Why have we partnered with other organisations?
We've released Partner questionnaires, which are available to all Accurx users. To achieve this we worked alongside partners (commercial and charities).
The following are the available Partner questionnaires and whom weโve partnered with:
Cancer Care with Macmillan
COPD Assessment Test (CAT) sponsored and developed with GSK
Urinary Tract Infection with TARGET
Whether improving care for patients with cancer, improving management of COPD or helping address antibiotic resistance, weโre excited by the potential for questionnaires to improve patient outcomes and experience in a wide range of areas.
We believe partner organisations such as Macmillan, GSK and TARGET can provide valuable expertise in the development of questionairres. GSK has also funded the development of the new COPD questionnaire, allowing us to prioritise it in time for winter and the end of the QOF year. For full transparency, Accurx will be paid for the number of COPD questionnaires completed by patients. This will allow us to make some questionnaires available for all Accurx Desktop users, regardless of whether they have access to Accurx Plus.
Our promise to you
We will only work with third parties where we believe there is a genuine benefit to patients, both in outcomes and experience. We will turn down (and have already) any opportunities that do not pass this test. We will never share patient data with a commercial third party.
What data is shared?
Under no circumstances will patient responses or any other personal data be shared with any other third party. Accurx will only provide our partners with the aggregate number of questionnaires sent and responded to for each organisation. Find out more on Accurx IG & Security.
Releasing the new COPD Questionnaire
Weโre releasing a detailed COPD questionnaire based on the COPD Assessment Test (CAT). It will include the current MRC score, as well as:
The COPD Assessment Test (CAT)
Frequency of COPD exacerbations
Admissions due to COPD exacerbations
Smoking status, including pack years
An improved COPD questionnaire can help identify the need for a detailed review or other intervention, such as pulmonary rehab, appropriate prescribing as per guidelines, or smoking cessation, to be prioritised. This questionnaire does not reference or promote any GSK medicine.
