Coming Soon! SurgeryPod

The SurgeryPod uses patient self-measurement to reduce costs and create efficiency for the GP surgery.

Patients can use the device, instead of seeing a GP or practice nurse, to check vital signs and instantly upload results into Vision as Read Codes.

Studies estimate the SurgeryPod can save the average sized practice £12-15,000 per year, with larger practices saving over £20,000, by reducing demand for staff time.

It means patients can get checks when it’s convenient for them: reducing DnAs, increasing patient satisfaction – and saving time for clinicians.

Features

  • Measures blood pressure, FEV1, BMI automatically
  • Clinical questionnaires on depression, anxiety, asthma, smoking and alcohol use
  • Results are automatically recorded as Read Codes in the user’s electronic health record
  • Can carry out a ‘new patient check’, measuring all key criteria for a newly registered patient

 Benefits

  • Saves costs by reducing the number of appointments necessary
  • Achieves high QOF scores without high volume of consultations
  • Reduces DnAs, receptionist workload and wait times
