How we help

We created Atlas to help healthcare organisations work with patients from end-to-end, address healthcare issues together, create real momentum and achieve the right outcomes for everyone.

We do this by:

Building knowledge, understanding and readiness within teams

Co-designing at pace

Evidencing impact and driving uptake of patient-oriented activities

We believe this could make a difference in respiratory

Five respiratory diseases are among the most common causes of severe illness and death worldwide. Cases of asthma have been on the rise for the last 30 years.

Improving outcomes requires a combination of medical, behavioural, social and policy interventions. With such complexity, how do you spot and validate opportunities? Where do you even start?

In this situation, our Find and Co-design services are key. For example, if you were exploring how the move to remote consultations across primary care is impacting asthma management, Atlas would work with patients and you to:

Validate the shift
Understand how it affects: symptom reporting; SABA risk; asthma reviews; pharmacy input; the physical space
Develop interventions to support patient empowerment in the remote consultation context
Determine how to collect and communicate data to inform service/policy design
Create a blue-print for roll-out

Find

Your organisation has committed to patient centricity and you need to understand your patient’s world

Align

You need to prove the value of patient centricity for your organisation

Co-design

You need to create the right product or services for patients that address their needs, wants and behaviours

Chart

You need to drive uptake of patient-centric products and services in the marketplace - but not everyone sees their value

Advance

You want to assess the state of patient centricity in your organisation

Impact

Here’s just one example from our recent work.

With patients at the heart of the programme, we transformed an outpatient service in a disease area that had shifted from acute to chronic. We saw promising outcome signals at pilot stage:

Patient satisfaction

91%

By redesigning a patient service

Reduction in staff costs

32%

By introducing new clinical roles

Quality improvement

60%

By taking a new consultation approach

Why Us

What we do:

Go direct to patients to find out what they need and want
Match this with our knowledge of healthcare, social science and your business
Creates strategies, products, resources and programmes that improve outcomes – for patients, the healthcare service and your business

First steps to improving outcomes together

This remote consultation example provides food for thought but the starting point for patient centricity is to hear from you about your organisation.

If you’re interested in discussing your situation and how we can co-design improvements or to hear about our case studies in more depth, please get back in touch with Sarah Horne:
