High Cost Drugs – Guernsey
- Collect eligibility criteria evidence from Clinicians — gate-keeping every high-cost prescription
- Using Auto-Approval, ensure Clinicians receive approval to treat eligible patients immediately
- Keep a complete, irrefutable audit trail — preventing recurrence of the rheumatology crisis
- Built-in treatment review triggers — no patient continues on high-cost treatment unnecessarily
Introduction
Paperless Solution — Governance That Prevents Recurrence
A clinician cannot initiate a high-cost treatment without confirming on record that the patient meets the eligibility criteria. Every decision is documented, time-stamped, and retrievable. The audit trail is built at the point of prescribing — not reconstructed afterwards. Jersey's Health and Community Services operates under NICE guidance and the same governance principles as NHS England, making Blueteq immediately applicable without system redesign.
Request History & Document Storage
Every request, approval, and continuation decision is permanently stored and retrievable. If a prescription is challenged — by auditors, by the Government of Jersey, or in future proceedings — the evidence exists and is complete. Blueteq's document storage means no filing is required and all vital data is immediately to hand.
Customised Reporting for Jersey HCS
A full range of reports are available on demand. Jersey HCS management can see at a glance which high-cost medicines are in use, for which patients, against which criteria, and at what cost — information that should have been available and was not.
Without Blueteq
Paper proformas pile up — in hospitals AND GP surgeries. Clinicians complete forms that arrive by post, get lost, or sit in inboxes for days — creating delays in treatment and governance risk. This applies equally in hospital and in GP practice: under shared care agreements and primary care initiation models such as inclisiran, GPs are active high-cost drug prescribers who need the same governance infrastructure as hospital specialists.
No real-time financial data — and invoice leakage. You know what you approved. You don’t know what was actually prescribed, or whether treatment continued. Blueteq customers routinely identify discrepancies. Without it, that money is silently lost.
NICE compliance assumed, not evidenced. The statutory 90-day funding mandate requires demonstrable compliance. “We think our Trusts are following NICE guidance” is not sufficient when challenged by NHS England or during audit.
Invoice disputes without evidence — significant overpayment risk. Without a prescribing record linking patient, approval, and drug, challenging incorrect provider invoices is nearly impossible. Blueteq customers save on invoice values through discrepancy detection and match invoices to requests in minutes, saving up to a day of staff time per cycle.
