Helping the NHS Deliver Elective Recovery

The NHS Elective Recovery Plan aims to reduce long waits, restore 18-week RTT standards, and modernise referral workflows. LEO helps NHS services meet these goals through better triage, increased transparency, and digital innovation.

Reduce wait times
LEO flags inappropriate and incomplete referrals early, helping services prioritise efficiently and reduce backlog pressure.

Improve 18-week RTT performance
By aligning referrals with NICE Guidelines and Best Practice Timed Pathways (BPTP), LEO helps ensures patients are triaged correctly and reach treatment faster.
 

Support Advice & Guidance
Oversight dashboards track referral patterns and A&G outcomes. This helps operational teams manage demand and guide decisions.
 

Enhance governance and audit
LEO captures triage rationale, helping ensure consistent documentation across workflows, supporting accountability and clinical standards.
 

Drive digital transformation
LEO auto-extracts and codes referral data using SNOMED CT UK, integrates with NHS systems (eRS, PAS, EPR), and digitises processes for speed and consistency.

The Elective Recovery Plan emphasises convenient, digital-first care, expanding patient choice and restoring performance standards. LEO helps deliver:

• Better triage workflows
   
• Consistent clinical signposting
   
• Pathway appropriateness checks
   
• Real-time visibility for operations
   

LEO complements the NHS mission to reduce unwarranted variation and drive faster, safer patient pathways.
