Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care System incorporates Docobo’s remote monitoring functionality into One Health and Care.

Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care System has incorporated the Docobo Remote Monitoring capability into its One Health and Care (OHC) platform. This will enable clinicians to access data about patients registered at any GP practice in Staffordshire or Stoke-on-Trent who are being remotely monitored. If a patient registered at one of these GP practices seeks services at any organisation outside of Staffordshire or Stoke-on-Trent – but within the OHC scope – e.g. Walsall Manor Hospital – the user will have access to the remote monitoring information for this patient.

This will help support clinical decision making about patients, as clinicians have instant access to baseline readings from patients’ latest remote monitoring observations, which may include temperature, blood oxygen level, blood pressure and any recorded symptoms.

One Health and Care is a confidential digital shared care record for people living in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent and brings together data from across health and social care. It allows registered health and social care professionals to view relevant information in order to provide better, safer care. Docobo’s market leading remote monitoring solution allows patients to undergo monitoring conveniently from the comfort of their homes or chosen residence, enhancing out-of-hospital care. Docobo has been part of the Graphnet Health family since 2021. Recognised as the British leader in population health management solutions, Graphnet is uniquely positioned to support health and care providers – from identifying the patients most in need, and tracking subsequent interventions, to finding and caring for those that would benefit from remote monitoring.

The solution is already being used for a small number of patients.

Sally Deacon, Digital Transformation Lead from Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB said: “Our Shared Care Record sits at the heart of how we are transforming the way we provide care, ensuring information is available to our clinicians and care providers when they need it, regardless of location and organisation. By incorporating the Docobo solution into this record, it will ensure clinicians have as rich and timely access to information as possible to support them in providing the best care possible for our population.”

Following this initial implementation of the system in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, a pipeline of pathways and populations will shortly be onboarded.
