Our decision support software solutions are designed to guide healthcare practitioners seamlessly through patient consultations, eliminating the need for specialist expertise. By integrating national guidelines, we can tailor this technology to develop bespoke solutions across various disease areas, ensuring consistent, high-quality patient care.
This innovative approach has the potential to bridge gaps in healthcare inequality, particularly in regions where specialist nurse resources are limited. By enabling more healthcare professionals to deliver guideline level care, our solutions not only enhance patient outcomes but also contribute to significant cost savings for the NHS, optimising resource allocation and improving overall efficiency.
- Proactive ‘risk stratification’
- Effective guideline implementation
- Increase patient compliance with ‘inhaled therapy’
- ‘Do we have uncontrolled asthma or uncontrolled compliance?’.
In collaboration with Bedfordshire CCG, NSHI’s Respiratory Audit Tool, was utilised in a patient Identification and risk stratification study as GP computer systems used in primary care currently do not have the functionally, without the need for manual audit, to implement the NRAD recommendations, starting with the identification of patients at risk.
This audit demonstrated, within one CCG, the feasibility of identifying patients at risk of preventable asthma attacks in 50 general practices caring for nearly 30,000 people with asthma, and the considerable variation in care of patients.

Our work appeared in the NHS White Paper, Respiratory Medicine (GIRFT Report), as a case study on page 65.
The NSHI Respiratory Audit Tool; designed by NSHI and hosted by OPEN VIE (OPEN Health) is not routinely available in Practice.
All the data relating to the respiratory patients care and current health status, currently exists within the practice records. The NSHI Respiratory Audit Tool (MIQUEST/SNOMED) is used to run queries through the clinical reporting functionality of the GP Operating system to identify patients who fulfil a list of respiratory criteria in line with national guidelines.
All data flows remain within the NHS NET HSCN environment, between the GP Clinical System and the HSCN. Such access to the GP Clinical System is time limited and fully auditable.
A full therapeutic review for each identified patient can be conducted, using the NSHI MIQUEST/SNOMED based audit application, resulting in the identification of specific patients who are most likely to benefit from a review.
This enables the Health Care Professional to optimise the patients care/treatment, in line with local and/or national guidelines, resulting in improved health outcomes for the individual.
