Economic case study based on CareCube observational study

CareCube is a fully integrated digital workflow system. It was designed in collaboration with The Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital (LHCH) to simplify and centralise the complex scheduling and tracking of patients undergoing cardiovascular interventional procedures in catheter laboratories (cath labs). CareCube provides a framework for clinical teams with the aims of supporting patient safety, reducing human error and making the best use of resources.

This paper presents a simplified case study to demonstrate the potential incremental change in activity and associated tariff income if the efficiency improvements observed at LHCH can be replicated in three other cardiology hospital centres.
