Episodes Module

The Episodes module in PatientSource provides a central dynamic scheduling and bed-management hub to create and view the episodes, appointments and admissions of a patient journey. An episode is created under a Healthcare specialty and that episode will encompass information recorded during the patient journey.

All clinical activities for a patient during a period of care under that specialty appear within the Episodes module on the patient’s timeline. This allows administration and clinical teams to see everything that was provided to a patient in one summary view: referrals, appointments, admissions, case notes, procedures, prescriptions and tests.

Each clinical activity is timestamped allowing important metrics such as Referral-to-Treatment-Time (RTT), Expected Dates of Discharge (EDD) and length of stay to be analysed.

The scheduling engine allows for automatic appointment reminders to be sent to patients via SMS text and email to reduce Did Not Attend (DNA) rates. Attendance is captured and updated in real-time allowing DNAs to be analysed in realtime.

This provides patients with continuity of care as the services provided to them, under the episode within a specific period of time, are recorded centrally.
