Compare Adastra vs. Patient Flow Manager

In the realm of urgent and emergency medical care, it's crucial for decisions to be made swiftly and securely. Our Adastra solution equips personnel in emergency care environments with the necessary resources to ensure patients receive the right treatment, be it a referral to their general practitioner or the dispatch of an ambulance for hospital transport. It guarantees that the clinical handover process is efficient and that all patient records are kept up to date. When someone calls 111 or arrives at an urgent care center, advising on the best care pathway can be challenging without complete access to their medical background. The unpredictability of patients seeking help complicates preparations, heightening stress levels among staff and increasing risks for patients. Those who seek emergency care often find themselves in significant pain and distress, which can hinder their ability to share a comprehensive and accurate medical history, further complicating their treatment. Consequently, having an effective system like Adastra is essential for enhancing patient outcomes and alleviating staff burdens.

A unified overview of patient flow data, integrating information from inpatient, elective, emergency, and other compatible hospital systems, facilitates near real-time insight into capacity and demand, allowing for well-informed decisions regarding patient movement. The system incorporates electronic journey boards for both departments and wards, which enhance visibility of each patient's progression from admission to discharge. It also includes clinical task and referral management functionalities, and can be accessed via desktop, mobile devices, or touch screen journey boards. Historically, various hospital departments operated on separate patient systems, which hindered communication and created silos that resulted in inefficiencies. By delivering a consolidated source of real-time patient status information, the Patient Flow Manager equips hospital staff with operational insights across the institution. Moreover, with Patient Flow Manager, hospitals can seamlessly oversee the patient journey from admission through to discharge by integrating effortlessly with their existing systems, ultimately enhancing the overall efficiency of patient care. This integration not only improves communication between departments but also fosters a more coordinated and streamlined approach to patient management.
