Digital asynchronous collaboration – using Engage

Listen Later

In this episode, we return to the world of Digital Asynchronous Consulting Systems (DACS) and ponder how digital changes might be implemented in general practice during a time of chaos for the NHS, as it has its 75th Anniversary.

We get a fake 5-year old’s opinion on DACS systems, before hearing from Michael Wong and Sandeep Singh from Engage Health Systems, who have developed a system called Engage Consult, a digital asynchronous consultation system (DACS), which is already in use in England but is new to Scotland. We covered the following ground in the conversation:

  • Why is Engage Consult a configurable digital asynchronous consultation system (DACS) that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of healthcare practices?
  • How is collaboration with other services facilitated?
  • How can implementation vary based on organizational structure, such as Primary Care Networks (PCNs) in England or a more practice-level focus in Scotland?
  • What are the automation features for intelligent routing and assignment of patient requests?
  • What is the integration with Vision and EMIS PC?
  • How much will the system cost?
  • How are implementation and support approached?

    • Video demonstrating the Engage Consult system from the SNUG Members Day 2023 (log in needed)
