Clinical Guidelines

The Clinibee journey started with clinical guideline management, where we collaborated with clinicians from Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust to build the initial version of the platform.

By 2020, we supported 20% of London’s intensive care units during the Covid-19 pandemic, streamlining access to critical care Covid-19 management guidelines in a high-pressure environment.

Since then, we’ve continued to evolve, allowing over 35,000 clinicians across more than 200 organisations and 6 countries to create, manage and distribute their clinical guidance.

Clinical guidelines remain a core component of our offering, helping healthcare teams overcome common challenges in managing, accessing, and the governance of clinical knowledge.

The Problems in
Clinical Guideline Management

Many clinicians struggle to locate the most up-to-date and approved guidelines due to fragmented and outdated systems with poor search engines.

Clinibee’s centralised, intuitive platform delivers the latest approved guidelines through powerful, accurate search functionality.

Duplicated but differing content within and between departments can create conflicting practices, putting patient safety at risk.

We unified clinical content across departments, eliminating duplications and discrepancies to ensure consistent practices and enhance patient safety.

With complex governance structures, there can be a lack of clarity over who owns clinical guidelines, leading to delays in updating and out-of-date clinical advice.

Our transparent governance platform ensures timely updates and prevents outdated advice from reaching clinicians.

Traditional review and approval processes are slow and often manual, relying on email chains, delaying critical updates and wasting valuable clinical time.

Clinibee replaced slow, manual approval processes with a fast, automated platform, reducing delays and freeing clinicians to focus on patient care.

Clinibee was designed to address these barriers to high quality care, providing a secure and efficient platform for clinical guideline management that enhances patient care and clinician productivity.

We built the platform in collaboration with the clinicians who were experiencing these issues in their clinical environment.

Unlock New Content

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It…

Normally, the team would have searched for the old, tired-looking red bedside folder that used to contain all the policies and guidelines but had become sparse over the years, with pages removed or lost, making it a precious resource for nurses. We did not face this problem! A quick search on Clinibee and login at the bedside computer provided all the guidelines and the template for the ECMO retrieval checklist in no time.

Incorporating Clinibee into our governance processes has channelled our focus to harmonise our guidelines. We have a complex setup with multiple units, and the platform has allowed us to get to grips with the size of our challenge in eliminating unwarranted variation and quickly identifying areas we should focus on.
