Its Diary Caseload Allocation automation has saved over 58 working days so far - granting and removing permissions where necessary to ensure secure access to patient information where needed. A clear demonstration of Evolve's capabilities on a corporate licence scale, this project was just one of many that actively gave time back to healthcare professionals, so they can focus more on the patient-centric work that really matters.
