Point's world class acuo technology platform is now being applied to providing secure, reliable, and performant data capture within the Healthcare industry. Whether supporting electronic patient records, implementing an online patient or staff complaints process, Regulatory Reporting, or Research and Development data capture. acuo provides your organisation with a robust, and scalable secure multi-channel solution with full accessibility options and early ROI.

Over two thirds of healthcare transactions today are paper-based which means the administrative overheads in running a healthcare operation are kept needlessly high and efficiency frustratingly low. One such example where acuo can demonstrate real benefits is in the area of patient records. With acuo, healthcare institutions can now improve the quality of care they provide by making patient medical histories available electronically.

With acuo, hospitals and GPs can accurately and completely capture vital information about patients using an electronic form. They can easily and quickly create or update a record, validate the information for accuracy, and save it in an industry XML compliant file. With automated transfer enabled, captured data can be sent direct into back office systems such as hospital and GP administration systems, portals, and even external organisations.

Significantly for patients, they can have limited access to their medical records in order to update personal details, such as a change of address and for viewing their medical history, perhaps when applying for life and health insurance. Moreover, medical histories can easily travel with the patient and be made available to other GPs and hospitals.

Captured data can be shared and accessed by anyone within your organisation as well as by external stakeholders. For example, a GP updating a patient record could query an external knowledge base to cross-check for potential interactions with other medications in the patient's file and even automatically forward a prescription for dispensing to the patient's local pharmacy for later collection.

acuo supports communication with company and regulatory portals by adopting Healthcare industry XML messaging standards such as HL7 and CDA as well as data capture via extranet and patient-facing internet sites. A full audit trail can be set up such that timely and accurate information can be shared with Governmental and regulatory bodies.

Developed with large organisations in mind, acuo has been specifically designed to provide an easy to use and fully functional service to your end users and customers. With its large scale design and performance, it is the right choice for your intranet, extranet, internet and portal users. acuo broadens your reach as data capture routines developed for use on acuo can be used on other channels.

Maximise on your investment in key staff by allowing them to concentrate on tasks and projects which utilise their skills to the full by providing the facility for self-service or by automating your data capture requirements with acuo.

acuo can be fully white-labelled and made to look and feel just like your organisation's website or portal as well as matching those of your business partners. This provides your end users with a seamless and consistent experience and enhances the interaction process for them, removing frustration and reducing the need for assistance. Management and maintenance overheads are minimised due to the ease with which the data required to be captured as well as the look and feel can be changed to suit.
