Clinical Coder

In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, the administrative burden on general practitioners has become a significant challenge, often diverting their focus from the core of their profession: patient care. Witnessing this growing strain within the UK's National Health Service (NHS), a new venture, Ortus Health, emerged in 2023 with a clear and compelling mission. What began as a concept to streamline practice workflows has quickly materialized into a vital support system for NHS General Practices. The journey of Ortus Health is one of passion for efficiency and a deep-seated desire to empower healthcare professionals to do what they do best. The company was founded on the principle that by taking on the operational weight of administrative and clinical support tasks, they could free up invaluable time and resources for frontline clinicians.

Ortus Health's narrative is one of partnership and seamless integration. Rather than introducing complex new systems or requiring extensive training, their team of experienced healthcare professionals, all with NHS backgrounds, slots directly into a practice's existing workflows. This 'plug-and-play' model was a deliberate choice, born from understanding the pressures faced by GP practices. Whether it's managing the deluge of daily documents, triaging patient requests through platforms like Accurx and eConsult, or handling clinical coding, Ortus Health acts as an extension of the practice's own team. This approach not only clears backlogs and improves efficiency but also enhances patient access and satisfaction. The story of Ortus Health is still in its early chapters, but it's a narrative of purpose-driven innovation, dedicated to reinforcing the backbone of the UK's primary care system and ensuring that the focus remains firmly on patient well-being.
