Surgery Pod is connected to the existing surgery computer system using an Ethernet connection, and is able to post data directly and securely into individual patient records, so there is no need to re-enter information. Data is collected prior to the consultation, can be instantly displayed on the GP’s screen and is appropriately coded to ease compatibility and interoperability with existing systems.
The modular software structure enables surgeries to update individual aspects of the Surgery Pod without having to make changes to the core package. This allows further services and devices to be added as they become available.
Aside from the standard medical tests, the Surgery Pod also a offers a range of Quality of Life questionnaires to assist in the diagnosis of anxiety and depression, and also offers smoking and drinking assessments.
The Surgery Pod has been designed to be as user-friendly as possible, helping to reduce white coat syndrome in blood pressure measurements. Furthermore, it is available in a range of different languages.
