The Hidden Cost of Unnecessary A&E Visits
The NHS is under immense pressure to improve patient flow, reduce ambulance handover delays, and enhance emergency department (ED) efficiency. A large portion of A&E visits are preventable, often driven by fear, uncertainty, or lack of immediate support. While NHS Trusts invest in optimizing triage and patient streaming, a simple, cost-effective solution exists that directly addresses these challenges—My SOS Family. By empowering individuals and families to manage situations effectively, My SOS Family reduces unnecessary NHS usage, improves efficiency, and enhances patient care.
Keeping Patients Out of A&E Unless Absolutely Necessary
Many emergency department visits result from non-urgent concerns that could be resolved with timely intervention from family or community responders. Without alternatives, people often resort to 999 or an A&E visit. My SOS Family changes this dynamic by offering an instant, automated alert system that mobilizes trusted contacts before escalating to emergency services. This ensures that only genuine emergencies reach A&E, alleviating the strain on NHS resources and reducing overcrowding.
Transforming Patient Flow & Supporting NHS Performance Targets
The NHS has set ambitious targets to improve patient streaming and triage times, yet uncertainty often leads patients to seek unnecessary hospital care. My SOS Family provides an essential safety net, allowing individuals to reach their support network for reassurance and guidance before deciding to visit A&E. This proactive approach aligns with NHS transformation efforts by diverting avoidable cases away from EDs, ultimately contributing to better 4-hour performance metrics and optimized patient flow.
A Smarter Way to Handle Mental Health & Paediatric Cases
Mental health-related A&E visits, particularly for young people, often result in prolonged stays due to a lack of alternative options. NHS Trusts are investing in dedicated spaces for mental health patients, but My SOS Family offers a complementary solution. By enabling immediate contact with trusted individuals, the app provides critical support before an unnecessary ED visit occurs. This ensures that those in crisis receive timely help while preventing disruptions in emergency departments that lead to inefficiencies in care delivery.
The Cost-Effective Alternative to Expensive Call Centers
Many traditional monitoring services introduce unnecessary delays and costs due to intermediaries managing calls. My SOS Family removes this friction by connecting users directly with their support network, ensuring faster response times without requiring NHS-funded monitoring resources. This scalable, low-cost alternative aligns with NHS cost-efficiency goals by reducing reliance on expensive infrastructure while maintaining high levels of patient safety and security.
Reducing Ambulance Callouts and Handover Delays
Ambulance handover delays remain a critical issue for NHS Trusts, often caused by avoidable callouts that could have been managed differently. My SOS Family helps address this by providing a structured escalation pathway that prioritizes personal responders before emergency services. This prevents unnecessary 999 calls, keeps ambulances available for genuine emergencies, and directly supports NHS initiatives to reduce wait times and improve resource allocation.
Enabling a Digital-First, Patient-Centric NHS
As NHS Trusts embrace digital transformation, My SOS Family perfectly aligns with this vision. The app empowers users by offering an intuitive, tech-driven solution that enhances independence while reducing unnecessary interactions with healthcare services. Whether supporting elderly individuals, lone workers, or those with complex care needs, My SOS Family is a practical, digital-first approach to personal safety that supports NHS objectives.
The Future of Smarter, Cost-Effective Emergency Support
NHS transformation is centered around efficiency, better resource management, and improved patient outcomes. My SOS Family directly supports these priorities by minimizing unnecessary A&E visits, streamlining patient flow, and reducing ambulance dependency—all while delivering significant cost savings. Affordable, easy to implement, and seamlessly aligned with NHS goals, My SOS Family is the practical, scalable solution that transforms the way individuals and healthcare systems manage emergency situations.
