This report details the activity and outcomes of a series of design led workshops involving stakeholders of Cardiology services in the NHS Scotland. Participants came from 14 specialists’ areas and 6 different NHS Board areas, giving both a broad geographic and functional reach. The first step for the workshops was to identify common Cardiology patient symptoms, noting their importance. Issues were mapped for each symptom and areas to focus on agreed upon. Further discussion around these focus areas led to suggestions for sustainable improvement to Cardiology services. These ranged from supported patient-led follow-up to enhanced clinical triage. Future work will involve national support to ensure the Cardiology community, along with primary care partners are supported to make the necessary changes to ensure efficient and effective patient pathways are achieved. < Return to resources Scottish Access Collaborative Cardiology: Final Report Porteous, Alex and Blank, Line and Schauberger, Ute and Smith, Paul and Brooks, Elizabeth This report details the activity and outcomes of a series of design led workshops involving stakeholders of Cardiology services in the NHS Scotland.

This project expanded the National Notification Service (NSS) by adding a self-service contact tracing form, crucial to the COVID-19 response. It facilitated rapid data collection and improved accessibility for positive cases. < Return to projects COVID-19 Community Co-management (Co3) Project impact By August ‘21, the application accounted for 40% of all contacts traced, reducing pressure on contact tracing staff The App went through full simulation, development and governance Deployed across 11 Scottish Health Boards This project expanded the National Notification Service (NSS) by adding a self-service contact tracing form, crucial to the COVID-19 response. It facilitated rapid data collection and improved accessibility for positive cases. This project was a key part of the COVID-19 response and built on the functionality developed for the National Notification Service (NSS) to include a self-service contact tracing form to go out with each positive notification, allowing quick collection of data and enhancing the accessibility of the service. Summary The Co3 service project delivered: • Design workshops for Co3 • Service models developed • A Minimum Viable Product • Engagement with further stakeholders on how this tool could be deployed more widely • A prototype patient-facing tracing capability completed in June 2020 • Product enhancements for additional Health Board onboarding completed Nov 2020 • Live, implemented version of the tool completed by December 2020 • Live deployment across the whole of Scotland completed Impact & value The App was prototyped by the end of May 2020 in line with the original timetable. The App went through full simulation, development, governance and deployment across 11 Scottish Health Boards (as it was not applicable for island boards). As at 21st August 2020, it accounted for 40% of all contacts traced which reduced pressure on contact tracing staff. A full evaluation was conducted as to the effect and efficiency of the tool. A second version of the tool was developed with changes based on lessons learned during practice enhancing the triage support offered by self-service in case of future peaks. The project was completed and handed over to Scottish Government.
