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 consultation, all of which link data and inter-operate
with EMRs or operate stand-alone. With market leading sorting
abilities and regularly updated, extensive clinical content, Odyssey
maximises value via:
-
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.
-
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.
-
999/112/911,etc 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.
-
Nurse clinics
in primary and urgent 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
-
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.
-
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.
