Integrated Care Systems, Joining Up Health and Care
InterSystems help ICSs to address their critical needs and overcome barriers to digital transformation
Staffing and Skills
Our solutions and platforms are easy to access, configure, and use. Our web-based interfaces provide distributed, secure access from anywhere with a suitable Internet connection. They run on a range of electronic devices that are easy, and secure to manage, with NHS-approved integrated single-sign-on support.
Collaborate with People, Places, and Organisations
Create seamless and automatic flows of data, workflow, and processes so that no matter where patients, service users, or service providers are, we can connect them with the right information, at the right time and place, for the right outcomes. We have proven experience in connecting systems from primary, secondary, community, mental health, pathology, and disease registries, to emergency services, local councils, care homes, and public safety.
Waiting List Management
We create the most comprehensive views of individual needs, helping ICSs prioritise and optimise resource allocation. This helps to better manage waiting lists, reduce their numbers, and keep them manageable going forward
Caring for the elderly, young people and for delivering mental health
No-one should fall through the gaps in care planning. We integrate specific national standards such as for Child Information protection services and urgent care into operational care to deliver personalised, proactive patient treatment, taking into account patient and service users with consent and care circle management needs.
Patient engagement and empowerment
Our user portals enable patients, services users, and their proxies with consent to understand, access, and contribute to their health and care. They can review test results, book appointments, request prescription refills, and upload patient-supplied, and device-generated data.
Care in the community and virtual wards
Keeping patients out of hospital by caring for them in the community and organising cohorts in virtual wards has many operational and clinical benefits. It can also provide a better experience for patients, their families, and care professionals in the patient’s care circle. Circumstances vary as to the best option to support these approaches to care at home, hospitals in the community, and the “hospital village”. Usually, a mix of clinical and patient portals, remote video consultation, remote patient monitoring, mobile device support, a care community coordination platform, or just configuring virtual wards on the hospital system (such as the electronic patient record) can all help join up care where it’s best delivered.
Managing Funding and Risk
Having a 360-degree, holistic view of patients and service users, ICS resources, and service suppliers helps the ICS manage risk in advance, and in real-time.
