MyEndo Pre-Procedure Assessment
This page was last updated: August 4th, 2022
We’re excited to announce that our Trust’s Gastroenterology service is using a new digital pre-procedure assessment application by Ultramed called MyEndo. MyEndo allows patients to fill in an assessment at home before their procedure. The Trust expects the following benefits by implementing this:
- An improved experience for patients by allowing them to complete their pre-procedure assessment remotely and avoiding face-to-face and telephone appointments for up to 50% of patients.
- The ability to allow the patient to provide clinical health information remotely which enables clinical review and patient optimisation before attending for the procedure.
- Be able to provide more information about the procedure they are going to have before they attend it.
- Saving time for clinical and administrative teams by minimising the need for appointments and avoiding data collection.
- Reducing the chance of needing to cancel an endoscopy on the day and other delays.
- Reducing paper use and travel (and the associated carbon emissions); supporting the Trust’s commitment to achieving Net Zero (carbon neutral) by 2030.
Who are Ultramed?
Ultramed is a pioneering health technology company based in Cornwall, England, prioritising innovation and first-class patient experience. You can find out more about Ultramed on their website.
How does the process work?
When a patient is listed for an endoscopy procedure hospital staff add the patient’s details to the MyEndo system which then contacts the patient via SMS and/or e-mail.
MyEndo will ask patients questions about themselves, their health, and their procedure. Once completed, the healthcare information is sent directly to the patient’s hospital team.
The answers patients give to these questions are reviewed by RCHT clinicians to help the hospital to plan their care.
By completing MyEndo online, patients may not need to come to the hospital for a pre-procedure assessment. This reduces waiting times for patients and makes it easier for the hospital to plan their care.
