BE PROACTIVE, NOT REACTIVE
What is Pathpoint ePOA?
Pathpoint ePOA is a cloud-based preoperative assessment platform designed to free up clinical time so you can optimise patients before surgery and build a pool of surgery-ready patients, helping you cut waiting times and streamline elective care. It achieves this by automating screening, generating complexity scores from patients' questionnaire responses, and supporting downstream perioperative pathway management.
How will it benefit you?
Reduces admin workload
Enables more efficient patient prioritisation
Improves communication
Fewer inpatients and shorter stays
Decreases cancellations
Aligns with GIRFT
Improves patient flow
Saves time and capacity
Proven success
100% of patients receive a screening questionnaire 24 hours after being added to a waiting list.
2/3 of patients completed their questionnaires, got a complexity score, and were ready for optimisation within 4 days
65.43% of patients completed their questionnaire on the same day
The time taken to complete the questionnaire remained consistent across all age groups, showing ease of use and accessibility for all patients
Number of POAs per week increased by 25%, indicating an improvement in capacity to handle more patients
Highly granular data capture, helping to improve timely patient optimisation with early identification of key health issues:
14.5% as active smokers
9.6% with type 2 Diabetes
26.5% with high blood pressure

Hear what our clients are saying
The platform is a fully cloud-based system, so we can securely access patient information remotely from wherever we are working. It is far more reliable than our previous paper-based solutions, as patient information is fully centralised and can be accessed from anywhere. It is brilliant from a patient safety point of view, as all the information is easily accessible and every action is tracked. We can identify where each patient is in their pathway at any time. Pathpoint has resulted in less surgical cancellations.
