Chineham Park occupier Develop IQ is proud to announce that Ashford and St. Peter's NHS Hospitals Foundation Trust have purchased the Maternity Pathway Tariff Module for the PaperIQ Digital Pen platform in order to efficiently and accurately record their PbR (Payment by Results) and Maternity Pathway Tariff data.
The team of 40 Community Midwives will be recording all Ante and Postnatal Episodes of Care, Antenatal attendance to support their CNST level 2 application and to collect much need information on the Maternity Pathways in time for the 1st April 2013 deadline.
One of the reason's DevelopIQ was selected by Ashford and St.Peters was because it has an "off the shelf" solution for Maternity PbR data capture that can be very rapidly delivered. From receipt of the contract award notification to installation of the software and testing will have taken only two weeks, so the solution will be comfortably delivered in time for the Department of Health deadline of April 1st.
Commenting on the contract award, Laura Ellis-Philip,Head of Informatics Programme Management at Ashford and St.Peters NHS Foundation Trust, said "The NHS mandatory maternity activity coding is changing in April 2013 and Ashford & St Peter's NHS Foundation Trust intends to meet this challenge by procuring a digital pen solution that will allow its midwives to capture risk assessment data for expectant mothers. Without this information the Trust would be paid at a lower tariff for high risk patients, leading to a substantial loss of income. Therefore, due to the importance of this project, it was decided to use DevelopIQ Ltd, as the company has a strong background in supplying digital pens to the NHS and has performed similar work before for other trusts. Right from the beginning of this project, DevelopIQ has been quick to respond to requests and queries, giving the Trust confidence that the system will be available in time for the deadline."
Claire Brookes-Daniels, a maternity specialist and Business Development Manager at DevelopIQ, said "our PaperIQ digital pen solution for PbR data capture is in high demand currently, it is fast and straightforward to implement and enables Maternity departments to ensure that they accurately capture and report on the booking of mothers into their care and maximise the revenue they receive from the Department of Health for their activities. Beyond the initial PbR investment driver, maternity teams can then use their pens to capture data from the handheld set of notes that mothers retain at home during their pregnancy and this use case has been proven very effectively by Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust".
