Supports and automates clinical and business processes across Organisational boundaries to make processes and communication more efficient.

A Cross-Organisation workflow can be defined as a series of tasks undertaken across different organisations by Health and Care Professionals in support of a particular clinical or business process. The Cross-organisation Workflow Tools capability supports such workflows and enables organisations to efficiently manage events throughout the various stages of a process through the automation of standard, repeatable processes.

The Cross-Organisation Workflow Tools Capability reduces the communication burden between Organisations and facilitates better coordination of Patient/Service User care across the health and social care system. It allows tasks in the process to be assigned to the correct Health or Care Professional or other Staff Member (the 'participant') and ensures the participant can perform assigned tasks quickly and efficiently by making relevant information about the Patient/Service User and their care available. This could include artefacts such as a shared assessment or care plan.

The Cross-Organisation Workflow Tools Capability provides health and care organisations with the tools that allow them to effectively manage their work across multi-disciplinary and multi-organisational teams. Progress can be tracked, increasing simplicity and allowing issues to be quickly identified and addressed.

Examples of Cross-Organisation workflows include:

...

Supports the creation of custom Workflows for the management of activities across multiple Health or Care Organisations.

Outcomes

For a Patient/Service User:

Receive efficient services from Health or Care Organisations due to improved monitoring and management of cross-organisation activities related to their health and care.

For a Health or Care Organisations:

Supporting day-to-day activities across Health or Care Organisations with the ability to create and manage custom Workflows that support multi-disciplinary and multi-organisational teams.
