Ardens is a comprehensive clinical software solution designed specifically for UK primary care. It's named after the Latin word meaning "burning" or "passionate," reflecting its mission to improve healthcare delivery. Ardens provides standardised templates, protocols, searches and reports that integrate with GP clinical systems like EMIS Web and SystmOne, helping practices and Primary Care Networks deliver consistent, high-quality care.
Ardens supports Primary Care Networks (PCNs) by providing standardised clinical templates, protocols and reporting tools that work across multiple practices, regardless of which clinical system they use. This enables PCNs to implement consistent approaches to care delivery, simplifies data collection for network-level reporting, supports delivery of enhanced services and PCN DES requirements, facilitates shared learning, and provides PCN-specific dashboards to monitor performance against key metrics and targets.
Ardens is designed to be compatible with the main clinical systems used in UK primary care. It works seamlessly with EMIS Web and SystmOne, which together cover over 95% of GP practices in the UK. The Ardens solution provides versions tailored to each system while maintaining consistent clinical content, enabling standardisation across practices regardless of which system they use. This compatibility is particularly valuable for Primary Care Networks that contain practices using different clinical systems.
Ardens covers a comprehensive range of clinical areas relevant to UK primary care. This includes templates and protocols for managing long-term conditions (such as diabetes, COPD, asthma, and hypertension), mental health, women's health, child health, and frailty. It also provides resources for preventative care, screening programmes, QOF requirements, enhanced services, PCN DES specifications, and NHS health checks. The clinical content is regularly updated to reflect the latest guidelines and best practices from NICE, SIGN, and other authoritative sources.
Ardens improves practice efficiency through several mechanisms: standardised templates reduce consultation time and ensure comprehensive data capture; automated coding ensures accurate clinical records; pre-built searches and reports save administrative time; protocol-driven care pathways guide clinicians through evidence-based management steps; integrated decision support tools aid clinical decision-making; batch reporting capabilities streamline population health management; and regular updates ensure compliance with the latest guidelines without practice staff needing to create or modify templates themselves.
