Where does Eva fit in?
Eva was created to replace the healthcare sector’s manual systems. Currently, no integral software solution exists to facilitate and improve the quality of patient safety investigations. This is where Eva comes in. Eva helps investigators save time and navigate the complexities of the investigative process. With automated tips and guidance drawn from the application’s rich knowledge base, Eva goes about gathering and interpreting the data behind the scenes to deliver consistency, support and a wider understanding of the improvements needed in patient safety in UK Healthcare.
Conduct consistent, higher quality investigations
Designed by experienced investigators and based on NPSA guidelines, Eva delivers structured processes that generate clearer investigation reports which enable investigators to dig deeper into underlying factors and get to the heart of the issues.
Investigation request
Commissioners of the investigation lead the request and set the investigation parameters.
Terms of reference
Investigation team identifies incident related issues to be investigated with commissioner oversight.
Evidence
Evidence log with upload cabilities ensures that key documents are saved for future reference.
Analysis
Interactive chronology helps the investigator to visualise progress and dig deeper into contributing factors and underlying causes.
Recommendations

Microsoft Office integration
Eva acts as a repository for everything that relates to the investigation including ToRs, evidence, reports, patient/family communication and progress status. Full integration with the Office suite improves efficiency and increases transparency, improves governance and mitigates risk for the organisation.
Uncover greater visibility and unprecedented insights
Eva pools together investigation data from across the organisation into a series of dashboards, allowing greater monitoring and oversight of investigation processes and outcomes across multiple sites. This facilitates more in-depth analysis of the data to reveal underlying themes and recurring issues which may need to be addressed.
