The commissioner wanted to make better use of local services in the community to reduce the pressure and offer a better choice to patients.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Solution<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Vantage worked with local dentists, hospital consultants and commissioners to agree referral guidelines (known as pathways). The guidelines were added to the <a href=\"https:\/\/vantage.health.necweb1-realityhouse.temporarywebsiteaddress.com\/technology\/\">Dental Electronic Referral Service<\/a> (DERS) software. DERS was then made available to all referring dentists, and linked to their practice software to avoid duplicating patient information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentists were only asked pertinent questions so as not to waste their time. This information together with the details from their patient record and information from <a href=\"https:\/\/vantage.health.necweb1-realityhouse.temporarywebsiteaddress.com\/rego-for-medicine-2\/\">NHS<\/a> central records were used to give the referrer an appropriate choice of service. This list included the distances from the patient\u2019s home and estimated waiting times. Once a choice was made the referral was sent directly to the chosen provider to book an appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Results<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Demand for hospital service reduced by 1\/3rd within 3 months of the service going live. These patients are now being treated in the community often much sooner that a hospital appointment. Utilisation by referring dentists is close to 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DERS has since been commissioned for the entire region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vantage worked with local dentists, hospital consultants and commissioners to agree referral guidelines (known as pathways).
