Detailed solution introduction
TPP provides healthcare software to government and clinical intuitions to manage the healthcare of the citizens. The integrated system ensures that the medical records can be accessed from anywhere, at any time and across in the country.
In response to the Covid-19 situation, TPP provides public health screening questionnaires to the governemt to ensure that any suspected cases were correctly reported. This supports regular screening programmes and enables the clinical intuitions to easily comply with the country's health legislation.
Case study:
In order for the government of the BVIs to best protect their population against the Covid-19 outbreak, the Ministry of Health and Social Development and the BVI Health Service Authority Board are proud to announce that we are launching a new free app and hotline service for all BVI citizens. This service will allow residents to access free medical advice in regards to the Covid-19 outbreak and for the government to be fully informed about the healthcare situation across our islands.
The new service means that citizens can call our Covid-19 hotline and access information that will help manage the wellbeing of themselves and their families. Equally, citizens can access the new app – Airmid to enter in their symptoms and send that directly to healthcare professionals. This will allow the healthcare authorities to best prepare for the Covid-19 outbreak and help keep people safe in the coming weeks and months.
TPP is supplying the system for the call centre, to enable medical staff to provide advice to their patients and record this into their medical record. They will also be able to contact patients and perform video consultations with those in difficulty through the integration between TPP's clinical system and their patient app, Airmid. Airmid is available to all citizens of the BVIs and enables them to access their medical records and track their symptoms over time.
TPP is supplying this solution for no charge for the duration of the Covid-19 crisis.

TPP also works with research institutions for big data analysis.
Case Study:
TPP works with the Oxford RCGP RSC initiative to run clinical trials to address the Covid-19 emergency. The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) Research and Surveillance Centre (RSC) based at the University of Oxford is one of Europe's oldest surveillance systems. It spotted the 2009 Swine flu pandemic before the virologists. It is now turning its attention to how general practice might help us mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A letter from TPP, the RCGP and the University of Oxford is being sent to all 2600 practices in England that currently use SystmOne – TPP's Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. This letter explains the methodology that will be used.
This partnership will enable clinical trials of selected medicines that might reduce the duration and severity of COVID-19 including hospital admission and mortality. The RCGP RSC initiative will allow GPs using TPP SystmOne to recruit patients into the trials and then access information entered via participants using the Airmid app.
Patients who are eligible will be recruited by clinics using TPP's clinical trials toolkit. This means that when an individual arrives at a hospital or clinic, the doctor will be alerted that the patient fits the trial criteria. Following this consultation, participants can enter in symptoms, data from wearable devices and current medication to monitor their progress.
By combining patient collected data, combined with the medical record, the researchers at Oxford will be able to determine the efficacy of certain medicines
