Easy eSAP User friendly application to enable NHS Connecting for Health initiative
London, 8 May, 2007 - FileVision, a leading supplier of solutions for the Single Assessment Process (SAP) for Older People, today announced the launch of FileVison eSAP, a user-friendly, off-the-shelf application that enables health care trusts to deliver one of the key foundations of NHS Connecting for Health (CfH): one person-centred assessment. The FileVision eSAP solution provides care professionals with the ability to store, view and change patient assessments online, and share information with other professionals across the NHS (including primary, emergency and secondary care services), social services, independent sector and voluntary agency providers of health and social care. In addition, the solution meets all the functionality and security requirements set out by the Department of Health’s guidance on SAP. David Miller, Vice President Europe, FileVision said, “However sophisticated the technology, the only way SAP will work is if the applications are easy to use for care professionals, who are generally interested in caring, not in IT. Our solution is easy to use and very intuitive - our electronic filing system for example is a replica of a physical filing cabinet and its contents, and our electronic patient forms mimic paper ones.” Being able to capture data in the field and import it into the central database is fundamental to any successful SAP application. FileVision ensures this process is a seamless one by providing SAP practitioners with a range of low cost, low risk and low tech tools to be used in the field to collate data and assessments. These discreet tools, which include an electronic clip board, pocket PC and voice dictation machines, automatically upload captured assessments when the practitioner returns to their base, avoiding dual entry of assessment information. Miller said, “An increasing emphasis is being placed on treating the patient in the community. This is coupled with the need to accommodate multi-agency work practices, and to ensure the solution works equally well outside the ‘wired’ hospital and clinic environment.” On March 27th 2007, Patricia Hewitt MP, Secretary of State for Health, led the latest discussion on the progress the Department of Health is making in meeting the objectives set out in the Government White Paper, to provide people with good quality social care and NHS services in the communities where they live. Nearly 30 percent of participants voted ‘joint planning of health and social care’ as a top priority for the Government and eSAP is a prime example. FileVision’s integrated document management, imaging and workflow solutions are used throughout the NHS, and the private health care sector, including Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals’ NHS Trust, Cromwell Hospital and London Bridge Urology, a team of specialist consultants from Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Hospital and UCL Hospitals. # # # Media
