Demand & capacity modelling

  • Capacity needed to meet the demand for your service & type of services
  • Appropriate size for your waiting list in order to see patients in a timely manner
  • The APEX Capacity Planning module allows each organisation to choose a baseline period (any one week period from the last six years) as well as allowing for adjustments to be made (either by inclusion/exclusion of unbooked slots in the baseline period, population growth – automatically calculated over time – or entered as a static figure or by application a percentage change in demand). This allows APEX to then present a full breakdown of the capacity required to meet demand based on the selections against the particular Primary Care services and the details include; appointment availability, distribution (by slots, sessions and time), Mode of Contact and individual clinician rota analysis, with the ability to plan up to six months in advance.

Payments & expenditure

  • The APEX Submissions Module allows data to be submitted to commissioners or PCNs based on either appointment data (ideal for Extended and Improved Access schemes) or coded definitions (ideal for the PCN DES/LES and local Quality Contract Submissions) with the ability to automate the submission process, including all payment details and the ability to extract an invoice for payment.
