British healthcare technology provider seeks licensing agreements with software providers

A long standing supplier to the UK's National Health Service (NHS), the UK company designs, builds and supports insightful and interoperable systems for healthcare services in the UK and abroad with a focus on mental health services. The company builds and supports the most widely used patient management system for psychological therapies in the UK. This system currently supports over 65% of the National Health Service (NHS) programme, Improving Access to Psychological Therapy (IAPT) - the world's largest national psychological therapy programme. The company also works internationally, supporting Australia's national psychological therapies programme. The company also offers a flexible client management software solution for counsellors and single-handed psychological therapists. The company's software is used by 180 services (including NHS trusts, private sector and charity partners) in England, with software tailored for both adult and children young persons services. In total, the software currently has over 17,000 active users and holds more than 5.4 million records for patients who have been through IAPT, with 1.2 million more referrals being added each year (accounting for 66% of patient activity). The company turned over £6.8m in the financial year to March 2021 and has grown steadily by approximately 15% annually over recent years. The company is wholly privately owned without investors, employing just under 100 staff at offices in England. In a typical year the business invests 15% of turnover in Research and Development on products and services, according to official UK tax records. The software is built on usability and data analysis, providing standardised and structured data collection against client defined care pathways and datasets to support service evaluation and planning. The software is used to routinely capture client reported outcome measures, evidencing gradual improvements in recovery and better enabling commissioners to plan effective patient care pathways that remain within budget. The software enables services to run detailed reports that help identify subsets of patients who are achieving less than optimal outcomes and to explore possible reasons for this. The software comes with a suite of tools to help clinicians better plan and manage their workloads; patient facing features are also embedded allowing for self-referral, enabled access to wider resources / interventions and video conferencing. The software is configurable to each customer's needs. Each service creates their own care pathway, and the patient record is driven by the steps along it with data collected accordingly. The system contains a wide range of patient questionnaires to capture information relevant to their care. Fields in drop down menus can be customised e.g. appointment locations particular to a service, and any electronic correspondence can be personalised using a services templates and branding. The UK company wishes to partner up with healthcare software providers through licensing agreements globally.
