Streamlining services through digital self-assessment
Duodecim Symptom Checkers
The Duodecim Symptom Checkers has been created to streamline the work of healthcare professionals and organizations. With this service, patients can fill out a digital symptom check themselves, which healthcare professionals can use to decide if treatment is needed and how urgent it is.
Symptom Checkers help professionals prioritize patients and focus on the most urgent needs. Non-critical patients can be treated digitally or referred to self-care. This allows the organization’s resources to be allocated as efficiently as possible.
From the patient’s perspective, Symptom Checkers lowers the threshold for seeking information. When reliable information is readily available, patients can act proactively and strengthen their involvement in promoting their own health.
This is how Duodecim Symptom Checkers helps professionals and organizations:
Targeting treatment effectively
Knowledge-based assessment of the need for care and its urgency helps streamline services: the right care for the right patients at the right time.
Cost savings through optimization of care pathways
The service provider can achieve cost savings when some patients can be referred to digital care channels or self-care based on the conclusions of symptom assessments.
Time savings with standardized information
Symptom Checkers provides structured and professionally relevant information: this ensures that information is communicated correctly and improves treatment in practice.
Preventive approach
The service helps with preventive care and saves costs over time, as patients are better able to assess their own symptoms through the digital service.
