Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust set to transform patient engagement with cutting-edge digital solutions

15th April 2024

Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has chosen Netcall to enable and support their patient engagement digital strategy. This partnership marks a significant milestone for both organisations as they work together to enhance patient care and transform healthcare operations in the region.

As part of this new partnership, Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has procured Netcall’s Patient Engagement Portal, Patient Hub, along with Waiting List Validation. The introduction of these innovative technologies is set to revolutionise and streamline the patient experience within the trust, generating renewed efficiencies and improving overall patient care.

Seamless patient journey

Netcall’s Patient Hub delivers a seamless patient journey, enabling individuals to easily manage their appointments, access personalised health records and receive tailored notifications and reminders. By empowering patients to take a more proactive role in their own healthcare, Patient Hub fosters an environment of increased engagement and empowerment for patients.

The Waiting List Validation solution within Patient Hub, our patient engagement portal, engages with patients by assessing their wait time and inquiring about their treatment preferences, providing specialty-based, customisable responses.

Christine Walters, Director of Informatics at Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals, emphasised the patient-centred approach that Netcall’s solutions enable. She said, “Our collaboration with Netcall has empowered us to prioritise what’s important to our trust right now, which is waiting list validation. We have implemented the Waiting List Validation solution within one month, enabling us to better manage patient flow and ensure timely, efficient care for our patients.”

Christine continues, “Our partnership will help us to empower our patients, giving them greater control over their healthcare journey. By adopting Patient Hub, we are equipping patients with the tools they need to actively participate in their care, leading to better health outcomes and satisfaction.”
