Shows the level of digitalisation companies in this line of business typically operate at.

The assessment considers use of core systems, how far processes are digitalised, integrations, data readiness and advanced use of data.

A 3 means ordinary, middling maturity. A 5 is given only where real-time data, automated decisions and advanced optimisation are already a routine part of core operations.

Operating model

The clinic combines services, registrations, documents and payments from different professionals. The patient communicates via the Internet, telephone and reception, so information must be available to different employees according to their rights.

Planned consultation and procedures

The patient is registered for a specific service and receives preparedness information. If an investigation response or intended control is expected after the visit, these actions are added to the list of follow-up tasks.

Continuing Care Clinic

The patient has a repetitive care plan, research responses and individual control actions.

Multi-profile center or network of clinics

The patient can be served by several specialists and units. The visit combines a doctor with the right specialty, location, necessary equipment and previous documents.

Employers' or insurance-paid programs

The clinic verifies the services of the program and the confirmation of the payer. The data required for settlement is provided by agreement, with separate management of access to the patient's health documents.

Market context

Private clinic service begins with proper registration and continues after the visit when the patient is presented with documents and further instructions. Teams of different specialties with different conditions of visits can work in one center. Convenient administration helps the patient to prepare and the specialist to get the necessary information.

  • Preparations before the visitOnce the necessary data and documentation have been collected in advance, fewer issues remain to be addressed upon the patient's arrival.
  • Post-visit serviceThe results of the tests obtained after the consultation and the planned control actions must reach the specialist responsible.

Workflow and responsibilities

01

The need for registration

The patient receives information about the service and conditions of registration. Unclear medical questions are forwarded to the right healthcare professional.

02

Checkout alignment

The visit is given based on the duration of the service, the time of the specialist and the necessary equipment.

03

Consultation and documentation

The specialist reviews the patient's required information, provides the service and confirms the visit record and appointments.

04

Review of test results

The resulting answer of the study is transmitted to the appointed specialist. He evaluates the result and determines the next steps.

05

Follow-up

The patient is given approved instructions, compatible controls or referrals. The team tracks whether information and referrals are needed to perform the next specialist.

Digital maturity scale

1

Separate records and manual work

Information is mainly held in separate files or notes. Employees pass it on and reconcile it manually.

2

Organised data within individual teams

Teams record their work consistently, but sharing information with colleagues still requires considerable manual checking.

3

Partially integrated systems Typical current situation

Core work is managed in systems. Some information is transferred automatically, but repeated data entry remains.

4

Coordinated systems and teams

Systems deliver the required data on time. Employees can see unfinished work and know who is responsible for resolving discrepancies.

5

Continuous measurement and improvement

The team checks data quality, evaluates results and uses them to improve operations. Automation is applied where its value can be demonstrated.

Executive conclusion

The transmission of questionnaires and documents may reduce the administrative work. Results obtained after the visit and the actions envisaged must be seen by the specialist responsible for the patient's care.
