Bleepa(R) pilot study - The Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust,
part of the Northern Care Alliance, to initiate a pilot study using
Bleepa(R)
Pilot study to be used initially by respiratory teams to receive
internal patient referrals
Cambridge, 18 November 2019: Feedback plc (AIM: FDBK, "Feedback"
or the "Company"), the specialist medical imaging technology
company, announces a pilot study with Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS
Trust using its new encrypted medical communication platform,
Bleepa(R) , which enables clinicians to access medical grade images
through smartphones, tablets and desktops.
The study will be carried out initially by Dr Georges Ng Man
Kwong's team who receive respiratory requests for specialist review
of inpatients from other clinical teams. The study will assess how
Bleepa(R) supports the workflow of cross team referrals and is
expected to go live during December and last for approximately
three months. It is anticipated that a number of additional
clinicians from various specialities will be involved in the study
and key endpoints will examine the system benefits of Bleepa(R)
deployment. The quality of data, user experience and impact on
patient care are the focus of the study with pre and post
benchmarks executed and scheduled.
The board of Feedback anticipates that, following initial
success, the pilot will be extended to include other clinical teams
within the Trust with interest expressed for Orthopaedic and
Vascular referrals.
Dr Tom Oakley, CEO of Feedback, commented:
"Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust is a renowned adopter of new
technology given its status as a GDE Fast follower site, and we
look forward to working with the team on our first pilot study of
Bleepa(R) . We believe that Bleepa will accelerate the process of
requesting a specialist opinion from colleagues, ultimately
resulting in better care for patients, faster.
"The Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust pilot study is our first,
but with the interest we have received since the launch of Bleepa
at the NHS Expo 2019 in September, we anticipate more to
follow."
Libby Woodcock, EPR Transformation Manager of Pennine Acute
Hospitals NHS Trust, commented:
"Transforming clinical services by providing digital enablement
is always high on our agenda and we are excited to be
involved."
Dr Georges Ng Man Kwong, Consultant Chest Physician and CCIO of
Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, commented:
"Bleepa is addressing a direct clinical challenge to better
support our busy respiratory clinicians (at the Royal Oldham
Hospital) by improving referral process and patient care. Each
referral requires rapid and reliable access to radiology images and
clinical handover information, and a means of messaging referring
teams and documenting outcome. Bleepa has the potential to bring
this together for our clinicians and therefore for our patients. We
are delighted to be involved with this innovation solution."
Bleepa(R) is an innovative new app based on Feedback's Cadran
technology, which allows medical staff to securely view and discuss
high quality medical grade images on mobile devices. The app will
display images directly from the hospital's Picture Archiving and
Communication System (PACS). Bleepa(R) can display any type of
image including X-rays, CTs, MRIs and ultrasound studies allowing
users to easily scroll through image slices and annotate areas of
interest. Questions can be asked alongside annotations and
submitted into the chat where they can be securely reviewed by
colleagues at the swipe of a finger, with instant access to the
original image.
