Kindest Regards Mary Corridan, Managing Director HEALTHHARMONIE AND EVOLUTIO PARTNERSHIP HealthHarmonie are working in partnership with Evolutio Care Innovations for the delivery of the Community Ophthalmology Service. This partnership has been formed to ensure smooth and localised personal delivery of the service, utilising the latest technology to underpin the patient pathway from referral to treatment. We believe as a direct result of this partnership, you and your patients will see the following benefits: Localised Service - Evolutio is based within Henley on Thames and work actively within the field of Ophthalmology, providing effective referral support and clinical triage services. This will bring improved local knowledge and accessibility for you and your patients. Localised Knowledge - Evolutio have an in-depth understanding of the local health economy which supports the smooth integration and whole system approach to the delivery of this service Specialist Experience - Evolutio provide innovation to the field of ophthalmology, offering seamless electronic integration across the eye care pathway, provision of an integrated shared electronic medical record and full integration with NHS e-referral. 5
6 Evolutio will be undertaking the referral management and clinical triage section of the contract, utilising innovative technology to provide an integrated pathway across primary, community and secondary care. GP s can refer into the service using NHS e-referral, whilst optometrists can refer electronically behind the security of the N3 network through e-refer, a bespoke IT platform to allow electronic referrals from optometrists into community services (referrals are also accepted via fax and NHS Mail). Evolutio s team of in-house triage team of experienced clinical optometrists and ophthalmologists review and summarise each referral against locally defined pathways and threshold policies to establish the most appropriate clinic type and urgency. Through the use of integrated systems, Evolutio and HealthHarmonie are able to ensure direct onward referrals for patients into acute providers where appropriate from point of triage and during their care pathway i.e. following a consultation within the community service, ensuring minimal delay to patient care and eliminating any further referral management during the patients care pathway. Together, we provide the foundation infrastructure, clinical expertise and sustainable platform to grow, rethink and revolutionise community ophthalmology provision. 6
