Enables Patients/Service Users to access support from Health and Care Professionals, across a range of settings, without the need for a face to face encounter.
How this capability was met
Capabilities are a set of requirements that are defined using short descriptions called epics. Capabilities are achieved when a Catalogue Solution meets the required epics.
There are two types of epic: must and may. Some capabilities require the Catalogue Solution to meet all of the must epics, some require only one must epic to be met. May epics are optional.

Implementation timescales
These are the typical processes and timescales to implement this Catalogue Solution:
• Upon signature of a contract between Push Doctor and the surgery/PCN/CCG, Push Doctor will begin the process of mobilising the Push Access service
• Initially this will involve a video call with the practice staff and clinicians to introduce the service and provide a demonstration of the service (inclusive of both doctor and patient view points)
• This will then be followed up with a guidebook for the staff to use in future being distributed
• Surgery set up will be conducted at Push Doctor
• Above process can be conducted in 3-5 days from the contract being signed

Roadmap
These are the supplier’s development plans for this Catalogue Solution:
Push Dr formally closed its doors to private patients in Jan 2020 to focus purely on helping the NHS deliver against commitments outlined in the NHS Long Term Plan.
Our product roadmap is focused on providing a ‘standalone’ remote consultation platform (encompassing asynchronous messaging, chat & video) that integrates with core NHS systems
We have integrated with:
• Spine Personal Demographic Service to enable us to find a Patient NHS Number and Practice information
• GP Connect ‘HTML View Record’
• Imminent launch of GP Connect ‘Send Document’
• Final stages of NHS Login integration, GP Connect Appointment Booking and Electronic Prescribing Service (EPS) build.
