River|Health

Riverhealth delivers a cloud based service that seamlessly carries information and patients from activity to activity, from provider to provider, from clinician to clinician, start to finish.

Supporting all types of health providers as one - from primary care to hospitals to research to therapist to pharmacies. In essence it follows the patient wherever she or he is.

The only thing you need is a tablet.

From the first contact between a patient and the health services, all activities that touches him/her becomes a seamless flow where the clinician gets the task, the information and the tools at the right time.

Any type report or record will be created automatically by the activities themselves. All views are real time.

Participants will only see what he/she needs for ironclad privacy and most importantly, less clutter. Search is time consuming and thus a system failure - this system knows what you need at all times, so no need to search.

All information is in context - who, what, when. This adds total accountability and ease of understanding.

Key components for the developing economies version:

• Diagnosis and treatment templates along with specific paths for main ailments to increase success rates for less trained care personnel.
• Simpler onboarding of care workers and patients, highly portable patient records.

Please contact us at any time with any question!

• A process engine that automatically carries the information and tasks to the right people at the right time.
• Single Electronic Medical Record, automatically created by the activities.
• Embedded diagnosis libraries.
• Specific clinical pathways can be had.
• Diagnosis and treatment wizards/templates/checklists can be had as processes.
• Research interfaces that can be filtered in any manner for required privacy.
• All information and activities can be delivered/seen across all health services organisations. Even past a nation's border for travelling patients.
• Staff and patient functions from updating personal information, scheduling and communication to dinner menu requests can be had.
• Help and support group interface. Simple and logical step-by-step interfaces do not require training.
• Process management tool so pathways, procedures or views can be quickly changed with ease.
• Accounting can be included, generated automatically by the activities.
• Connection to hardware or other systems as long as they have an API.

Clinician and careworker benefits

• Instant access to and navigation of commonly used modern diagnosis libraries.
• Diagnosis templates and wizards for common ailments to ensure quality and ease of work.
• Easy to navigate medical records, automatically created in real time, accessible for any with the need.
• Simple and assured handovers between single care workers or between entities including scheduling processes.
• Freeing up significant time currently spent on administration and management for 
all participants. This again should lead to reduction in errors, increased capacity, reduced costs and a substantial increase in patient and clinical personnel satisfaction.
• Eliminating the need for document distribution, emails and other communication methods (including meetings).
• Fully mobile, access to information and work interface follows the clinician.
• Minimising time spent on communication with next of kin and being communication conduits between patients and services or other clinicians (see below).
• Low risk thanks to flexibility; changes or adding new ideas can be implemented without disruption.
• Privacy, security, scalability and speed at unprecedented levels.

Patient and next-of-kin benefits

• Personal interface that allows access to real time views of any information.This could include:
• Medical records, plans and upcoming activities, schedules and communication. Technically no limits, the transparency level has to be decided by the health services and/or local regulations and laws.
• Access to medical records when travelling including handover of edit and update rights to clinicians outside the normal user group (travelling abroad).
• Direct asynchronous patient-clinician communication that becomes part of the medical records.
• Edit and/or update interface for personal and contact details as well as personal and medical history.
• Rescheduling of appointments.
• Direct communication with staff and any support service (kitchen etc).
• Access to current case relevant information can be incorporated.
• Access can be allowed for next of kin and/or guardians/parents - either in full or separate subset of the above.

All value creation happens in a sequence of activities, in a flow. If more than one participant is involved then more and more time is spent on making the flow happen.

Hence all work consists of two components:

1. Actual value creation. Helping patients to better outcomes.
2. Moving the patient, information, and work forward. Flow work, not value creation.

Research shows that for knowledge workers only 1/3 of the time and effort is spent on actual value creation for the customer or patient, while the flow work or non-value creation consumes 2/3rd of work time.

Riverhealth is a flow framework that can eliminate all or most of the non-value creation flow work.

This would free 2/3rd of the resource use towards value creation, easily tripling the capacity for the same resources.

Translated to healthcare it would mean increasing time for patients and number of patients seen manyfold, saving of substantial resources, better outcomes and a dramatic reduction in the risk of errors.

The "efficiency phase" (how we do things) has been exhausted, there is not much more to be had, now's the time for the "effectiveness phase" (what things we do) so you can stop doing the non-value activities and rather spend that time on value creation - spending more time with the patients and seeing more patients.

There are two types of flows (or processes):

1. The predictable and Easily Repeatable Process (ERP)
2. The unpredictable and Barely Repeatable Process (BRP)

Healthcare is all BRP of course.

ERPs are a natural for IT, BRPs are counterintuitive and thus no other system are able to model, run, and handle BRPs.

We spent ten years in the laboratory to create an extremely effective, logical, intuitive and flexible platform upon which we can model and run any BRP.

It turned the usual approach upside down; it's not about organising results, it's all about the flow using a flow engine as the core which organises the activities, then captures the results for automatic records and report creation.

This allows us to give you a riverbed for your patient-, information-, and work-flows so you can focus on the patient work and deliver better outcomes for more patients.

But it does not stop there: Eliminating administration and duplicate work makes your day far more enjoyable and the potential errors that inevitably happens in manually driven flows (forgetting stuff, misunderstandings, slowness) are eliminated as well. This adds up to more than a tripling of healthcare capacity and quality without an increase in resource use.

We're a small group of highly experienced business and domain experts.

Among us we have started 11 companies, done 5 LBOs, advised in many M&As and run a multiple of these companies.

Before offering any product we spent more than ten years in the laboratory, creating a completely unique solution that eventually will increase your value creation manyfold, not by mere percentages.

We believe that there is only one proof for such a claim, and that can only be found in the product itself - so let us show you what it can do and how it works. You will be exited, as this is precisely what you've been waiting for.

More people need more healthcare.
Costs are unsustainable.
Error rates are unacceptable.

We have to increase productivity, but productivity comes in two flavours: efficiency i.e. "how we do things" and effectiveness i.e. "what things we do".

Today, healthcare does the same things as it has always done, but many years of investments have bettered "how we do things" to the point where no more gains can be achieved in this way.

Now's the time to challenge and change what things we do.

The good news is that clinicians, like most knowledge workers, spend about 2/3rd of their time making the patient and work flow move forward, i.e. on administration, duplicate work and communication.

If we could automate that flow-work then the healthcare productivity could triple.

RiverHealth is built precisely for that purpose. It's a patient-, information-, and workflow system that can free 2/3rd of the clinician's time to be spent on more patients and more time with each patient.

As it's a proper flow framework it will also ensure complete, seamless and unbroken flows that will further reduce errors.
