Digital Virtual Outpatient Application
Fiona McDonald, Clinical Lead, CSO, NHS Health Call
Digital Outpatients gives NHS trusts a way of managing their out-patient clinics digitally. NHS teams can manage a mix of face-to-face, telephone and virtual interactions. In addition, it manages the outputs from the appointment using digital tools, which all go back into the clinical record. It can also be adapted for primary care purposes. Digital Outpatients is an end-to-end digital solution so that organisations can manage their outpatient services.
Digital Outpatients is made up of a number of different modules which can be mixed and matched. Organisations can choose from:
- Preferences
- Correspondence (digital letters)
- Appointment reminders
- Pre-assessment questionnaires
- Video consultation

- PROMs / post-assessment questionnaires
Information is sent directly into local clinical systems by integrating with Trust Integration Engines.

The Digital Technology Assessment Criteria: embedding baseline standards for procuring digital technology

All digital health technologies (including apps) that are being trialled, purchased, embedded into pathways, or advocated to patients need to pass the DTAC prior to or at the point of commissioning or buying these technologies. Lauren Harkins will give an overview of the DTAC, and will explain how it can be used by local teams to ensure digital health technology meets the national minimum baseline standards.
