Proactive Healthcare

Atos Healthcare is dedicated to supporting and promoting personal health management. When people are encouraged to take proactive responsibility for their own health and wellbeing, dependence on both inpatient and outpatient services can be significantly reduced – which brings benefits to everyone who delivers and needs NHS services.

We offer a number of services aimed at encouraging illness prevention and health promotion, including:

Condition management

We promote innovative solutions that empower patients to manage their health condition at home whilst giving healthcare professionals the opportunity to remotely monitor and prescribe for a condition, providing far more cost-effective long-term management.

For example, a GP can prescribe a bespoke mobile phone that is set up with "safe range" data relating to a patient's condition. The patient enters their data which is automatically read by monitoring software at the patient's hospital. If data received by the hospital is outside the safe range, the software alerts hospital staff.

Wellbeing and screening

Our Wellbeing services target illness prevention, early detection and lifestyle improvement. They include a range of health screening services using evidence-based guidelines from "Know Your Numbers", an interactive programme based on key numeric health measures which offers individually tailored health advice following health screening. Our screening services can also be tailored to meet the requirements of specified patient populations.

Health at work

We offer Health Promotion events for employees at their place of work to spread the message of proactive health. We also tackle contemporary health issues such as stress related illness. Our Employee Assistance Programme provides support for employees who seek confidential help and advice on health and life issues along with a self-referral system for counselling.

For both employers and employees we provide efficient and sensitive illness management and rehabilitation programmes to minimise the costs and distress caused by sickness absence.
