We created CoRe Infomatics in response to the unprecedented backlog of elective surgery in the NHS following the pandemic, with the intention of re-launching our successful patient resource management company. We designed pathways to optimise the resources of both the NHS and IS to aid in the effort of clearing the waiting list backlog.

We designed pathways to optimise the resources of both the NHS and IS to aid in the effort of clearing the waiting list backlog. Our concept was leveraged with a cloud-based CoRe (contract and referral) system to provide quality, real-time patient management with infinite scalability, however, due to the economic climate and incredible pressures in the NHS, such changes are not a priority at this time, regardless of value. This project is on hold. Show less
