Find out how we can help you manage your patient data.
Ensure accurate patient details
Managing patient names and addresses, lifestyle characteristics and medical history across various platforms means that maintaining accurate data is a constant challenge.
As organisations use different systems, difficulties occur in exchanging information which can impact healthcare provision.
Patient data is constantly changing. Experian QAS works with trusts within the National Programme for IT, and those outside it, and our own contact data management (CDM) solutions to:
Experian QAS products and services
Used by over 150 NHS organisations, QAS Pro uses data integrated within Patient Administration Systems (PAS) to accurately and quickly collect contact details. This ensures services such as electronic prescription ordering and appointment eBooking work efficiently.
Patient data can then be kept up to date with QAS Batch
Avoiding duplicate patient records
Achieving a single patient view can be hindered by duplicate patient records, leading to important information being lost in relation to a patient's health.
QAS Identify can be used at point of data collection, allowing the patient to confirm that they are the same individual, therefore preventing duplicates entering your database.
It is a unique de-duplication service for the Public Sector, which helps facilitate a single view of your patients across a whole organisation and across multiple departments. It can identify duplicate individuals in your database, even when that individual has moved house or changed their name.
" QAS Identify will help with the increasing demand for tools that facilitate single views of customers and citizens across organisations. This will in turn allow public sector bodies to be more efficient and provide a better service to the UKpopulation."
Stuart Johnston, UK Managing Director, Experian QAS
