Access’s vision for Rio is a fully integrated electronic health record (EHR) for every patient, supporting superior and efficient healthcare delivery. The Access Rio EPR system operates seamlessly across mental health, child health, and community care settings, ensuring interoperability with other systems.
Developed in collaboration with healthcare experts, Rio manages both administrative and clinical processes, tailored to meet the specific needs of each organisation. Trusted by thousands of healthcare professionals, Rio improves the quality of care, clinical safety, and patient experience, all while operating efficiently within budget constraints.
Rio eObservations: The eObservations module eliminates the need for paper-based recording of patient observations, automatically calculating early warning scores and storing vital signs directly in the patient’s clinical record. This real-time data availability at the point of care reduces clinical risks associated with misinterpretation of handwritten records and enhances patient prioritisation and treatment accuracy.
Order Communications: This module offers a fully digitised system for requesting tests and procedures, tracking progress, and accessing results instantly. By consolidating these functions into a single system, it improves safety and efficiency, ensuring that test results are always up-to-date and easily accessible.
Rio Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration (ePMA): The ePMA module integrates prescribing, verifying, and administering medications into a single digital record that follows the patient across different care settings. This continuity helps prevent costly prescribing errors and ensures the correct information is always available, enhancing medication safety and efficiency.
Rio Mood Diary App: The Mood Diary App supports patients’ mental well-being by providing access to their safety plan and emergency contacts. It facilitates the capture and sharing of daily mood patterns, offering clinicians valuable insights for early intervention and more tailored care strategies.
Rio Mobilise: Designed for community health teams, Rio Mobilise allows healthcare providers to complete their work, collaborate, and stay connected using a single mobile device from any location. It offers tailored views for different teams, integrating real-time data from the Rio EPR system to enhance service delivery and efficiency.
Rio Criminal Justice Liaison and Diversion Service (CJLDS) Screening: The CJLDS App revolutionises screening assessments for vulnerable individuals in the criminal justice system. It provides flexibility for health staff to conduct assessments on-site at police cells or courts, facilitating early identification and appropriate support recommendations, improving outcomes for both patients and practitioners.
Rio Virtual Assistant: The Virtual Assistant module interacts with patients to manage appointments, reducing missed appointments and associated costs. It allows patients to self-manage bookings and complete pre-appointment forms, enhancing convenience and streamlining administrative processes.
Rio Integration Hub: The Integration Hub is a cloud-based platform that enables secure data sharing across different care settings. By automating data access and entry, it reduces record inaccuracies and reporting inefficiencies, supporting a cohesive approach to patient care.
