Care communications app: coordinating care teams and patients

Care for people with long term and complex conditions depends on clear communication, shared information and joined up support. A dedicated care communications app brings patients, clinicians and support teams into one connected space, so everyone can see what is happening and what needs to happen next.

Our patient care apps are designed for UK health services that want to improve contact between teams, reduce confusion for patients and support safer, more proactive care.

Greater clarity

Improved coordination

Reduced anxiety

What is a care communications app

A care communications app is a digital hub where care teams can share updates, resources and next steps. It connects messages, self management tools and clinical information in one place, rather than across leaflets, phone calls and scattered emails.

Built as a specialist care management app, our solution helps services move away from fragmented contact and towards a single, consistent experience that patients can rely on. By using a care management app that is easy to access on mobile, you make it simpler for people to stay engaged with their care plan.

Supporting long term and chronic conditions

Patients living with long term conditions often see multiple professionals and services. They may attend hospital clinics, community appointments and primary care reviews, and it can be difficult to know who is doing what and when.

Our apps act as a practical form of chronic care management software, giving patients a clear place to see information that matters to them. At the same time, teams benefit from a chronic care management platform that supports consistent messaging and self management resources.

With the right chronic care management software, you can reduce duplication, support shared decision making and create a more joined up experience for people living with complex needs. The chronic care management platform becomes the shared reference point for both staff and patients.

A patient centred care management system

Behind the patient facing experience, our apps function as flexible care management system software. Services can configure content, journeys and tools to match their pathways, rather than forcing teams to work around rigid technology.

Using the care management system software, you can:

Organise information by condition, pathway or service
Provide tailored content for different patient groups
Share structured guidance before, during and after appointments

This gives you the control of a powerful health care management software solution while keeping the front end simple and reassuring for patients. Administrators can update content quickly, so your health care management software always reflects current practice.

Patient care apps that support everyday self management

Our solution is built as patient care management software that patients can use between appointments, not just on clinic days. It offers:

Clear explanations of tests, treatments and next steps
Symptom and wellbeing information in plain language
Links to trusted resources, support services and FAQs

By providing accessible patient care management software, you help people prepare for appointments, understand what has been agreed and feel more confident in managing their condition.

Fantastic service as usual - notice up on website within 13 minutes of email being sent!

I cannot speak more highly of this company and thank them enough for the support that they provide to us. They make my job that little bit easier by taking away from me jobs giving me back time. They are so quick to action any requests. What a wonderful team and service thank you all.

Always prompt and efficient Helpdesk support - very impressive as always.

We are very happy with our website! The Silicon Practice team is excellent at responding and very helpful. Our website is easy to navigate, and Silicon Practice is constantly reviewing and updating as appropriate. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company.

Superb and very quick service for a few changes I wanted to make to our website - delighted.

Having worked with Silicon Practice for many years, I have found them to be extremely supportive in the management of our website.

I have worked in primary care for nearly 30 years and this is by far the best website supplier I have used. Firstly it was very easy to set up, the system is flexible for your own use. The team are very responsive to requests and most importantly are compliant with all regulation and standards. With general practice becoming ever more complex, it's one area I can have confidence in and easily manage.
