Dressing Optimisation Scheme (DOS)

How much could you save on your annual dressings budget?

Our expert team at Accelerate have developed a unique and trusted Dressings Optimisation Scheme (DOS) and an intelligent product ordering system called Click! They enable clinicians and Medicines Management colleagues in the NHS to:

• Reduce waste
• Save money
• Reduce variation across their patch

We have a highly experienced clinical team who use their extensive wound care expertise to demonstrate sustainable savings despite population increases.

To date, we have implemented this in six London areas and savings in excess of £3m have been made. We are confident that DOS and Click can be adopted across other areas of the UK to save the NHS more money.

How does it work?

Our unique Dressings Optimisation Scheme reduces waste using a combination of clinical insights and online technology including our Click independent dressings ordering system.

When dressings are prescribed for a patient using FP10, patients are given a whole box of dressings and may only use 1 or 2 with the rest going in the bin. Our system gets around this problem because dressings are ordered by and belong to the local practice and not the patient.

Our Customer Service Team make sure that once ordered via Click, the dressings are delivered within 48 hours to your practice. This means that your patients get the right dressing at the right time – and importantly at the right price.

Accurate data improves savings and patient outcomes

Our Dressings Optimisation Scheme shows where and when changes can be made to the amount or type of products you use. This in turn can enable fine-tuning of your formulary and significantly reduce the number of wasted dressings.

Additionally, if you use Click, we are able to share data-driven insights back with you and your organisation. We analyse the data and can tell you which locations are doing all the right things, which need more encouragement and where immediate savings can be made by swapping in a like-for-like product for example.
