Comrad announces the release of Aura Care Connect – patient engagement from referral to report

SECTOR UPDATE - Comrad

Comrad is excited to announce Aura Care Connect, a RIS-driven, web-based patient engagement platform. The cloud-hosted platform provides the foundation for medical imaging practices to deliver an end-to-end digital patient journey for each attendance, from the moment the patient is referred through to completion and delivery of their clinical report.
 
The first release of Aura Care Connect allows patients to schedule medical imaging appointments at their own convenience, into resources and time slots made available by the practice. The booking process is launched from an embedded widget in the Medical Imaging practice's website and is securely connected back to the integrated COMRAD system. 

The Online Appointments workflow captures important patient information, including details about the patient’s requested examination, and provides mechanisms for the patient to securely upload an image of their referral document. Once uploaded, the information is securely stored in the RIS and the appointment is scheduled into the RIS Calendar, all in real time.
 
The Aura Care Connect platform has a simple, responsive user interface that seamlessly guides the patient through workflow steps without them needing to understand the complexities of a practice’s scheduling rules. 
  
Future releases of Aura Care Connect will include:

1. Pre-registration workflows – A secure, client-branded application allowing patients to complete certain registration tasks before they arrive in the clinic, including the completion of consent forms, updates to demographics, links to find more information about the requested procedure, display a booking summary that includes patient instructions and download a copy of the booking summary to the device’s calendar.
2. Integration to GP e-Referrals workflows to further automate the patient online booking workflow, and enhancements to the patient booking experience.
3. Patient self-arrival workflows will allow for patients to complete in-practice registration either from their own device or from a practice device.
4. Post examination workflows including patient surveys and secure access to view invoices, reports and images.
