Choose & Book
The Compucare Choose and Book Module provides a mechanism for GPs (in primary care) to book appointments for their patients in Compucare. This is achieved through integration of Compucare with the National Spine, which allows Compucare to interface electronically with Choose and Book.
As part of Connecting for Health, all GPs will eventually have access to Choose and Book via compliant GP referral systems. This will allow them to provide a greater choice to their patients. A choice of between 4 and 6 hospitals will be made available to patients for their referral, and will contain at least one hospital in the independent sector.
Compucare Choose and Book Module is designed to provide Consultants who use Compucare with the ability to define and publish services (groups of free Compucare clinic slots) to Choose and Book, and for GPs from across the country, to choose and book appointments for their patients in Compucare.
- Benefits of Compucare Choose & book include:
- Marketing of hospital services on a centralised national database
- Accurate patient demographic and appointment details as information is captured at source
- Saves time from typing in patient and appointment details
- Saves time for Consultants waiting for referral letters. Information is viewed electronically rather than a physical letter which can be misplaced or misread
- Flexible publishing of Compucare clinic slots against defined services
- Analysis of bookings made in Compucare over Choose and Book
