Digitally transforming healthcare
Patient self-reporting is a key aspect before and after surgical or medical treatment. However, the process is often paper-based, leading to errors and leaving no clear audit trails.
Our electronic patient recorded outcome measures (ePROMs) solution enables you to replace pen-and-paper with secure electronic data collection methods — improving data quality, resulting in faster form completion and better clinical decision-making.
Use symptom-scoring tools.
Support patients to self-report their symptoms remotely and receive tailored self-management advice based on their scores. This information is also shared with clinicians in real-time to monitor or respond to treatment.
Improve the patient experience.
Patients can quickly review and complete questionnaires or forms from the comfort of their homes — reducing face-to-face visits in-clinic or hospital. Patients receive a text or email with a secure link to complete a document on any device. No login or registration is needed.
Streamline consent-to-treatment.
Our e-Consent feature enables patients to receive the right information at the right time before they consent to treatment — reducing the risk of errors or misunderstandings between clinicians and patients.
Reduce administrative burdens.
Make significant process improvements by going ‘digital’, enabling clinicians to reduce the administrative burden of paper-based processes and freeing up time to consult with more patients.
Connect with existing systems.
Integrate ePROMS with your other healthcare applications, like patient administration and electronic patient record systems — recording complete patient information. In future, we can expand ePROMS regionally across an integrated care system.
More ePROMs features
How does ePROMs make it easier for patients to complete an assessment form?
Provides a clear and easy way to consent to data sharing
Meeting GDPR standards, our assessment forms initially feature a clear and prominent data protection notice, directing patients to opt-in to data sharing. Patients can only continue with the assessment once they opt in. If they do not agree to consent, your organisation will be alerted.
Meets different language needs
We can produce multiple assessment forms in different languages or use in-form logic to switch between different languages. We provide translations to the person filling in the form, and we can map structured form data to other languages. Note: organisations receiving patient responses in different languages must translate them. However, we plan to feature left-to-right language translation and auto-translation of non-English speaking patient responses.
Features simple and easy-to-read forms
Our assessment forms are designed in plain English with basic readability. For example, we feature short questions with multiple-choice answers. Forms are customisable, so you can adjust text and create multiple versions of the same form, targeting different age groups if needed.
Informs patients about where they are in the process
Our solution can send the patient a confirmation email with a PDF copy of their completed form, showing them how far they have progressed.
Facilitates two-way communication between patients and healthcare professionals
Patients can follow up or communicate with healthcare professionals through our forms. Our solution can also process bi-directional SMS and email communication through our integration and notification engine, AireGlu.
How does ePROMs improve organisational processes?
Captures information about the person completing the assessment
All of our assessment forms ask the patient to confirm if they are completing the form for a relative or carer. If somebody else completes the form, the solution captures their details and relationship with the patient.
Measures form completion rates
We capture the assessment form's initial load time and submission time to show how long it takes patients to complete — helping you continually improve and simplify your patient-facing assessments.
Tracks data by condition, speciality, pathway or consultant via a dashboard
You can view dashboards across condition, speciality, pathway or consultant-level to track completion rates and other patient engagement KPIs.
How does ePROMs integrate with your existing systems?
Integrates with GP records
We can fully integrate our solution with EMIS primary care systems. We are also working to integrate GP data with EMIS and TPP SystmOne for medications, allergies and conditions via the wider GP Connect Programme.
Integrates with electronic patient records (EPRs)
Our solution can integrate with all major EPRs using NHS interoperability standards like HL7-FHIR, IHE-XDS etc. This can be uni or bi-directional, depending on your requirements.
How does ePROMs work across devices and browsers?
Accessible across multiple devices
Our device-agnostic solution uses a 'mobile-first' approach to enable patients and clinicians to access and view the system across their smartphones, tablets or desktops.
Compatible with all major browsers
All major browsers and platforms support our solution, including Windows, MacOS, iOS and Android platforms listed in the government service manual guidance, and Mozilla, Opera and Chromium.
How can you choose to host ePROMs in different ways?
Choose from On-Premise or Cloud hosting
We can support both On-Premise and Cloud hosting.
Training and support
Need help with training?
We can support your Trust's training and implementation teams onsite or virtually before going live. We also provide end-user training for trusts without their own training teams and onsite refresher training, e-learning tools and quick guides for all staff. Either way, we'll work with you before delivering any training to agree on objectives and prerequisites for delegates.
Ongoing support.
We provide standard service desk support from Monday to Friday between 8am and 5pm, excluding bank holidays. You can raise issues by phone and email, and we record and appropriately triage all requests. We'll inform you of your progress within the agreed SLAs. 24/7 support is available on request.
Our ePROMs service plans
We offer a range of plans to suit your healthcare needs and your organisation's size. If you can't find what you're looking for, we can create bespoke plans and offer full integration support.

How ePROMS is helping Alder Hey Children's Hospital
We have worked with Alder Hey Children’s Hospital to help replace traditional paper-based forms with digital eforms to help patients or parents to complete the CHAQ before attending a clinic, the Alder Hey Children's Hospital team sought a digital solution. They also wanted to integrate CHAQ data with their EPR.
