    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.

      • Creating inspiring healthy spaces


        Health is influenced by many factors, including our working environment. At Philips, we partner with you to create "healthy spaces" that meet the goals of the quadruple aim: enhancing the patient experience, improving health outcomes, lowering the cost of care and improving the work life of care providers.
         

        Our CDC spaces are both inspiring and easy to access, led by evidence-based design.  The positive impact of this approach can be measured in terms of improved outcomes and the experience for patients and staff.
         

        We leverage our global expertise, tools and methodologies, to develop safe, quality, innovative facilities across Radiology, Cardiology, Oncology, Respiratory and Sleep health spaces, incorporating the latest technologies and immersive experience solutions.

      • 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.

      • Ultrasound – moving quickly from diagnosis to treatment


        Community-based direct access ultrasound services support GPs in progressing patients along their pathways to treatment as quickly as possible. CDC can also be configured to provide a "one-stop" approach to investigation, diagnosis and treatment for patients.

        Philips provide ultrasound technologies and integrated information system solutions which enable confident diagnosis and patient care.  From handheld devices to premium cart-based systems, our point-of-care portfolio is comprehensive, ergonomic and intuitive.

      • Mammography – improved access to screening


        The NHS is calling for people to be given greater choice over when and where they are screened.  CDC are an ideal way of delivering high-quality screening services to the population whilst avoiding hospitals.
         

        Philips partner with vendor-agnostic mammography and other screening solutions to provide faster access to screening in a community setting.  Our technologies and integrated information system solutions deliver personalised low-dose care, driving earlier diagnosis and improved cancer survival.

      • X-ray – moving healthcare closer to home


        The NHS Long Term Plan commits to supporting patients closer to home and potentially avoiding trips to A&E.  Philips Digital X-ray solutions include state-of-the-art systems that combine low-dose X-ray technology, versatile room configurations and ambient lighting to meet the most demanding radiography needs.

      • 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.

      • Innovative patient care – getting your results


        Waiting for results can be an anxious time for patients.  Philips innovative patient care solutions enable healthcare professionals to remotely connect with patients and support better management of chronic and complex conditions, enabling people to control their own health and wellbeing.
         

        Our applications enable patients to receive reminders, engage with health coaching, respond to surveys and questionnaires and message or video call their health professional in a single digital portal.
