Hospitals connecting inpatient and outpatient services

For hospitals

Keep outpatient and inpatient work on one patient record. Connect the teams managing care, medicines and billing, then choose the operational modules your hospital needs for review and follow-up.

What you open with

A curated starting point for your evaluation, not every feature in the chosen plan. Each module shows how it is bought.

Extend clinical work into hospital oversight

Start with Care Hospitals and the workflows confirmed for your implementation. Emergency and Theatre are included modules but are still being completed in the HIS, so review their readiness before setting a go-live scope. Add Flow Incidents and Quality for investigation and audit work, then select Complaints, Risk, Assets or Documents as needed. Engage can support patient enquiries and commercial relationships when relevant. These are chosen capabilities across the platform, not a promise that every hospital department has a dedicated module.

Keep the patient record useful across teams

Hospital care involves handovers between outpatient services, wards, diagnostics, pharmacy and billing. Each team needs the relevant patient context without reconstructing the visit from separate systems. Clinical leaders also need to distinguish the care record from the evidence used to investigate incidents or review practice.

Care Hospitals includes the Clinics Pro scope, then adds nursing care, inpatients and beds, emergency, theatre and pharmacy. Nursing, bed management and pharmacy give the inpatient workflow its operational context. Emergency and Theatre are included in the plan but are still being completed in the HIS; their inclusion is not a statement of current implementation readiness.

Build the review process around confirmed scope

Flow provides separately selected modules for incidents, complaints, quality, risk, assets and documents. Audit and policy records can support regulatory or accreditation review, while qualified people remain responsible for assessing practice and signing off. General quality indicators are still being completed and must not be treated as live reporting.

Bring an illustrative patient journey from outpatient assessment to admission and discharge to the demonstration. Review the current clinical and billing workflow, then follow a separate audit or incident example. Agree readiness and responsibilities before committing each department to the rollout.

Common questions

Care Hospitals adds nursing care, inpatients and beds, emergency, theatre and surgery, and includes pharmacy. Emergency and Theatre are still being completed, so confirm readiness before including them in a go-live plan.

Their current implementation readiness is not confirmed here. They are included modules in Care Hospitals but are still being completed in the HIS, with no go-live date promised in this copy.

No. Flow does not transmit individual incidents to DoH. Its supported transmission is limited to the monthly maternal and infant death zero report; the hospital manages other external reporting separately.

No live general Quality indicators capability is promised. That area is still being completed. Available clinical audit scoring and other confirmed Flow workflows can be demonstrated separately.

No. The scope is the named Care and Flow capabilities. Dedicated blood bank, dialysis, physiotherapy and maternity modules are not claimed, and specialist requirements should be reviewed explicitly before purchase.
