What are Community Diagnostic Centres?

Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) are key to transforming current models of care delivery by providing access to “right first time” diagnostics and treatment services, closer to patient's homes.

In order to meet rising demand for diagnostic services, the NHS have outlined their vision to increase diagnostic capacity to drive early disease diagnosis and enable access to the latest medical technologies, efficient workflows and robust informatics tools.

The scope for CDC is broad. Philips vision is that these centres will specialise in providing services that meet cardiovascular, fitness, wellness and health themes across Radiology, Cardiology, Oncology, Respiratory and Sleep health spaces. With a continuing need to focus on the wider health needs of our population, we also envisage the expansion of CDC with further NHS–commissioned specialist services. The focus would be to support the elderly and patients with underlying health conditions by improving access to expert health services whilst reducing travel. This could encompass general practice, pharmacy and tele-dentistry services.

Uptake Room / Phlebotomy – from Ambient Experience to better outcomes

For patients scheduled for cancer imaging, the anticipation of a diagnosis can be intensely stressful. CDC help by providing these tests in a familiar setting, closer to home.

Philips Ambient Experience uptake room solutions reduce anxiety by helping patients remain calm during uptake procedures. Patients retain an element of control which translates into patient satisfaction that can become a differentiating factor for any healthcare provider.

The Ambient Experience rooms have a wide range additional applications, from chemotherapy to phlebotomy.

Magnetic Resonance (MRI) – reducing waiting times

Waiting times can be a source of frustration for patients. Philips MR solutions connect data, technology and people to reduce waiting times in key areas.

With Philips revolutionary BlueSeal technology, your scanner operates with just seven litres of Helium in a fully sealed magnet. No more Helium fills, no more quench pipe. Greater flexibility in locating your MR system in a wide range of CDC locations, whether in a retail space or high-rise building.

Philips Compressed SENSE™ reduces scan times by up to 50% across all anatomies¹. The result is increased productivity and diagnostic confidence, leading to reduced patient waiting times.

Computed Tomography (CT) - delivering "right place, first time" care

With the continuing pressure on outpatient diagnostic demand, patients are waiting longer for hospital appointments when they could be seen in the community. CT in the community has a wide range of clinical applications, from stroke to cardiac pathways, from cancer to respiratory conditions.

Philips CT technologies and integrated information system solutions drive exceptional clinical performance and superb image quality. This improves the information flow to clinicians, ensuring that when patients are referred for follow up, they see the right person in the right place, first time.

Command Centres – expertise when and where it's needed

The current NHS staffing shortfall presents a major risk to the delivery of the NHS Long Term Plan and current workforce shortages are predicted to rise for at least the next 10 years.

How can Philips help ensure that patients in Community settings receive the same high levels of care as in the hospital?

Philips Remote Operational Command Centre (ROCC)* is a new technology that allows expert staff to work in a virtual manner, across a multi-site, multi-vendor imaging network. Expert staff can work remotely and deliver the highest standards to patient care to out-of-hospital settings.
