This talk by our MD Mariana Morris, and Nick de Pennington, neurosurgeon and medical director of the Oxford Biodesign Programme, was given at the joint DHOx and UX Oxford event on UX in Healthcare at the Old Fire Station, Oxford, in October 2016, talking about how NHS Beta is digitally connecting patients to health services.
The Oxford Acute Referral System (OARS) is a web application designed to manage neurosurgery referrals, work seamlessly with clinician and administration workflows, provide records of all communications, sit alongside electronic patient records, and provide a platform that could be used to communicate with patients and carers.
