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.
