Bexley Health Neighbourhood Care Launches Appian COVID-19 Application to Safeguard Patients and Frontline Healthcare Staff
April 14 2020 - 9:00AM
Appian (NASDAQ: APPN) today announced that Bexley Health
Neighbourhood Care (BHNC), a division of the National Health
Service (NHS), launched an Appian application to support COVID-19
response in the southeast London region. The application is called
the “COVID-19 Command and Control - Patient and Workforce
Tracker.” It was designed on the Appian Low-code Automation
Platform and deployed in just one week.
All UK healthcare providers must implement new national guidance
and procedures to ensure compliance within the NHS across Primary
Care and the wider local health & social care system. BHNC’s
Appian-based application automates and streamlines compliance with
the NHS COVID-19 Hospital Discharge Service Requirements. These
requirements are designed to protect 1.5m vulnerable people and
those acute patients being discharged, when clinically safe to do
so, into care and treatment outside of acute care facilities. The
application also safeguards frontline healthcare staff and
facilities and supports peer-to-peer staff assistance.
“Keeping people out of the hospital is essential to lower the
immense pressure that our Acute Critical and Intensive Care
facilities are currently under,” said Darren Blake, Chief Operating
Officer at Bexley Health Neighbourhood Care. “Appian helps us
quickly bring data, people, and processes together to ensure
patients are receiving the best possible care, that care-givers are
safe, and that facilities are available.”
The application gives BHNC a robust solution for command and
control of all the required safety measures for tracking,
monitoring, and protecting patients and staff. Patients are tracked
with integrated assessments and support packages, and most at-risk
are managed by a coordinated multi-agency care provider team. In
addition to patient tracking, the application includes staff and
facilities tracking to ensure that patient needs are matched with
available resources. The application provides governance oversight
so that all agencies and care providers can work as one.
“Speed of response is the most crucial element in dealing with
the effects of coronavirus on our communities,” said Paul Maguire,
Senior Vice President, EMEA and APAC at Appian. “We are happy to be
able to help organizations like BHNC securely and rapidly
coordinate their response and protect their people.”
