Docman, the market leading document management and workflow platform used by GP’s in primary care for more than ten years has secured its first secondary care customer in England.
King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has chosen Docman to electronically manage referral letters as part of their strategy to become paper-light. The Referral Management System (RMS) will be used to reform the process by which referrals for outpatient services are logged, vetted and graded by clinicians and tracked through to appointment booking. The RMS implementation of Docman forms part of a wider programme which includes plans to re-organise the referral and outpatient booking activities.
The solution will be used right across the Trust enhancing and speeding up the flow of information between departments, where paper processes can be time consuming and constrained.
Ric Thompson, Managing Director, PCTI “We are delighted to have King’s as our first secondary care Trust to use Docman in England. We have some really exciting plans for Docman in secondary care which will help Trust’s transform the way they manage their information. We are building on our many successful years of providing Docman in primary care where it is used by more than 5,500 practices to support over 20 million patients.”
“Docman in secondary care builds on our experience of providing EDT Hub, an electronic document transfer platform. The Hub has been successfully delivering electronic documents from Trust’s to Docman within the GP practice for some time, now with Docman in the Hospital we can provide an end to end Electronic Document Management, workflow and transfer solution. We are already talking to some of our 50 plus EDT Hub secondary care customers about Docman secondary care.”
