THE COMPANY:

Synopsis is part of the UK group of VitalHub companies, alongside Intouch with Health, Transforming Systems and MCAP.

Surgery and anaesthesia are the engine room of the hospital, where many costs are focused (typically 40%) and where most revenue is generated (typically 70%). The pre-operative process is the fuel for that engine, and Synopsis ensures this process is efficient and effective, supporting NHS Trusts increase patient throughput and theatre utilisation whilst reducing cancellation rates and risk.

The award-winning Synopsis Platform allows hospitals to manage the entire pre-operative assessment – from initial questionnaire through to post-operative outcomes digitally, removing paper trail, increasing data security, and delivering significant organisational benefits – including very clear economic benefits.

The Synopsis platform has been used within the NHS to complete over 120,000 patient pre-operative assessments digitally and has contributed to an average saving of £1.4m per Trust. Savings are generated from the reduction of last-minute cancellations at surgery by an average of 20% and further reductions of administration time within the pre-assessment process, releasing nursing time back to the departments and increasing patient satisfaction across the surgical pathway.
