Calculate time and cost savings for multidisciplinary team meetings
Multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings are still an essential part of managing care for patients with complex conditions. However, MDTs can be more efficient and effective with asynchronous working. Less complex cases can be dealt with more rapidly outside of the traditional face-to-face or virtual meeting setting.
By using a digital platform like Bleepa® to discuss patient cases as diagnostic results become available, your organisation can release clinical time back for clinicians and reduce costs. To work out how much your organisation can save fill in our MDT costs calculator below.
