Additional Odyssey products to be used byNottingham Emergency Medical Services

 

Avia (AIM: AVIA), the developer and provider of clinical decision support systems worldwide, announces that its subsidiary, Plain Healthcare Limited ("Plain"), has been awarded two additional contracts by Nottingham Emergency Medical Services ("NEMS") for its Odyssey FaceToFace and Odyssey Reception clinical decision support tools.

 

These products will be used in NEMS' new Health Centre which opened on the 25 January this year. NEMS already use Odyssey TeleAssess at their Out-Of-Hours centre and based on the results experienced at this centre have chosen to use Odyssey at their new site.

 

NEMS took the decision to purchase two new Odyssey FaceToFace and Odyssey Reception products due to the fact these products can be used by employees with a varied skill mix which is present at the new site. The Odyssey products will also allow accurate and contemporaneous record documentation to be produced which is critical to NEMS and its patients.

 

Julie Bailey, Lead Nurse, NEMS stated:

"We have chosen Odyssey FaceToFace to ensure rapid, safe consultation of our non-registered patients. Odyssey Reception will also allow us to prioritise our walk-in patients at both sites to make sure they are seen by clinical priority, so reducing clinical risk and improving patient care."

 

Barry Giddings, Chairman, Avia Health Informatics commented:

"This is another excellent strategic contract win. We look forward to working with and supporting NEMS in the rollout and use of all of the Odyssey products the organisation is now using across its sites."
