OPAN®: The No. 1 Platform for Outpatient Care
For over 10 years, OPAN® has been the leading platform in transition management from inpatient to outpatient settings and has played a key role in shaping the standardization and digitalization of applications for home care services and nursing homes in collaboration with various stakeholders.
Freelance nursing professionals play a crucial role and are indispensable for the healthcare system. However, until now, there has been a lack of a platform that recognizes their system-relevant importance and offers corresponding connection options. OPAN® is now closing this gap. We recognize the enormous potential in interprofessional collaboration and have designed our new platform to offer flexible cooperation possibilities.
Experience efficiency, flexibility, and security in one – expand your network with OPAN®.
Optimized Processes
Connected Healthcare
Benefit from the following features
OPAN® offers standardized workflows for applications and transitions to aftercare institutions. The system enables flexible transmission processes, where initial applications can be gradually supplemented with additional data, either manually or automatically through interfaces.
Providers benefit from a central entry point for applications, enabling efficient coordination of admissions. Information can be transmitted to specialized applications via interfaces. This structured approach promotes targeted communication and prevents the loss of important information in the flood of emails.
The workflow thus supports efficient and transparent handling of the entire application process.
The OPAN® case communication module enables the structured exchange of information on patient cases within and between healthcare facilities.
It distinguishes between internal and external comments, with internal comments visible only to the user's own organization. The module provides a chronological comment history, facilitating the tracking of decision-making processes. For data protection reasons, comment contents are not sent by email; instead, users receive notifications about new comments. Notification settings are customizable. Comments can be marked as read and are visible in PDF documents. The module supports integration into existing systems through interfaces.
Sub-orders (planned)
The importance of interprofessional collaboration is continuously growing. Within OPAN®, organizations can pass on sub-orders from received applications and inquiries internally or to partner organizations. These sub-orders include a selection of relevant information from the original application, supplemented by specific instructions for the executing organization.
In the home care sector, for example, this could mean that an application for household support is forwarded to a specialized partner organization, or that an application for assisted living results in additional home care nursing services. Further details can be clarified and exchanged traceably on the sub-order using case communication.
Flexible Forwarding in OPAN®
OPAN® offers functions for internal and external forwarding of applications, messages, and requests. Internally, entries can be forwarded between departments, for example, from central dispatch to triage. Externally, the system allows forwarding to partner organizations.
Providers can link as many partners as needed, such as home care organizations, freelance nurses, nursing homes, or other healthcare facilities. If necessary, for instance, when a task cannot be performed by oneself, an application can be forwarded to a partner. The partner is automatically notified and assumes responsibility for the application. This functionality promotes efficient work processes and resource utilization.
The OPAN® capacity management module enables efficient management and communication of available spaces in outpatient and inpatient aftercare institutions. Referrers receive real-time access to current capacity information, including detailed information on various offers and room categories.
Providers can easily update capacity data via a user interface, choosing between exact numbers and general availability. The system offers customizable reminders for regular updates.
It reduces administrative effort by minimizing phone inquiries and redundant transmissions to hospitals. This optimizes the referral process and occupancy efficiency for all involved.
OPAN® offers interfaces for the integration of application data into specialized applications. Structured data is transmitted directly, reducing manual entries and optimizing workflows. The interfaces provide easy access to application details and associated documents. Automatic data updates minimize administrative effort. The system supports legally compliant, long-term data storage and archiving.
Seamless data integration fully digitizes the application process, increasing efficiency and reducing error sources. This functionality promotes optimal use of the OPAN® platform in conjunction with existing IT systems of healthcare facilities.
