software for psychological therapies

Online appointment booking

Empower patients to book appointments online, at their convenience.

Using this feature, services can offer patients the ability to book their own appointments online, at times to suit their schedule.

Patients are able choose and book their appointment directly into an available slot within a clinician’s diary in iaptus, thereby dramatically reducing admin for services. By allowing patients to choose appointments at a time and date that best suits their schedule, the feature has also been proven to reduce missed appointments.

Online appointment booking can be used in combination with SMS reminders, questionnaires online and integrated video appointments, forming part of a streamlined digital referral to treatment pathway.

The feature is simple for patients and services to use, and can be easily configured to your service’s specific workflows.

Increase patient access to letters, whilst simultaneously reducing the administrative workload on teams. 

Designed to allow letters to be sent securely from iaptus directly to a patient’s mobile device, this time-saving feature provides real-time status updates, allowing services to take swift action when patients have received, accessed or viewed a letter.

Electronic Letters offer a quicker method of letter sending, saving administrative teams a considerable amount of time. The feature has also been proven to reduce both environmental impact and overall costs. 

This feature allows users to generate a unique link from within a patient’s digital care record or from the diary in iaptus, which can then be shared with the patient. Both parties can enter the video call when they are ready, using the links provided.

The technology is completely secure and fully encrypted, giving therapists and their patients the reassurance they need to hold safe, secure and private video appointments.

Clinical notes can be typed up in iaptus whilst the video session is taking place. Screen-sharing and typed chat functionality are also available.

Increase efficiency by using templates to send letters to individuals and groups of patients.

Letter templates can be created within iaptus to enable staff to communicate quickly and easily with individuals, with groups of patients, or with health professionals.

Batch letters you might wish to create include automated new referral letters, appointment confirmation letters and appointment reminders.

This approach within our software for psychological therapies is proven to increase engagement and reduce missed appointments.

Increase attendance by 10%

SMS notifications can be sent to patients automatically. This feature is a customisable, easy to use, automatic and highly effective way to increase patient engagement.

Messages can be tailored for different appointment types, sent a particular number of days in advance of an appointment, or used to confirm changes to appointments and cancellations.

Services experience an average of 10% improvement in attendance, consequent reductions in missed appointments DNA rates and increases in early cancellations, allowing valuable appointment time to be rebooked.

The cost of sending these messages each month is typically recouped in the saving of just one or two missed appointments.

Save up to 25% of productive therapy time per session

There are over 800 questionnaires available in iaptus, software for psychological therapies, that can be completed within the system by patients or clinicians, to suit your organisation’s requirements.

Patients can complete their questionnaires in session on your tablet, with the rest of iaptus safely locked away. The information is then encrypted, and the data is saved in the iaptus patient record, ready to be reviewed.

Alternatively, up to two days prior to their appointment a secure link can be automatically emailed to patients, and they can complete questionnaires via webform from home.

This feature not only saves time during the session, but also allows therapists to understand their client’s state of mind even before their appointment, meaning that actual therapy time can be more productive. In addition, it helps patients to engage more fully with their care.

This feature saves hours of collective clinical time that can be used more effectively, either to allow more dialogue time during appointments or to fit in more appointments each day.

Enable new patients to refer themselves quickly and easily via your website

Prospective new patients can refer themselves for treatment at any time via a short, secure form on your organisation’s website, without the need to speak with a referring health professional.

The cost of sending a typical appointment letter in this way is about 60 pence, as opposed to the typical cost of around £1.52 per letter, creating significant cost savings for your organisation each year.

System to system communications

We believe in interoperability, and that your software for psychological therapies should enable you to work and share data across systems.

We now integrate with over 20 digital health platforms so that NHS IAPT services can safely and securely offer online treatment.

Efficiently coordinate care across organisations

We believe in interoperability, and that your patient management system should enable you to work and share data across partner organisations.

You can extend the use of iaptus to other organisations you work with that also require routine data capture – such as debt counsellors, substance misuse, forced migration trauma, primary care liaison and employment services.

Adding care pathways within iaptus for partner organisations allows you work efficiently to coordinate care, and enables your non-IAPT partners to benefit from a high level of support for their data capture.

Analytics

Unlock the information buried within your datasets.

Trapped within the data you collect each day is an extraordinary amount of information that could help your organisation run both more efficiently and more effectively.

Many of our clients face significant challenges, with excessive demand leading to long waiting times, high missed appointment rates and variable outcomes. But it’s not always clear what is going wrong or why, or whether problems are specific to one organisation or shared by others.

Leveraging the information within your data will allow you to learn from the past, identify trends and patterns in patient care and predict pathways. It will shine a light on the ways that you can adjust your processes to deliver better quality care and achieve improvements in time and financial costs.

Our analytics service unlocks the information buried within your datasets, revealing valuable insights, patterns and anomalies that would otherwise simply be hidden.

Working with our team of experts will ensure that you don’t just see, but truly understand your data. You’ll receive clear, stunningly crafted, presentation-quality graphics and custom dashboards that let you look at your data from every angle, so you don’t miss a thing.
