The opportunity:
Clinical documentation consumes a substantial amount of clinicians’ time, with up to a quarter of the working day spent on record-keeping and administrative activities. This contributes to workload pressures, burnout and limits time available for patient care.
As healthcare systems seek to improve productivity, AVT offers an opportunity to reduce administrative burden, enhance patient-clinician communication, and produce more timely, accurate clinical documentation.
What is Health Innovation Wessex doing locally?
Health Innovation Wessex is working with providers and primary care colleagues at different stages of their AVT journey. Our key focus is the safe implementation of AVT into health services across Wessex.
To do that we have created a Community of Practice (CoP) for Dorset primary care colleagues that focuses on the safe implementation of AVT. This includes clinical safety, evaluation and highlighting useful resources that can enable services to adopt AVT with safety and sustainability in mind.
Outside of the CoP, we practically support colleagues using a combination of the areas listed below;
- Activity baseline – In collaboration with you, we will investigate your current activity and the potential effect that AVT could have if it was adopted.
- Clinical safety support – Though we can’t write the Clinical Safety Case for you, we can provide support to your colleague(s), facilitate hazard workshops and give best practice advice on clinical safety.
- AVT supplier conversations – We can join conversations with AVT suppliers to identify which manufacturer might be the best fit for your PCN.
- Pilots – We can collaborate with you to organise pilots for set periods of time prior to full adoption
- Implementation support – We can support you and your colleagues through the implementation process (should you choose to adopt an AVT) in collaboration with you and the supplier
- Evaluation – We can support you to undertake an evaluation where you can realise the tangible differences that the AVT has made.
