WINNER Feedback Medical & Queen Victoria Hospital FT: Enhancing NHS Diagnostics Pathways with Bleepa: Streamlining Complex Care for Breathlessness Patients

By partnering with Feedback Medical and implementing Bleepa’s secure messaging system, the project with Queen Victoria Hospital enhanced GP access to diagnostic data and improved care coordination. This holistic approach facilitated earlier, data-driven clinical decisions, resulting in a 63 per cent reduction in patient wait times from referral to treatment, alongside a 90 per cent decrease in outpatient appointments. The integration of diverse diagnostic tests enabled effective case management across primary and secondary care, ultimately leading to significant savings in consultant time and costs, and subsequently optimising the healthcare delivery model.
