Careful Systems Challenges the Status Quo of Healthcare Communication Worldwide
UK company ensures clinical care coordination is compliant and effective, saving clinical teams time and ensuring patients get the care they deserve faster and more safely.
For Immediate Release
London, UK—16 May 2024—In an era when communication technology is at our fingertips, Careful Systems, a health tech pioneer, is urging healthcare providers globally to reconsider the use of unsecured messaging apps like WhatsApp for patient care coordination. Recent media coverage has suggested WhatsApp usage is ubiquitous in the NHS, and new regulations could see WhatsApp withdraw from the UK.
"Healthcare requires the coordination of hundreds of important actions for each patient, with accuracy, immediacy and confidentiality, across internal and external boundaries and often geographies. While apps such as WhatsApp are used widely, they fall short in stringent security and integration needs nor provide clinical functionality such as multi-disciplinary team views, handover and cross-team referrals," says Dr DJ Hamblin-Brown, CEO of Careful Systems. He continues, "although every hospital, clinic and allied health practice has a patient record system, practitioners are burdened by using these to manage cross-team and cross-organisation collaboration – and so end up using WhatsApp, email, phone calls and spreadsheets - this compromises productivity, continuity of care and results in poorer outcomes for patients."
The CAREFUL platform Careful Systems offers a groundbreaking alternative: an agile, secure, GDPR-compliant solution that integrates seamlessly with existing healthcare infrastructures, enhancing communication among care teams. Their solution ensures that every stakeholder in the patient's journey—from doctors to specialists to family members—has the right information at the right time within a secure environment.
