Operational intelligence across settings

Care is moving out of hospital. The operational picture has to follow it.

Flow is now managed across acute, virtual and community services at once. PA-IQ brings those settings into one operational view, built from the systems you already run.

  • Supports the shift hospital → community
  • From yesterday’s report → today’s picture
Illustrative figures for a system of around 960 acute beds. No patient data.
  • Licensed across 80 hospitals, 450 wards and 12,000 beds in England, Scotland and Wales
  • Long-standing relationships with NHS organisations
  • Works with the EPRs and systems you already run

AI in a helicopter.

Real-time clinical insight. Zero disruption to care.

With the Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service (EMRTS Cymru), Swansea Bay University Health Board and Microsoft, we are piloting ambient voice technology in one of the most demanding clinical settings there is: the air ambulance.

It listens to what the clinical team says about injuries, observations and medication given, and drafts the documentation as they go, so the record builds while their hands and attention stay on the patient.

Connected Intelligence · alongside your EPR, not instead of it

Operational intelligence on the systems you already run.

The systems are there; the operational picture often isn’t. PA-IQ runs inside your own environment, reads what your existing systems already hold, and gives each team the operational view it needs. No replacement programme.

How we build with you

Built around how you work, not the other way round.

Our customers shape our products and our roadmap. Every application is built from your vision and your standard operating procedures, so it fits the way your teams already work. We never ask you to change how you work to match our software.

  1. 1You bringYour vision and your SOPs

    We start from where you want the service to go and how your teams actually run it today: your standard operating procedures, your pathways, your terms.

  2. 2We buildA working version, early

    Within weeks you see a working version of the application built around your SOPs, on illustrative data, so your teams can shape it before anything is connected.

  3. 3We agreeA Data Map, field by field

    Every item on screen is traced to the field in your systems it comes from, agreed with your IT and information teams. No surprises at go-live.

  4. 4We deliverOnboarding and go-live

    A structured onboarding connects the agreed data and brings your teams onto a product they have already helped design.

What one customer asks for often becomes part of the product for everyone, which is how our roadmap is set.

What changes when the operational picture connects

  • One view across settings

    Physical, virtual and community care in the same picture, not in separate systems.

  • Attention where it is needed

    Who needs attention today, what is blocking flow, and what needs to happen next.

  • Start with one, connect later

    Every application delivers on its own. Connecting them is a choice you make when it is worth something.

How PA-IQ is put together

Built to grow with the problem.

Begin with the application that solves the immediate operational need. Connect more through PA-IQ when a wider view becomes valuable.

  • Focused applications Each PA-IQ application answers one operational problem — a site, a ward, a virtual caseload — and delivers on its own.
  • Connected Intelligence, the platform PA-IQ's orchestration layer. It brings operational information and intelligence from several applications, systems and settings into one wider picture.
  • Adopt it a piece at a time Begin with one application rather than implementing everything at once, and expand as the case for the next piece is made.
  • Alongside your EPR, not instead of it PA-IQ complements the EPRs, departmental systems and workflows already in place. Teams keep working where they work now.
