By Avia (AIM: AVIA), the developer and provider of clinical decision support and communication facilitation to manage referrals systems, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary Plain Healthcare Ltd ("Plain") has signed a new contract for the sale of Odyssey CareAssess to NHS Telford in the West Midlands.

Odyssey CareAssess has been designed specifically for nursing and residential care homes and draws on Plain's 17 years of experience within the healthcare industry. It enables both clinical and non- clinically trained staff to offer residents the best possible care and support in the event of illness or injury, 24 hours a day. By providing users with easy to follow clinical decision support and advice, Odyssey CareAssess assists staff in making rapid, accurate assessments, selecting the appropriate course of action, and so ensuring the best quality of care. Using advanced touchscreen technology, this intuitive solution is easy to use, resulting in a detailed clinical summary of the patient's needs.
Barry Giddings, Chairman of Avia Health Informatics Plc, commented:"We are pleased to be working with Telford & Wrekin CCG to deliver Odyssey CareAssess as a hosted service, taking full advantage of the improved care provision and cost savings available through effective and efficient clinical assessments.
With the existing Odyssey clinical decision support systems and now Odyssey CareAssess, Avia offers healthcare organisations various clinical 'end-to-end' solutions to help improve the efficiency of their services. The product range for primary care spans initial self-assessment using Odyssey SelfAssess; receptionist prioritisation and assessment by the clinician using Odyssey PatientAssess; and the referral by the clinician to community or specialist care using PathFinderRF."
