Emergency admissions, out-patient appointments and in-patient appointments all rely on accurate contact data to tie records together providing a single view of the patient.
Our software solutions sit behind Patient Administration Systems (PAS) commonly used in the NHS and private medical practices helping validate details at the point of entry.
AFD’s fast, accurate data entry solutions help NHS Accident and Emergency staff to quickly drill down to a precise address even from a confused patient when time is critical.
Name, Address, Phone, Email and Bank data can all be validated to help reduce invalid data being entered into your systems.
Existing data can also be cleansed to check if the data is valid, and where possible correct them.
If we can speed up the collection of routine data, then we can give more time and resource to people with epilepsy, their families and supporters. Using Postcode Plus helps us to do that, as otherwise taking down an address might be the longest part of a call.

Address validation saves time and money. It is the backbone of excellent service, customer retention, data analysis, prevention of duplicates, enhanced reputation and more profitable business performance.
Email validation saves time and money. A simple mistake in typing an email address makes it impossible for an email to reach the right recipient. For a business or service-based organisation, this can be costly to both revenue and reputation.
Accurate phone and mobile data allows your organisation to maintain contact and relationships with customers. If the contact details in your contact database have errors, communications will fail.
Maintaining a clean, duplicate-free customer, supporter, student, member or prospect address database underpins the foundations of effective marketing, high-quality customer service and punctual delivery.
Here you can find additional datasets that can be returned at the same time as an address is validated.
