A digital-first approach
Taking a digital-first approach, the PDH platform was deployed to deliver an online booking system covering 12 CCGs, now two ICSs, in south London under the Diabetes Book & Learn brand – also created by PDH.
Pulling data from the patient record at the point of referral and making it available to the education course providers, patients are able to book and attend any course of their choice safe in the knowledge that their data is secure and ready for the provider when they start their course.
And course providers are able to create, edit and manage their own courses through the platform from start to finish.
