For patients
More reliable follow-up, clearer communication, fewer unnecessary visits and earlier escalation where clinically indicated.
Integrated Lung Nodule Management
A technology-enabled clinical pathway.
An end-to-end electronic pathway designed to standardise care, coordinate the multidisciplinary team and support safe surveillance from nodule detection through discharge or cancer diagnosis.
The digital pathway
One transparent, auditable record.
HealthZon brings together the information, decisions, schedules and communications required to manage a longitudinal lung nodule pathway.
01
Centralised patient and nodule record
Capture patients, nodules, scans, measurements, findings and pathway status in a longitudinal record.
02
Risk stratification and planning
Support structured assessment using established algorithms and current BTS recommendations, with clinician oversight.
03
MDT coordination
Prepare cases, document discussions and record outcomes, actions and accountability in real time.
04
Surveillance and safety-netting
Schedule follow-up, surface due and overdue activity, and manage missed appointments and incomplete actions.
05
Escalation and resolution
Support timely escalation to urgent lung cancer pathways, continued surveillance or safe discharge.
06
Communication
Standardise communication with patients, GPs and referrers while preserving the clinical record.
Closed-loop safety-netting
Not just a database—a managed clinical pathway.
The value of HealthZon is the coordination of referral, surveillance, MDT, escalation and communication in one accountable workflow, reducing reliance on spreadsheets and manual chasing.
Referral→Triage→MDT→Surveillance→Escalation→Communication
Benefits by stakeholder
A better model for patients, clinicians and the Trust.
For clinicians
Consistent decision support, more efficient MDT coordination and less administrative effort reconstructing the pathway.
For the organisation
Robust safety-netting, better use of imaging and outpatient capacity, reduced duplication and improved auditability.
Virtual care model
Enable care closer to home while maintaining oversight.
The Virtual Lung Nodule Clinic model allows suitable follow-up to be coordinated without routine outpatient attendance, supported by structured review, communication and escalation.
Clinical accountability
HealthZon provides decision support and pathway coordination. Clinical accountability remains with the treating clinician.
Phased deployment
A controlled route from core platform to clinical pilot.
Each phase is intended to progress through local technical, information-governance and clinical-safety approval.
Core platform
Authentication, referral workflow, radiology review, MDT and correspondence.
Trust hosting & security
Approved hosting, identity, access controls, monitoring and operational support.
API integration
Patient registry, Careflow, Sectra, CRIS and communication interfaces subject to access.
Validation & pilot
User acceptance testing, training, clinical validation and controlled service deployment.
