Aneurin Bevan Health Board awards Plain Healthcare contract for
decision-support systems
3 February 2010
The Aneurin Bevan Local Health Board has awarded Plain
Healthcare a contract to supply the company's Odyssey TeleAssess and
Odyssey Reception’ decision-support tools.
Odyssey Reception will be used by receptionists in the Health Board's
clinics. When taking out-of-hours GP calls it will give them the ability
to effectively and consistently prioritise calls and patients attending
clinics. It also helps non-clinicians to identify potential emergencies
in just a few seconds.
Most patients will then be passed to either a nurse or another
healthcare professional for telephone consultation, supported by Odyssey
TeleAssess.
Odyssey TeleAssess will be the first product to be introduced, aiming
to ensure rapid, safe assessments and advice, with all applications
embedded into existing patient administration software, connectivity
into a familiar environment for users is ensured.
The Aneurin Bevan LHB was recently awarded the contract for the
provision of out-of-hours care for Cardiff and Merthyr Tydfil. The
service covers approximately 700,000 patients in South Wales.
Chris Coyne, Sales & Marketing Director, commented: “We are delighted
to have been awarded this contract by the Aneurin Bevan Local Health
Board, which expands our presence in Wales even further. This initial
contract is a strategic one and we expect the service to grow over the
coming years as we work in partnership to develop and support the
provision of healthcare throughout Wales.
"This is the first contract win since our acquisition by Avia Health
Informatics Plc and we look forward to announcing many more over the
coming months.”
