Virtually Widget

Virtually Widget

An easy to use floating toolbar which is very popular with clinicians

The Virtually widget is a toolbar which enables a clinician to quickly send an SMS or in-app message to a patient or inititiate a telephone or video call, request a document or an image, gather information through a form, triage consultations according to clinical priority and stream patient requests to the appropriate clinician in their team.

Population health observatory

Population health observatory

Virtually’s population health observatory gathers data from a range of systems to identify patients at high-risk or those with the greatest needs.

 

It supports clinicians in a local health system to make automated and human clinican interventions on patients, monitor outcomes, and demonstrate health improvement at a population level.

 

The observatory can be used at any scale, from a local integrated care system monitoring patients with long-term conditions, to a clinical team monitoring the health status of its patients.

LTC patient self-management support hubs

LTC patient self-management support hubs

Virtually’s Long-term condition hubs have the following features.

  • Patient tracking of lifestyle and physiological observations such as BP.
  • Sharing patient tracking data with hub clinicians.
  • Care planning enabling the patient to set goals, aims and targets for health improvement in a care and support plan which they can share with people involved in their care.
  • Webinars (group consultation) for health education.
  • Telephone and video consultation.
  • SMS and in-app messaging.
Conflux

Conflux

A collaborative working tool for clinicians from different NHS and social care organisations.

Conflux is a collaborative working tool that enables GP practices in a primary care network or clinical teams in different provider organisation to work together.

It supports the following aspects.

  • Working on a new or existing project and project management.
  • Sharing information about staff members and services.
  • Conducting virtual meetings and webinars.
  • Sharing clinical governance work such as significant events, clinical audit, and learning from complaints.
  • Storing documents such as minutes of meetings.
  • Conducting staff surveys.
Joint consultations

Joint consultations

Virtually's Joint Care product builds on advice and guidance

Virtually Joint Care enables triangulated video or telephone consultation and secure messaging between patient, GP, and consultant whenever clinically appropriate or between health and social services.

 

This solution is appropriate for GP advice requests which are too complex for the advice and guidance feature of the NHS e-referral system (eRS).

 

The patient is part of the discussion and can view the advice request sent by a GP and the advice sent back by a consultant.

Secondary-tertiary virtual joint clinics

Secondary-tertiary virtual joint clinics

This module was developed in conjunction with a tertiary centre in the Midlands.

It enables secondary care centres to conduct virtual joint clinics with its supporting tertiary care unit. This saves patients or clinicians from having to travel long distances.

Customised

Customising your solution.

Every clinical team is different. We recognise that each clinical team works in a unique way and has its own skill and case-mix. For any digital solution to work we know that it must be customised to the needs of the clinical team, focusing on their goals for care transformation and quality improvement.

How we customise your deployment

Step 1

Discovery

Our Digital Enablement Team will start by asking your clinical team to complete an Information Gathering Pack. This tells us how your clinical team works, what its challenges are, and what it is trying to achieve.

Step 2

Alpha build on test environment

Once our Digital Enablement Team has understood your team’s circumstances, needs, and clinical processes, we will create an alpha version of your chosen product. You and your teams are free to use this on dummy patients in a sandpit.

Step 3

Private beta phase

We will then take your team’s comments and use them to refine and create a beta version of the product. This is yours to use in private beta trial for up to 20 real patients in your care.

Step 4

Extended beta phase

If there are any comments, bugs or complaints from patients or clinicians in the private beta trial, we will fix these. We’ll then roll out a full beta implementation involving up to 100 of your patients.

Step 5

Production

The extended beta phase will run for four months, during which patients and clinicians will be asked to log comments. We’ll then address these in a final round of fixes and customisation and ask our clinical safety officer to complete a clinical safety case and hazard log before giving you a tested solution for all your patients.

Step 6

Benefits realisation.

Virtually’s Digital Enablement Team will continue to work with you after deployment to help you realise potential benefits.

Customised

Customised in-platform Helpdesk for support and incidents.

Your instance of a Virtually digital solution will have an integrated, in-platform HelpDesk. This will be customised to align with the way your team supports patients with administrative queries.

 

Change requests, incidents and bugs are reported to Virtually’s software team through the in-platform Helpdesk. Each request or incident raises a ticket which is assigned a priority and resolved by Virtually’s development team in the agreed timescales.
