CCube Solutions has launched an independent document sharing platform to support providers and health professionals access information during the coronavirus pandemic.
Providing a secure cloud-based platform that is accessible from any device, the company says the platform will provide time limited access to documents in a digital environment, removing the need to move physical paper which can lead to 12-18 contacts and handovers in some organisations.
Available for three months at no cost, tTe service is built in the cloud, meaning that documents can be uploaded, shared and viewed to support remote clinics and online consultations. The service will also support GP to GP, Trust/GP to patient and sharing between services. At the end of the three-month period, an organisation can download the documents directly.
Vijay Magon, CEO at CCube Solutions, said: “We have launched this service for free so we can help where we can. It’s important that information is available to who needs it and that we reduce contact points and handovers between people wherever possible. The new service supports those who are remote working and transferring pathways to digital.”
“This is a time-limited scanning and hosting service to ensure important information is available where it needs to be. We are working with a number of scanning solution providers, to enable collection, preparation and scanning to the hosted platform for those documents that are needed.”
