Synopsis Digital Pre-operative Assessment Platform
Surgery and anaesthesia are the hospital's engine room, where many costs are focused and where most revenue is generated (typically 70%). The pre-operative process is the fuel for that engine. Synopsis ensures this process is efficient, supporting hospitals to increase patient throughput and theatre utilisation while reducing cancellation rates and risk.
The multi award-winning Synopsis Platform enables hospitals to manage the entire pre-operative assessment digitally, removing paper trail, increasing data security, and delivering significant organisational benefits.
About
Synopsis has been used in the NHS to complete over 165,000 patient pre-operative assessments, contributing to an average saving of £1.4m per trust, per annum. Savings are generated from the reduction of last-minute cancellations of surgery by an average of 20% and further administration time reductions, releasing nursing time back to the departments and increasing patient satisfaction across the surgical pathway.
Synopsis stands apart from other digital pre-operative solutions by being the first solution to fully integrate with various hospital Patient Administration Systems - delivering effective digital transformation by joining-up siloed data systems to smooth the flow of patients to surgery, reduce administrative time for clinicians and elevate the experience for patients.
Synopsis receives multiple data inputs from patients, clinicians and lab data from other systems, and processes all that data using over 250 tailored algorithms to generate clear outcomes, supporting the decision-making process with a full risk assessment. Synopsis provides a collection of published clinical scores, including ASA, STOP-BANG and P-POSSUM, with calculated cardiac and lung risk levels, and a mortality score. These risk scores help to provide a standardised, summarised view of the assessment data, which is accessible to all relevant staff across the hospital or trust.
The Synopsis Platform includes Synopsis Home and Synopsis iQ. Synopsis Home enables hospital patients to complete their pre-operative health questionnaire on their phone, a tablet or a computer, from the comfort of their home. Synopsis iQ is the complete digital pre-operative assessment solution, including clinical decision support, helping to increase the throughput of fit-for-surgery patients to theatre and maximise theatre utilisation.
