Far Eastern Countries, including China
Odyssey offers significant value to the ethnically diverse
populations in the region that are spread over wide areas with
unequal access to healthcare facilities. Its unique approach
offers patient self assessment, advanced web-deployed tele-triage
software and support for face-to-face nurse consultation, all
of which link data and inter-operate with EMRs and PHRs. With
market leading sorting abilities and regularly updated, extensive
clinical content, Odyssey maximises value via:
-
Improved access to
healthcare, especially for underserved communities.
Wherever demand for medical services exceeds available supply,
Odyssey helps sort patients by priority and supports rapid,
safe, efficient patient assessments; face-to-face, via the
phone or self assessment in booths or on the web.
-
Medical insurance
providers generate efficiencies and are more able
to keep premiums down if they use Odyssey in their call centers.
Proven since 1995, Odyssey has evolved continuously since
and will refer over 50% of urgent care patients to self care
or routine physician appointments.
-
Telemedicine
needs decision support to assist remote nurse assessments,
not just of the long term condition under evaluation but also
of all other possible ailments and the impact they may have
on their conditions, Odyssey TeleAssess combines the ultimate
in safety with rapid assessments.
-
Nurse clinics
in primary, urgent and ambulatory care centers can deliver
consistently high quality of care, irrespective of nurse experience
levels when supported by Odyssey FaceToFace. Add value to
reception desks and waiting rooms with Reception and SelfAssess
products.
-
Tele-triage:
appropriate for any call center operation focused on telephone
assessment, patient prioritization and effectively sorting
to minimize the level of further medical intervention required.
Equally appropriate for physician/nurse answering services
as after-hours patient care or remote service provision.
-
999/119/120 and emergency
medicine needs effective patient triage at different
parts of the process to drive savings in resource needs and
ensure those in most need get the attention they deserve.
Odyssey delivers this: in the call center to sort low urgency
calls and reduce costly, unnecessary ambulance despatches;
at scene for paramedics to safely evaluate the need for emergency
transportation; and at the hospital ED to prioritize queues
and drive efficiency and safety.
-
Employer Programs
such as sickness absence management and workers compensation
schemes are designed to cut employer costs through the addition
of low cost, professional healthcare provision for staff.
They benefit from the efficiency gains in tele-triage and
nurse assessment decision support that only Odyssey can provide,
along with superior documentation and indestructible, contemporaneous
audit trails.
-
Jails
realize massive savings by treating more patients at the
correctional facility and referring fewer offsite, to
hospitals and external physicians. Nurses empowered to
provide more in-house via Odyssey FirstAssess, including
standardized reception assessments with rules-based alerts,
examination guides and decision support.
-
Shipping
industries require decision support in the event of illness
or injury of a crew member when travelling internationally,
to give the best possible care even when located many miles
off shore. Odyssey MarineAssess is designed for use by the
captain or master of the ship and is supplied on a rugged
mobile tablet.
-
Remote locations,
such as oil rigs, mining installations and other industrial
plants often lack direct access to healthcare
professionals. Odyssey RemoteAssess covers a very broad
range of problems that may be presented in such settings. It
helps guide non-clinically trained personnel to assess
individuals who are unwell or injured. It also creates a
full record of their symptoms and needs, and supports
decision-making about treatment, care and referral to other
services. In this way people worldwide can gain access to
effective, evidence-based healthcare and advice even where
there is no doctor or nurse available.
