Introducing ZEDOC's digital care pathway library - a fast and affordable way to measure what matters most to patients
Last year, we published an eBook looking at the digitisation of ‘care pathways’, which describe the stepwise movement of patients through the healthcare system. Digital care pathways consist of digital interactions between providers in the hospital or clinic and patients at home, supporting the collection of health outcomes, experiences and delivery of educational content.
These care pathways are aligned with Michael Porter’s concept of Value Based Health Care. By enabling the exchange of important healthcare information to occur digitally and remotely using mobile devices that patients already own, digital care pathways have the potential to transform healthcare delivery.
However, in conversations with healthcare providers across the globe, we often see a few key challenges get in the way of digital care pathway implementation. Those challenges include:
Not knowing where to start or what information to collect
Cost
Time to implement
Leveraging our experience in the development and implementation of digital care pathways, particularly patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) and remote patient monitoring (RPM) programs, we set out to provide care teams with a simpler, faster and more affordable solution to get them started.
Introducing the ZEDOC digital care pathway library.
What is the ZEDOC Digital Care Pathway Library?
The ZEDOC digital care pathway library is a suite of off-the-shelf and validated digital care pathways that automate the collection and analysis of key health information, particularly PROM data.
Each pathway, which is specific to a condition or treatment, contains a predefined and evidence-based schedule of digital interactions with patients. These evidence-based schedules have been developed and validated by the likes of the International Consortium of Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) as well as researchers and clinical groups.
At each touchpoint in the schedule, ZEDOC automatically communicates with patients and shares secure links for them to complete their latest health assessments on their own devices, at home. Importantly, care teams can customise their own messaging and branding within their team’s care pathway.
With the high quality health outcomes data fed back to care teams in real-time, our digital care pathway solutions give clinical teams the ability to deliver more personalised, proactive and outcomes-driven care.
The digital care pathways that are currently supported include:
What are the benefits of the digital care pathway library?
What is special about these pathways is that they can be selected, paid for, and implemented in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of typical digital patient-reporting solutions.
This provides a great starting point for smaller clinical teams who want a simple and affordable solution to report on their patients' health outcomes or for larger enterprises interested in testing the software.
Each digital care pathway in the library exists to reduce the barriers for measuring and improving care from the patient’s perspective.
