TurnKey Validation
Solution
We know there are times when Trusts require external validation capacity to support their internal teams. Given that validating patient records can have profound impacts on patient care, it is essential that the validation provided is of the highest standard. That’s why all of our validation solutions are subject to rigorous quality assurance processes and offer absolute transparency, providing you with the peace of mind that your patients are in the safest of hands.
Our validation solutions are broadly categorised into three common areas of need.
AVOID
unnecessary outpatient attendances
ENSURE
clinician time and Trust spend is not waisted on unnecessary activity
REDUCE
risk of clinical harm
1
Follow Up Waiting List Validation
Follow Up patients are potentially the cohort at greatest risk of clinical harm, for example, if the Follow Up date has been exceeded by a clinically relevant period of time. Also, unnecessary outpatient attendances are very common, leading to wasted clinician time and Trust spend. Through numerous programmes of work validating Follow Up waiting lists we identified that on average 18% of outpatient attendances are unnecessary and can be removed when validated. We also found that on average, 26% of patients are overdue their Follow Up by a clinically significant period of time. Removing the unnecessary outpatient attendances and identifying the patients overdue their follow up supports the Trust in prioritising activity to focus on the patients with pressing clinical need.

Non-RTT pathways that are live but should not be on the Incomplete PTL

Open Referrals Validation
Source Group’s open referrals validation solution assists in identifying Lost referrals where the patient requires an action that the Trust is unaware of and won’t be identified through the existing protocols. The validation exercise will close down inactive referrals and escalate lost referrals to the Trust for action.
