PathFinderRF is an innovative on-line referral decision support and clinical communication system that enables Commissioning Groups and other Primary Care Organisations to manage referral decision making and the communication of clinical information from general practice to specialist and community services. Avia acquired the intellectual property rights to sell and manage development of PathFinderRF from Nene Commissioning Group in Northants in June this year.
With the existing Odyssey clinical decision support systems and now PathFinderRF, Avia can now offer healthcare organisations across the UK & Ireland various clinical 'end-to-end' solutions to help improve the efficiency of their services. The product range for primary care now spans initial self-assessment using Odyssey SelfAssess; receptionist prioritisation and assessment by the clinician using Odyssey PatientAssess; and the referral by the clinician to community or specialist care using PathFinderRF.
Barry Giddings, Chairman of Avia Health Informatics Plc, commented:
"We are very pleased to be working with Welland Clinical Commissioning Group and look forward to helping them to take full advantage of PathFinderRF in supporting cost savings and improvements in patient care through more effective and better managed referrals. We look forward to growing the list of Commissioning Groups using PathFinderRF."
