About Klinik’s features and benefits

Klinik is an AI triage and patient flow management software that directs patients to the right point of care in a timely, cost-effective way. Klinik is not only able to help GP practices provide improved access to healthcare, but can also help to redefine and reform how patient flow is managed.

Our medical AI engine seamlessly integrates into existing healthcare processes. It can identify a primary health issue, recognise its urgency and direct the patient to the right point of care in a timely, cost-effective way. It also provides important background information for healthcare professionals and enables proactive interaction with the patient immediately.

Klinik saves time and enables GP practices to reallocate resources that might be redeployed to support increased appointment duration for highest-need patients or complex cases. Its customisable workflows can be changed to reflect the skill mix within a practice, network and wider healthcare ecosystem; some are even using Klinik as the foundation for nurse-led triage.

Our telephone triage module Klinik Connect helps to turn your care navigators into skilled triage resources, enabling you to take 100% of the incoming enquiries through the medical algorithm, supporting consistent data collection and providing a lot more information for the duty team than they would have before having this solution.

Klinik is:

  • User-friendly - With intuitive questions and a simple symptom cloud, patients can provide the right information for the most effective triage experience The simple to use symptom cloud and straightforward forms.
  • An efficient way to redirect patients to the right point of care - Clinically-supervised AI and customisable patient flow tools redirect patients to the right type of care.
  • The foundation for an intelligent healthcare network - Physios, pharmacists or other health and care professionals become an integral part of the care resources available.
  • Designed with safety in mind - Cases are prioritised according to need and urgency, and the software is DCB0129-compliant and CE-registered.
  • Popular - Hundreds of practices across the UK and Ireland are using our AI triage and patient flow solution to help meet the rising demand for primary care.

Klinik in action at Priory Medical Group PCN

  • With refreshed processes and Klinik's AI triage and patient flow technology in place, Priory Medical Group is providing 8,000 more patient contacts than the year previously, using the same level of clinical resources.
  • In just over two months, the prioryCARE system, powered by Klinik, has registered and completed over 43,000 contacts across our nine surgery sites, with online use accounting for over 70% of all contacts.
  • Patient and staff satisfaction remains high; a recent staff survey showed an 87% rating of good or excellent for Klinik.

Priory’s Executive Partner Dr Emma Broughton is impressed by how Klinik helps with her clinical workflow. “I am able to book those who need clinical examination as well as supporting and providing advice digitally, by phone, by video when a well-structured digital tool gathers all the clinical information needed.

“Patients have been astounded at the speed of response for their urgent conditions. Our system enables us to respond within 30 minutes of a submission for minor ailments, using the information gathered by our digital platform."

The system has enabled the group, which serves almost 60,000 patients, to efficiently serve and understand the needs of its local populations.

“Patients can get to the right clinician or the right team (if it is a non-clinical team) at the first point of contact, which has created huge efficiencies in the system,” said Martin Eades, Managing Partner.

“By using the AI in a consistent total triage system, we get real data showing us when and where patients are contacting us, issues, clinical or non-clinical, to shape both our clinical and workforce teams.”

What do other GPs their staff and their patients think about Klinik?

"With Klinik, we can now get the correct patient to the correct point of care in the most efficient way," says Dr Thomas Patel-Campbell, GP Partner and CCIO of Haxby Group.

The data it creates is also providing a big difference. "We have much accurate information on the time and volume of demand. We know how much resource we need at particular times of day, and we can see what type of care people need."

Harrow Health GP Federation’s Dr Kanesh Rajani welcomes the versatility of the system: “Every patient contact can be triaged by the Klinik AI system. This means that every problem is triaged effectively, and the right person provides the right care to the patient at the right time.

“The beauty of the system is that it can adapt to the needs of the GP, the local practice and the patient […]. The GP can agree or modify the decision and redirect the patient to the right care provider.”

This means that additional roles can quickly become part of the practice workflow. Dr Adam Ellery, GP partner and Chairman of Kernow Health CIC said: "Our staff have thoroughly enjoyed utilising Klinik - especially the navigators, who can navigate the calls to a physiotherapist, community nurse practitioners, social prescribers, community pharmacist and more, which has helped reduce stress.”

This is founded on the system’s good patient history taking. "The introduction of Klinik has been a game-changer for us,” says Dr Peter Devlin, GP Partner at Benfield Valley Health Hub.

“What has been most striking has been the quality of information that patients submit their online request, often not just giving a comprehensive history of their presenting condition, but also indicating what matters to the most.”

As a result, the right resource can be applied in the right way. “Now we know what the demand is, we can see what changes need to be made, and we can manage expectations and optimise the journey for every patient,” says Trupti Chauhan, operations manager at Roxbourne Medical Centre.

“We can assign the right level of resources to deal with the enquiry, and the most expensive resource where it's most effective."

Patients also welcome the service. It is ‘very easy to use’ and ‘seems a very logical way of getting the right level of care that you require’. It’s a ‘great service [and] saves a load of time’.

Patient satisfaction is regularly at or over 90% for Klinik. It means patients get seen by the right person quicker, which is better for the practice and the individual.

Trupti Chauhan, Operations Manager
Roxbourne Medical Centre
"Now we know what the demand is, we can see what changes need to be made, and we can manage expectation and optimise the journey for every patient. We can assign the right level of resources to deal with the enquiry, and use the most expensive resource where it’s most effective."
Trupti Chauhan, Operations Manager
Roxbourne Medical Centre
“Feedback from other practices using the system was very positive, especially how responsive the company was to people’s needs.”
Dr Michael Curran, GP partner
Church Street Medical Centre
“For any other practice I would say this would make a valuable addition to the practice. In the current environment, it is becoming essential to have an efficient triage service that can assess risk and identify urgency, so that care can be given according to need, rather than demand. I would strongly recommend this to any GP practice.”
