End-to-End Transformation of your Wheelchair Service

ELMS2 is a powerful software solution that supports the efficient running of Wheelchair Services, either on an integrated or stand-alone basis. The system is easily scalable to suit the requirements of all services, and active User Groups ensure that ELMS2 remains relevant and compliant with current legislation and industry expectations. Strategically, the system is well placed, with support for paperless working, RTT Reporting, CIDS, and NHS eRS (Choose and Book).

ELMS2 is tried, tested, and in use by services across the UK, and as the system advances, our development team ensures that it continues to provide all relevant legislative and performance indicator information as a by-product of normal use.

What else can ELMS2 do?

Using the latest version of ELMS2, practitioners can manage the triage of referrals into their service, manage clinics and waiting lists, and schedule new appointments and follow-ups using the powerful multi-resource Appointment module.

ELMS2 is a patient-centric system, and maintains a history of all activity and contact with patients, together with a comprehensive set of demographics that can support a full Electronic Patient Record (EPR). Assessment, clinical, and staff activity data can be collated in accordance with local practice. Assessment forms within ELMS2 can be created by users, a capability empowering clinicians to control data collection, offering both financial and time savings when making changes over traditionally ‘hard coded' screens.

 

Clinical workflows are supported which closely mirror the working practice of its clinical users. This makes it easy for a clinician to intuitively progress through their daily caseload / clinic with ‘their view of the world', managing episodes of care and recording outcomes. These clinical modules have been based on the proven functionality of Ethitec's award winning Tiara9 system, which delivers an EPR and clinical information system for the Allied Health Professions.

The purchasing, management, distribution, and collection of stock are key components of ELMS2. Deliveries, services, handovers, visits, and repairs can all be scheduled and recorded. Stock and parts are tracked against multiple locations, and budget and asset information is recorded and accessible in real-time. Stock and delivery data can also be input into the system via barcodes with the ability to incorporate online and offline scanning.

External Approved Repairers are also catered for, and they can be given direct, controlled, access to ELMS2, or Ethitec can provide electronic links to their systems, helping you to monitor and manage their performance.
