Why YIHA
One tool. Three outcomes. Better for everyone.
YIHA separates routine data collection from clinical decision-making, helping your practice improve governance, protect staff capacity and use its resources more effectively.
Benefit 1
Governance and safety: a complete record for every review
Where risk builds
When a stable patient's annual review is squeezed into a rushed phone call or a short appointment, important information can be missed. Smoking status may not be updated, blood pressure may not be checked, or a classification may not be coded.
Across hundreds of patients, those small gaps create avoidable clinical and governance risk.
How YIHA helps
YIHA guides the patient through every required data point for their condition. The results flow directly into their Medtech record: daily record, screening tab, classifications, and inbox, before you even open the file.
When you review, the relevant measurements, medication checks and symptom scores are structured, documented and ready to assess. The clinician retains control of every decision.
The result: A consistent, auditable review based on clinical logic developed by experienced GPs.
Benefit 2
Staff wellbeing: give your team time back
The pressure of routine work
Clinical workload is not only driven by urgent and complex care. Repeated routine reviews also consume time, even when the patient is stable and the main need is complete documentation for safe prescribing.
In a 5,000-patient practice, that adds up to 120–300 clinical hours per year. Hours that could go to the patients who actually need a clinician's full attention.
How YIHA helps
YIHA separates data collection from clinical decision-making. The patient provides the information, then the clinician reviews it and acts.
Most patients don't need an appointment at all. The ones who do, you see with the full picture already prepared. Your team spends their time on clinical work, not data entry.
A practice using YIHA for routine reviews can free 2–6 clinical hours per week, creating meaningful capacity for the team.
The result: More sustainable workloads and more time for patients who need to be seen.
Benefit 3
Financial sustainability: choose the model that fits
YIHA can create value through released clinical capacity alone. Practices may also choose to charge a small patient fee for the convenience of a remote review. The right approach depends on your practice and patient community.
Efficiency model: when time saved is the priority
For many practices, the case for YIHA is straightforward: reduce the clinician time spent gathering routine data and return that capacity to work that needs clinical expertise. The practice funds the subscription and does not charge patients a separate fee for the remote review. This is the model many practices start with.
Patient fee model: an optional approach
Some practices charge a modest fee for the convenience and clinical input involved in a structured remote review. If the patient still needs an appointment, the practice can choose to credit that fee towards the consultation. Any charging policy remains a decision for the practice.
Important: Charging patients is entirely optional. Many practices use YIHA solely for released capacity and improved governance.
