THE SEAMLESS PATHWAYS WE NEED TO GET AHEAD OF HEALTH
Our referral platform means clinicians are no longer consumed by waiting times and waiting lists but about improving seamless pathways, where and how we can make strides in clinical standards, and how to ensure positive patient outcomes can benefit everyone.
For seamless transitions for medical and dental patients which result in waiting times being cut:
- We use simple screens and smart pathways
- We refine patient systems in collaboration with clinical stakeholders
- We integrate with local patient systems using real-time API connections to existing NHS referral systems
A system designed to release NHS capacity
Hospital outpatient visits have nearly doubled in the last 10 years, and the NHS is stretched to its limits.
NEC Rego’s referral management tools create the space for better care. Firstly, its smart workflow prevents rejected referrals or unnecessary clinic visits by helping GPs refer to the right place first time. Secondly, it makes triage faster by giving consultants instant access to the information they need. And finally, it gives hospital managers a single view of outpatient activity so they can improve performance.
As a result, there’s more space in clinics and shorter waits for patients.
Accurate referrals in under 90 seconds
Around 25% of all referrals are rejected by consultants, either because a different pathway was needed or the information was incomplete. In addition, some patients attend clinics only for the hospital to refer them on to more appropriate community providers.
NEC Rego helps GPs to make referrals quickly and with confidence. Its smart pathways are aligned with NICE guidance, approved by consultants and easily adjusted to local needs. As a result, it gets patients to the right provider sooner and frees up space in clinics for those that need hospital care.

Faster, simpler triage for consultants
Triaging referrals can be a drain on clinical time. Referrals arrive from different places in different formats, so it’s hard to work quickly. Plus consultants often need to switch between systems to see the full patient record and download scans before they can make the right decision.
NEC Rego gives consultants everything they need for rapid triage. From one single screen they can access referrals from eRS and other sources, all the relevant imagery and the patient data. And once the decision is made, it updates hospital systems automatically.
