Summary

The high-level dashboard for all Omni Consultation activity. It provides a snapshot of of usage across Voice Agents, Web Forms, and Phonebar events. This report helps you understand the shift toward digital triage and monitor individual staff engagement with the system

What you can Measure

  • Digital Transformation Trends: The Consultations by Date by Method chart visualises the adoption of digital tools over time. By monitoring the "purple" and "pink" segments, you can measure the success of campaigns designed to move patients toward online consultation forms

  • User Engagement Levels: Identify your "digital champions" through the Top 10 Users by Activity Levels. This breakdown shows which staff members are successfully assigned to, saving, or processing consultations, providing a clear picture of individual workload and system adoption

  • Triage Outcome Tracking: Monitor the status of consultations to see how many are being successfully completed (Saved) versus those that may have been removed (Deleted). This is a vital quality and safety metric for ensuring no patient request is left unaddressed

  • Workflow Attribution: The Consultation For chart identifies the primary recipient of the consultation data. This helps the practice understand if the majority of digital traffic is being handled by a central hub or being distributed to individual clinicians


Snapshot

The Snapshot page provides a real-time audit and operational view of all active and historical consultation forms. This report acts as a digital triage dashboard, tracking every patient request from submission to closure

What you can Measure

  • Triage Workflow Status: Monitor the lifecycle of all requests by tracking volumes for Triaged, Waiting, and Incomplete consultations. This allows you to see exactly where bottlenecks are occurring and prioritise unaddressed "Waiting" forms

  • Clinical Priority & Severity: Measure the urgency of your inbound workload through the Priority and Severity tables. By identifying high-priority or high-severity cases at a glance, you can ensure clinical resources are allocated to the most urgent patient needs first

  • Staff Accountability: Use the Assigned To column within the activity log to verify which staff member is handling each request. This provides a clear audit trail for clinical governance and helps balance the digital workload across the team

  • Status: Track the Read or Unread status for every consultation. This is a critical safety metric to ensure that no digital submission has been missed or unread by the team

  • Form Source & Category: Identify the most common entry points and request types, such as the Medical Request Form. Distinguishing between Web, Voice, and Phonebar submissions helps you understand how patients are interacting with your triage system


User View

The User View provides a detailed breakdown of how individual staff members are engaging with consultation requests. By visualising activity by user and method, you can monitor workload distribution across teams to ensure tasks are being handled efficiently

What you can Measure

  • Individual Workload Distribution: The Total Activities by User chart identifies which staff members are processing the highest volume of consultations. This is essential for balancing the "digital workload" and ensuring that triage responsibilities are shared appropriately across the team

  • Consultation Handling Methods: Monitor which methods individual users prefer whether Voice, Web, or Phonebar

  • Outcome Accountability: Track individual performance through the User Activities by Type table. By monitoring Assigned to, Saved, and Deleted counts, management can ensure that requests are being followed through to completion and that "deleted" forms are audited for clinical safety

  • System Adoption Trends: Identify your "digital champions" by seeing who is most active with the Phonebar and Web consultation tools. This helps you identify staff who may be able to support or train others on the new digital workflows


Voice Agent

The Voice Agent tracks the performance of your automated voice triage system. By analysing the "Agent Success" rate and identify exactly where patients are successfully completing their digital forms via the telephone

What you can Measure

  • Automation Success Rate: Monitor the Agent Success and Complete vs. Not Complete metrics. A high success rate indicates that the voice script is intuitive and that patients are successfully navigating the automated triage without needing manual intervention

  • Patient Journey Outcomes: The Online Consultation Outcomes chart visualises the flow of patient interactions. It highlights the proportion of patients who reached a Completed status versus those who Hung Up or were Not Completed, pinpointing where the journey may need refinement

  • Usage Trends Over Time: The Voice Agent Online Consultations and Success Rate by Date chart identifies spikes in automated activity. This helps you understand if patients are increasingly turning to the voice agent during peak periods to bypass traditional queues

  • Detailed Interaction Audit: Review the Voice Agent Online Consultation Activity log for a row-by-row breakdown of every interaction. Tracking the Output and Block Type allows for a granular audit of specific calls to see exactly which stage of the script a patient reached

  • Script Performance: Use the Script Name and Block Type data to evaluate the effectiveness of different automated workflows. If certain scripts show a high "Hung Up" rate, it may suggest that the questions are too complex or the prompts are too long for a voice-based interaction


Web Form

The Web Form Consultation report tracks the efficiency of your online triage forms. It provides a detailed view of the patient "funnel," from the moment they access a form on your website to the final successful submission

What you can Measure

  • Conversion Funnel Performance: The Form Activity funnel visualises the entire patient journey. It tracks how many patients Accessed a form versus how many achieved a Successful Submit. Identifying where the largest "drop-off" occurs helps you pinpoint technical or usability barriers

  • Patient Identification Success: Monitor the Successful Patient ID rate. This confirms how many patients were correctly matched with their clinical record during the form process. A high "Patient Not Found" rate in the Patient ID Success chart may indicate that patients need clearer instructions on entering their details

  • Form Completion Rate: Track the overall Web Form Success %. A low rate suggests that while many patients start a form, only half complete it. This is a key metric for evaluating if your forms are too long or complex for the average user

  • Daily Engagement Patterns: The Form Activities and Success Rate by Date chart identifies which days see the highest volume of digital submissions. Spikes in activity often correlate with your busiest phone days, demonstrating how web forms help manage the overall practice workload

  • Audit of Form Actions: Review the Form Online Consultation Activity log for a step-by-step audit of patient interactions. This tracks specific actions like "Confirmed Valid" or "Completed," providing evidence of exactly how patients are navigating the digital triage process


Phonebar

This report tracks the manual actions taken by staff using the Surgery Connect Phonebar. It captures every interaction handled by the team, from updating consultation statuses to adding medical codes, providing a comprehensive view of how your staff are processing patient requests in real-time

What you can Measure

  • Clinical Triage Progress: Track the Status of consultation updates. By viewing the number of requests marked as Triaged, Closed, or Waiting, you can monitor your triage hub and identify any backlogs before they impact patient care

  • Urgency and Risk Management: Review the Severity and Priority of actions taken. Seeing a high volume of "High" priority or "Medium" severity updates allows for an audit of clinical decision-making and ensures that the most critical tasks are being prioritised by your team

  • Action Types and Outcomes: The Event Type chart breaks down exactly what actions are being performed. Whether it is a simple Update Action, a Medical Code Add, or a Save To Record, this data allows the practice to see which clinical tasks are consuming the most time

  • Individual Performance & Engagement: Identify your most active triage staff through the Event Users chart. This highlights which clinicians or administrators are handling the bulk of the digital workload, providing valuable data for performance reviews and resource planning


Assign Patient Block

This report monitors the process of matching an incoming caller or digital submission to their specific clinical record. By tracking "Identification" success rates, the practice can evaluate how seamlessly the system is recognising patients, "Identified," "Not Identified," and "Hung Up" statuses

What you can Measure

  • Automated Identification Success: Monitor the Assign Patient Success to see how often the system correctly matches a patient. A high success rate indicates that patients are providing the correct data (like Date of Birth or NHS Number) to trigger an automated link to your clinical system

  • Patient Journey Drop-offs: The Assign Patient Outcomes chart visualises where the process fails. Distinguishing between Not Identified (incorrect data provided) and Hung Up (patient lost patience during the process) helps you determine if the automated prompts need to be simplified

  • Data Matching Efficiency: Track the volume of Patient Identified versus Patient Not Identified. Consistent "Not Identified" outcomes for certain periods may suggest that your clinical database needs a contact information update or that patients are calling from unrecognised numbers

  • Peak Identification Demand: Use the Assign Patient by Date chart to identify the busiest days for automated matching. These spikes often occur alongside high-volume clinics or Monday morning surges, proving the value of automation in handling administrative heavy lifting

  • Granular Process Audit: The Assign Patient Activity log provides a row-by-row account of every attempt. Reviewing the Output for specific timestamps allows you to troubleshoot technical issues or audit the patient experience for specific high-priority cases


Service Delivery Console

An audit log of administrative changes made to the Omni Consultation system. It tracks who accessed configuration pages, changed retention periods, or toggled form statuses. This enables your surgery to maintain high standards of clinical governance and ensure that all system adjustments are documented and accountable

What you can Measure

  • Administrative Audit Trail: Monitor the Config Page Accessed and SDC Action logs to see exactly when and how often your consultation settings are being reviewed. This is essential for ensuring that only authorised staff are making changes to your digital triage workflows

  • System Availability Management: Track the Form Status Toggled metric. This shows when forms were switched on or off, providing evidence for why a service may have been unavailable to patients during specific periods (e.g., during a scheduled staff meeting or bank holiday)

  • Data Governance Compliance: Monitor changes to the Retention Period. This is a critical security metric that ensures your practice is adhering to GDPR and local clinical data storage policies by documenting exactly when and how your data retention settings were updated

  • Configuration Activity Trends: The Service Delivery Console Actions by Date chart highlights periods of high administrative activity. Frequent changes may suggest that your practice is actively fine-tuning its triage process to respond to fluctuating patient demand

  • Verification of Saved Changes: Confirm that updates were successfully finalised by tracking Form Saved and Form Save Button Clicked. This provides a reliable check that administrative intentions were correctly committed to the system
