EMUk vs TriVice

Easy access to scoring systems relevant to UK emergency medicine practice. The key scoring systems at your finger-tips. Never again will you get half way through an AMT and forget the questions! Knowing the score is only half the answer! Where applicable, each scoring system is linked to relevant national guidance such as that from NICE. The user interface has been designed to be used at the point-of-care, keeping data entry to a minimum and alerting you as soon as you reach the threshold value of the decision rule. This now includes haptic feedback on supported devices. Conversions by default. Just because a rule needs your patient's weight in kilograms it doesn’t mean they will know it. Every height and weight field accepts imperial or metric values and converts them for you. The list of rules displayed can be edited so that you only see the rules you need and can display your most used items first. All hidden rules remain searchable in case you need them. See our website for a full list of included content or to suggest a rule for inclusion.

TriVice is a mobile app that can be downloaded from the App Store and is also available as a web-based desktop version. All acute referrals to specialities can be routed through the app. The app captures patient demographics, details of the injury and facilitates the upload of clinical photographs and images. The app processes the information provided, based on in-built clinical pathways and provides advice, which is then validated by the plastic surgical team. It enables real-time notification and communication with referring clinicians as well as integration into existing hospital systems such as Lorenzo. It is envisaged that the app will enhance communication between the referring Emergency Department clinician and the plastic surgery on-call team by making the referral process easier, smoother, seamless and with better documentation. The App can easily be configured to support various speciality pathways such as Plastics, Ophthalmology, Gastroenterology, Dermatology, Obs & Gyn, etc to improve referral and triaging processes and enhance patient care. TriVice has two separate interfaces- one for the Emergency Department clinicians who wish to refer patients to Plastic Surgery and the other for the on-call speciality surgical team who will receive these referrals. In order to use TriVice, the app must be downloaded from App Store and register as a user. Only those with valid NHS email addresses will be authorised to use the app. TriVice will streamline referral pathways and obviate the need to speak to the on-call speciality surgery team at the secondary care hospital for every referral unless an injury is serious or threatens limb or life. In most instances, TriVice will offer an action plan. The app has a built-in feature that enables the ED clinician to contact the on-call team directly, at the press of a button, where required. The information that is captured on the app will be incorporated into hospital clinical systems and be part of patient records.
