“The main benefit for the GPs is that they have a unified process. It doesn’t matter which hospital the letters come from, they go in to the practice via the MedisecNET funnel into the GP’s document management software, so that the practice only need use one method of dealing with correspondence.”
Debi Lees,
ICT Project Manager/Business Analyst,
Cheshire ICT Service
“Medisec is the missing link. By providing one central electronic funnel which a whole range of providers can drop information into, it allows everyone to talk to one another in a consistent way. It means that we get critical clinical information from the hospital overnight rather than it"
Dr Neil Paul,
GP, Ashfields Primary Care Centre, Cheshire
"Medisec has cut our paper-handling costs significantly. As this is true electronic communication, we no longer have to spend time scanning in documents and we can manipulate text easily by copying and pasting. This dramatically reduces the need to re-input patient details and the associated chance of error, so the net effect is much more accurate patient records. The ability to view future hospital appointments allows diligent GPs to ensure that an ill patient will definitely be seen soon enough, and if not, to chase."
Dr David Morris,
GP,
St Mark's Dee View Surgery, Flintshire
"Medisec software has been pivotal in improving the quality and availability of patient information for us. It's very popular with administrative staff as it eliminates the need to scan or re-input documents. With over 7,000 patients on our books, we estimate that it saves us at least an hour every day."
David Whitehead,
Practice Manager, Ashville Surgery, Manchester
"The discharge notes which we get from the consultant often don't arrive until weeks, and sometimes even months, after the patient has been discharged, and often it is a case of too little too late. The Medisec electronic template system provides us with all the information we need to enable us to provide high quality ongoing care for our patients. It has given general practice the opportunity to say what we need and to ensure standards are consistently high."
Dr Helen Hosker,
Clinical Lead for Strokes and Falls, NHS Manchester
"GPs will be delighted to receive the new Medisec discharge forms. This should prompt other specialities to do the same."
Dr Alison Hutton, GP,
Mount Road Surgery, Gorton
"Before the new software, we would produce the referral, print it out and put it in an envelope. Now, the patients love seeing the message flash on the screen, confirming that the hospital server has received the referral before they get up from their chair in my consulting room. It's very reassuring both for them and us."
