Your pathways, in every clinician's pocket.
Virtual Bones starts from a complete library used and tested at West Suffolk, in line with national guidelines. Your clinical leads make it yours, your team keeps it current, and your department uses it from the first shift.
Three parts, one set of content.
For every clinician
Injuries, kit, leaflets, documentation and learning on iPhone and Android, for the bedside and the corridor.
For every department computer
The same content in the browser, with the documentation templates at full size. Limited to your hospital network.
For your team
Edit any page, see what is used, read staff feedback, and check every change in the activity log.
Tailored to your department, down to the bleep number.
Everything clinicians see belongs to your hospital, and your admins can change it in minutes.
Your pathways
Referral criteria and routes, management and follow-up, the way your trust does it.
Your kit and where it lives
Every sling, splint and cast, with a photograph of the shelf and your own how-to videos.
Your contacts and leaflets
The on-call bleep, the clinic numbers, and the leaflets your department gives.
See what is used
Analytics across the app and the webapp, and the searches that found nothing.
Hear from your staff
A feedback button on every screen, straight to your team.
Every change recorded
Who changed what, when, and the text it replaced.
Four steps, shared between us.
Typically about three months from demo to go-live. Getting the service ready for your digital review takes about three weeks of that.
Award-winning, nationally and in the region.
Published, and ready for your review.
44 minutes less in the ED, and incomplete referrals nearly halved
Quality improvement study at West Suffolk Hospital. Pilot May to July 2023; 260 patients before and 258 after Virtual Bones was introduced.
DTAC AND DCB0129Built to pass your digital and clinical safety review
The DTAC is completed, and the clinical safety case is available on request.
What trusts usually ask.
Does Virtual Bones replace our guidelines?
No. It presents your hospital's own pathways and guidance where clinicians need them. Your clinical leads review and own the content.
Who writes the content?
Your hospital starts from a library used and tested at West Suffolk, in line with national guidelines. Your team then localises it and keeps it current in the console, and every change is recorded.
Does it store patient data?
The documentation template asks for no patient identifiers, and a phone-to-computer code is erased from the server when it is used. Accounts hold the clinician's name, NHS email and hospital.
Does it need to connect to our electronic patient record?
No integration is needed. The finished note is copied and pasted into any electronic patient record.
Which devices does it run on?
iPhone and Android for clinicians, any browser on a department computer, and the console for your team.
How do we show it is safe?
The DTAC is completed, and clinical risk is managed under DCB0129 with a clinical safety case available to support your own DCB0160 work.
