OPEL Pressure Monitoring

Understanding and managing pressures across the healthcare system is a key challenge for ICBs, PCNs and GP Practices.

Ardens Manager now features OPEL Pressure Monitoring, providing a real-time visual dashboard to track, manage, and report on pressures in primary care settings. This enables teams to identify and address issues early, escalate appropriately, and ultimately protect patient safety & staff wellbeing.

THE SOLUTION

Ardens Manager OPEL Dashboard

Monitor

Use the OPEL Pressure Monitoring dashboard to track data on appointment demand, workload and capacity.

Assess

Evaluate pressure levels with manual assessment form submissions, including regular email reminders. Alongside manual submissions, Ardens Manager generates a weekly calculated OPEL score using key metrics like appointment demand, utilisation, and DNA rates to complement the manual submissions.

Escalate

Escalate issues to your ICB, with email notifications via manual or calculated pressure assessments. Review manual submissions against calculated pressure.

Coordinate

Communicate easily between practices and the ICB during periods of increased pressure, reviewing previous submissions and agreeing actions.

Review

Teams can review pressure trends at ICB and practice levels, and use this insight to predict and prevent future issues.

✓ Real-time submissions - Practices submit their OPEL pressure status within Ardens Manager and receive regular reminders to update their status, ensuring insight reflects current pressures in the system.

✓ Alerts & oversight - ICBs are notified when a practice reaches Level 2 or higher, and can review and comment on submissions from practices.

✓ Additional insights - Practices can add details for pressure causes, such as high demand, staffing shortages, and severe weather.
