UltraGenda is an enterprise scheduling software that enables hospitals to manage scheduling processes across entire healthcare communities.
DXC's UltraGenda is a suite of generic, web-native applications that focus on key planning processes in the healthcare ecosystem. The solution allows hospitals to meet the important challenges of today, while boosting efficiency and improving customer service.
UltraGenda enables medical and administrative staff to quickly schedule complex combinations of patients, clinicians and resources across the healthcare ecosystem. The application suite streamlines the handling of MDT appointments, appointment sets, rescheduling and multi-resource bookings to just a few simple steps.
Quite simply, we think UltraGenda is the best scheduling system available. It is easy to set up and use, and across almost all areas, we are able to harness UltraGenda’s capabilities to weed out manual processes, saving time and reducing the potential for error.
A tracking module follows the evolution of appointments, interventions or day hospitalizations, while a bed management module helps users optimize bed occupation. In addition, healthcare managers have access to a performance-related overview of facilities and equipment, among other statistics, allowing them to manage capacity more effectively, while reducing wait times and crowding.
Key Features
- One Stop Shop: UltraGenda handles booking and rescheduling across all downstream systems.
- Easy to Integrate: With open application programming interfaces, HL7 standards, Web services and an invocation mechanism, UltraGenda is easy to install and doesn’t require high integration costs or time commitments. The system can “flex” over time without presenting integration challenges.
- Multi-Resource Scheduling: Users can manage staff, equipment and rooms in a single system. The solution shifts hospitals away from a patient administration system, which presumes a location.
- Dashboards: Users receive visual overviews and real-time reporting of capacity and performance.
- Referral and Decision Support: Electronic referrals can expand beyond a single organization. Along with built-in decision support, this feature increases speed of care delivery and prevents inappropriate referrals.
- Patient Portal: Patients are engaged in booking, confirming and cancelling appointments, which increases attendance rates and improves patient experience. The patient portal can be accessed online and via a mobile application.
- Easy Deployment: Quick, flexible and easy to deploy, UltraGenda is implemented in a phased approach, without disruption or high project costs.
Key Benefits
- Better Patient Experience: Patients have shorter wait times, can better manage their bookings and experience less wasted time. General physicians can refer or book appointments for patients and make arrangements for care across the ecosystem.
- Better Care: Decision trees increase referral accuracy. As resources are better managed, the referral-to-treatment time goes down.
- Improved Efficiency: The solution reduces Did Not Attend rates, optimizes occupancy and maximizes reimbursable activity. At the same time, it reduces the administrative time required to schedule, confirm and reschedule appointments
- Effective Resource Use: With UltraGenda, users can manage staff, equipment and facilities to ensure optimum and balanced use. The right resources can be scheduled with each booking, ensuring effective allocation.
