She refers to Medic Bleep, a rival to Bleepa within the article but it is easy to see how Bleepa could just as easily be used across multiple healthcare networks.

She gives an example: Medic Bleep, a secure, real-time service – a healthcare ‘Whatsapp’, created to replace the old style, now out-of-date pagers, whilst remaining sensitive to security and privacy regulation. In the right hands of doctors, nurses, hospital managers and porters, Medic Bleep enables a efficient communication flow, of events and information as it happens. Results from a recent time-motion analysis revealed nurses saved an average of 21 minutes per shift whereas doctors saved an average of 48 minutes per shift – highly impactful when you think about what that equates to in a week, a month and a year. Furthermore, technologies like this can drive improved work prioritisation, easier collaboration, and through provision of an auditable record reduce errors and adverse incidents. Who would say no to safer and more efficient care delivery?
She envisions the Medic Bleep technology extending to emergency teams across multiple healthcare networks —not just a single hospital — and even onto social care “so that healthcare professionals can have a real-time view of health services and patients, who require care across the continuum, don’t have to worry about their results being transferred from doctor to social worker.’
‘We know Matt Han**** (the UK’s Secretary of State for Health and Social Care) has been really pushing the agenda to convert hospital pagers – and Medic Bleep provides a powerful solution, perpetuating real-time communication (and data flow) across health, and one day perhaps even social and emergency, care services.’
