About
Providing healthcare is a team sport: one patient, shared between and cared for by many individuals, teams, departments and facilities, handed over between shifts, specialties, referrals, outpatient, community and home.
Vital information is lost in this complexity of communication, done mainly through informal or insecure, paper based and verbal messaging, as it is not handled well in real time by hospital information and patient record systems. This creates risk, and harm to patients and staff because tasks get missed, delayed or done incorrectly, primarily due to errors in communication.
CAREFUL is an app, on mobile or any device that enhances and integrates with existing information systems. It enables key, actionable next steps to be shared in real time: allowing collaboration on critical tasks between many stakeholders. CAREFUL answers the three critical questions needed at every step of the patient journey – what’s happening now, what’s happening next and who is responsible.
CAREFUL has been created by clinicians and technologists with deep global industry experience: 16 team members are located in and cover partnerships in the UK, Ireland, GCC, India, ASEAN and Australia. CAREFUL enables seamless coordination, shared visibility and clear accountability. For safe and efficient continuity of care.
