Low Priority Procedures Module
Requests for Low Priority Procedures (LPP) or Treatments Not Routinely Funded (TNRF) follow rigourous procedures often requiring supporting documentation and e-mail communication to gather the required information and process them

Patient history and document storage
The Blueteq LPP module is a highly secure, web based system to support this process, such that all documentation and e-mails can be maintained in a single location and are available on demand. There is no software to install and maintain locally and is easy to use, intuitive and is designed to fully support your process negating complex and lengthy training needs and resources.

Tracking request status
The system enables a complete record of the patients request and journey to be maintained. The system provides the facility to maintain a library of standard user defined letters and forms which can be edited and printed and or sent via e-mail and will be recorded against each patient.
 
User defined statuses are held within the system  that follow  local policy, enabling users to track the status of any case on demand and review the full case history, without the need to retrieve and refer to paper based files.
  
To ensure the timely processing of requests and that the relevant deadlines are met, the system also produces an on screen “waiting” or “to-do” list with user defined time periods displaying the number of cases per status and time period. The user can then drill down to see the individual cases per status and time period to ensure that appropriate follow up action is undertaken.

Reporting
A wealth of user defined reports is available on demand, including cases by status and, optionally, their costs to facilitate reporting to the Board, which can be done in minutes rather than hours with complete confidence in their accuracy.

Summary
Experience from users to date confirms that the Blueteq LPP module can provide the following benefits:
  • Increased efficencies enabling up to 33% more cases to be handled per team member
  • The Patient History displays all information and documentation in one place in a paperless medium. 
  • No filing required and all vital data is immediately available to hand.
  • An automated process to enable patients to be followed up in a timely manner.
  • Use of procedures and resources is in line with NICE / locally commissioned criteria. 
  • Production of vital reports takes minutes instead of hours to produce.
