Definition Connect surgical consultations

Definition Connect – bridging the gap between community care and hospital support

Definition Connect (formerly Secure Virtual Clinic (SVC)) is a secure file sharing and digital video consultancy system which streamlines pre-and post-surgical consultations, ongoing patient recovery and patient discharge.

Streamlined information sharing improves patient care and reduces patient footfall and paperwork, enabling hospitals to realise their sustainability goals and facilitate remote working.

When delivered as part of Definition Health’s end-to-end total surgical solution, it enables swift consultation and provides a central medical file for all patient information.

“I wanted to streamline the patient experience. To stop them coming into hospital unnecessarily, we had to think more efficiently. I found a note about LifeBox in my in-tray and it was as if by magic here was the answer.”

“It’s a complete record that helps me to have an anaesthetic plan ahead of the operation. I can check if a patient is frail and can recommend post-operative care such as HDU or ITU. It helps me to reduce cancellations on the day of surgery and to tailor the anaesthetic technique to the patient’s needs.”
