Addressing the inappropriate use of NHS services when self-care would be more appropriate, the CATCH app gives parents information when they need and want it, via smartphone or tablet.
Summary:
CATCH gives parents appropriate and understandable information when they need and want it, in a timely and measured way, via smartphone or tablet. Support and clinical knowledge is aggregated from an area’s GPs and public health department, building a region-specific, tailored, trusted resource that parents can re-use, giving them the confidence to look after their children at home. CATCH curates this local health information and articles from trusted sources, such as NHS Choices.
Challenge/problem identified:
The Common Approach To Children’s Health – or CATCH – addresses the inappropriate use of NHS services, when self-care would be more appropriate.
Impact:
*Based on 284 responses from user satisfaction survey conducted by Eastern Cheshire CCG.
