Integrated Care Boards

Delivering more coordinated care

Improve the patient experience and deliver practice efficiencies at scale with a Cloud-based healthcare phone system being used by GP surgeries, GP hubs and federations, and across ICBs.

Deliver more efficient, more coordinated care with an enhanced communications platform that supports regional digital visions for sustainable, transformed care.

ICBs are using transformation funding to put in place advanced telephony to help measure and manage demand across multiple health and care providers; better deliver extended access and collaborative, coordinated care; and improve staff productivity, resource usage and the patient experience.

With Surgery Connect, ICBs can:

Achieve financial savings and deliver new forms of consultation
Analyse performance to inform commissioning decisions
Measure and manage demand across multiple sites
Support extended access through a centralised contact centre

What Surgery Connect Supports

As well as regional health and care delivery strategies, Surgery Connect supports several GP Forward View high-impact actions. It also puts in place a secure, scalable platform that can provide the data and platform for artificial intelligence, machine learning and population-level analytics.

Fixed Costs

Our all-inclusive rental model provides a cost-effective route to deploying advanced communication and consultation tools across multiple sites and organisations. Upfront Capex cost models also available on request.

We saw that lots of GP practices were paying too much for their phone systems, which were often antiquated and did not have the functionality required to support new ways of working. With Surgery Connect, we saw that the system had been designed with GP input and built to meet the needs of practices.
