An outdated practice management system is holding you back
"I'm using three different systems that don't talk to each other. I have to enter patient details twice, chase exports, and manually reconcile everything. It's a huge time drain."

- A consultant using three disconnected systems spends an estimated 6.5 additional hours per week on admin compared to a peer on an integrated platform, worth over £67,000 per year at £200 per hour
- Switching to an integrated PMS reduces duplicate data entry, eliminates reconciliation steps, and typically pays back its cost within six months through staff time savings alone
- The most commonly duplicated data entry points are patient registration, appointment booking, and billing, all addressable through a single integrated platform
- Admin time is significantly higher than in integrated system environments
- Data entry errors increase as information is duplicated across platforms
- Patient experience suffers from disconnected communication workflows
- The practice cannot generate meaningful management information
- System costs exceed the value delivered
Frequently asked questions
Why does this problem persist?
Systems are chosen for individual functions without considering interoperability Legacy PMS are retained because switching feels too disruptive The true cost of system inefficiency is never calculated
What is the cost of leaving it unaddressed?
Every hour lost to system inefficiency is an hour not spent on clinical work. At a clinician cost of £200 per hour, five hours of weekly system admin costs over £50,000 per year.
