As a leading operator in the healthcare sector since 1978, we have witnessed a declining number of GP visits each year. Now, with the current COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people seeking medical advice has decreased dramatically. It is essential for those who need medical support, still receive the care they require as a large proportion of GP services require face to face treatment.
With our extensive experience in delivering patient management systems, the Jayex Connect platform is here to help and guide UK health practitioners in “the new normal” for patient care during COVID-19. Notably, our technology supports a “contactless experience” and the provision of timely information. Jayex products should give Britains confidence that they can receive medical support in a safer environment, in the COVID-19 world.
The rise of the "contactless" experiences
As it often happens with major catastrophic events, many societal practices change irreversibly. Understandably, the pandemic has made us all afraid to touch any surface exposed to the public. Nowhere is this fear more prominent than in a healthcare clinic setting.
Jayex Arrive, our recently launched mobile check in module, enables easy and efficient check-in from a mobile device, helping to reduce queues, avoid congesting waiting room areas and support social distancing behaviour. This not only reduces the need for surface and face to face exposure, but it also relieves the administrative burden on your staff. This capability has been very well received by healthcare providers and patients under the current COVID-19 constraints., we received hundreds of requests from health practices in the first week of launching.
Integrating digital displays is an essential step in creating a healthcare facility that treats patient satisfaction as a priority. When situated in crucial areas of your practice —such as the lobby, waiting areas, or hallways — Jayex Display can be used to promote your content to patients, keep them informed with the latest COVID-19 information, and ensure patient calling is handled as efficiently as possible.
We have been developing and installing touchscreen self-check-in solutions since 2005. During that time, we’ve completed more than 2200 NHS projects across primary, community, and acute health services - so, you can be sure you’re in safe hands.
Communicating timely information
The need for timely medical communication has never been more important than during this pandemic, where the patient care journey quite often needs to occur outside the walls of your clinic. With the rise of digital marketing, it is easier than ever to send information, spread knowledge and engage patients wherever they are. Using digital patient engagement tools, you can send texts and emails about the latest COVID-19 news and preventive health information.
Our patient engagement module Jayex Campaign makes creating and sharing targeted healthcare campaigns simple. Our platform enables you to filter your patient data into targeted segments, enabling your practice to send healthcare campaigns to specific groups. For example, by age group, gender, or health concern. This provides an opportunity to educate your patients with relevant and personal health campaigns – empowering them with knowledge during these uncertain times and giving them greater autonomy over their care.
In addition, increased online patient involvement can result in a 90% overall satisfaction rate for patients and significantly reduces the number of re-admissions.
Digital Technology is Here to Stay
With the introduction of telehealth services in response to COVID-19, there is no doubt shifting these areas of care to virtual services has had a short-term benefit during the pandemic.
Additionally, there is potential to improve access to care, patient experience, health outcomes and healthcare-spending efficiency for the long-term. With the growing demand for digital tools reaching an all-time high, it is crucial that practices consider remote technology as a means to maintain consistent patient engagement for the foreseeable future.
To meet the increasing demand for telehealth and remote patient management options, we are also working towards integrating well-established telehealth Lifespot Health’s BodyTel capability into the Jayex Connect platform.
This will allow GP’s and patients access to monitor and manage chronic diseases remotely. By adding this capability to our platform, we will have one of the most comprehensive patient management systems available to GPs and respond to the increasing demand for telehealth.
