Introducing #InspirEDHealth and our #InspirED100 program.
We’re on a mission to transform urgent and emergency care, enhancing patient experience and empowering staff. We believe every person deserves dafe, effective and responsive care. Unfortunately overcrowding has become the nor, endangering patient safety and experience. It’s time to break free from this cycle.
From Risk Reduction to Waiting Times Woes, we are here to make emergency care thrive.
Why delay-related harm audits are important?
According to a study done by Royal College of Emergency Medicine, evidence shows delays to care and long waits to admission to hospital equate to a patient’s risk of harm and death, even after leaving an Emergency Department. This study was an observational study of more than five million NHS patients showed an increase in all-cause 30-day mortality, adjusted for age and co-morbidity.
Dr Adrian Boyle, President of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, states"we believe that being honest with the data will be a service to patients and staff. It will lead to a better understanding of patient flow and to both transformation and change in the emergency care system."
Our solution can provide your organisation with the tools to prevent overcrowding, empower staff and assess clinical risks whilst improving overall patient experience.
