Docman launches healthcare platform

Docman has launched its new cloud-based software platform Docman 10.

Docman 10 manages the transfer of care process between clinicians and healthcare organisations and has been built to support the future direction of the NHS, provide access from a web browser on any tablet or PC, enable federated working across primary care organisations, and collaborative working across healthcare teams.

Ric Thompson, managing director at Docman, said: “We started to design Docman 10 two years ago and are delighted to announce that the first GP practice is live.

“Docman 10 is set to revolutionise the way healthcare professionals manage the transfer of care within and between organisations.

“We have already had over 800 GP practices request the Docman 10 migration package and I’m really proud of what we have achieved so far, but I’m also really excited about the potential of what Docman 10 means for healthcare professionals in the future.”

He added: “We recognised two years ago the direction of travel for healthcare providers and the need for cross-organisational collaboration, discussions, communication, and the need to share information and data.

“We worked with our large customer base to develop this platform to meet the challenges and demands of a 21st-century health economy.”

Fran Kirke, commercial director, added: “There has been huge demand in the market place for the web-based platform with CCGs, GP practices and federations excited about the opportunities of having all organisations and their documents on a single platform.

“This includes across traditional boundaries of a GP practice, extended hours, shared care records, and new models of care.”

“We’re delighted to launch Docman 10 and extend the reach of Docman Hub to a greater number of healthcare organisations.”

Docman has also announced a development to Docman Hub to enable any healthcare provider to send clinical correspondence to thousands of GP practices across the country through a managed service.
