TAAP Revolutionising the NHS in Response to Covid-19

TAAP Visitor Book in Action

TAAP, a market leader in digital transformation, have been rapidly integrating our innovative contactless sign-in solution in the health service to reduce touchpoints, giving the health service an added layer of protection in the fight against the coronavirus.

TAAP’s Visitor Book solution presents a Quick Response (QR) code to visitors and asks them to scan it to enter an online sign in service. The NHS Trust can request data like names, phone numbers, health status, and more. This data is then communicated to the admin staff who can use it to alert medical professionals of the visitors’ arrival.

Currently 60 locations have been identified to receive the new sign in solution. This innovation can assist in drastically reducing transmission and the spread of Covid-19.

The Trust Innovation Board were recently presented with the TAAP Solution. The panel thought the idea was interesting and provided a seamless and safe solution for visitors attending site and successfully awarded full funding to roll out the TAAP solution Trustwide. Following this initial roll out the team have also been nominated for an innovation award.

Janice Darling, a Site Manager at Hertfordshire Partnership NHS  Foundation Trust (HPFT) who is assisting with the roll out of TAAP said, “The TAAP solution offers us an excellent opportunity to maintain safety within the environment and also gives our service users assurances that we are a forward thinking and innovative Trust with their safety at the heart of everything we do”.

While Hakan Akozek, Chief Information Officer for HPFT agreed, “As most of us are now used to checking into public venues using QR codes, this was the most pragmatic approach to address some the challenges posed by the pandemic at our receptions. TAAP provided a cost effective digital solution to address this immediate issue that can be implemented very quickly and maintained with very little overhead. The supplier has also been very supportive and accommodating throughout the process”.

TAAP’s Visitor Book has the impressive effect of almost completely dissolving queuing, in reception areas, overnight. The QR code can be presented at the doors of the facilities, and before entering the premises the visitor can be asked to complete health assessments and Covid-19 questionnaires on their personal devices.

This solution works in scenarios with and without attending staff members. Replacing the previous method of using pen and paper, or in kiosk arrangements that has potential to spread the virus through touchpoint contamination.

Steve Higgon, CEO of TAAP stated that, “We’re thrilled the success Janice and the team are experiencing with Visitor Book. The product was built to solve the challenges that Covid presented, and this is another example of how one of TAAP’s customers have deployed Visitor Book to great success”.

Healthcare is on the cusp of a digital revolution and this NHS Trust is ahead of the innovation curve.

Why TAAP?

Why TAAP?

Why would you build applications on TAAP?

The software industry promised you could digitise all your processes, become a data first organisation, embrace AI and transform into the business of the future. But is that really the full story?

It’s an exciting vision, but here’s the reality.

Just like the nuclear industry, software promises immense power and potential, but it also has a radioactive side.

Over time, software decays. It becomes harder to manage, each year its maintenance costs spiral. All software reaches a tipping point where it must be retired or completely rebuilt.

Software maintenance is its own master, touching every part of an organisation.

All of your software must be maintained all at once, reacting to Patches, updates, compatibility issues, and new vulnerabilities. You don’t control the timeline, your software does.

It consumes every available IT resource, restricts agility, and the more you digitise the worse it gets

And the cost? Maintaining software typically costs 7 to 10 times more than the initial cost of building it.

It drains your ability to innovate, to seize opportunities, to move at the speed of business and to remain competitive.

The dream of end-to-end digital transformation begins to fade. The vision becomes a fantasy. Software, once a symbol of progress, becomes a burden. Delays mount. Backlogs grow. New ideas are sidelined. Legacy software grinds your business to a halt, undermining your most critical asset: data.

It’s a self-perpetuating cycle, a workload-creation engine, creating lag, inefficiency, and operational drag.

This isn’t the future you imagined, but it’s how the software industry has operated for the last 50 to 70 years. It’s the unspoken cost of ownership, the law of diminishing returns.

There has to be a better way!

This is where TAAP steps in.

TAAP has shifted spend from maintenance to innovation, embracing an AI-centered future of evolving knowledge engineering.

Apps written to run on TAAP are free from legacy maintenance.

They can run for 10, 15, or more years, maintenance-free!

You can digitise everything and do so free from the burden of technical debt!

TAAP technologies allow you to leverage our AI-assisted designers to scope and define the solutions you require.

TAAP simplifies and accelerates the process of turning ideas into apps.

With TAAP you can build fully functional applications in seconds, not code snippets, but enterprise-grade applications with support for role-based access controls and Single Sign On right out of the box. This means you can operate at enterprise scale giving the right people permissions to access and use the apps they require.

You can now truly become a digital-first organisation.

You can have tremendous flexibility over how you can build apps and target different types of deployments, cloud, on-premise, on-device, even fully offline.

You can develop and release an unlimited number of processes and at different release cadence.

TAAP has been engineered to allow organisations to embrace software at scale across departments, for SMEs, national and global enterprise, and in multiple languages.

Our generative technologies are deterministic, allowing you to digitise any process without compromise, built how you want, bug free, with zero maintenance, whilst providing access to your source code and IP.

Engineered for frictionless scale-out via the Microsoft commercial marketplace, customers from over 170 markets can directly start building applications on TAAP with a click of a button.

Commercialised to be inclusive for consultancies, ISVs, SIs, and product companies to benefit from this technology. Creating their own IP on TAAP, licensing and protecting their margins and value within a new and modernising software industry.

With low-cost licensing, we encourage you to digitise everything, and we don’t penalize or restrict you from wanting to digitise it all

This is a tectonic shift to the way in which software can be envisioned and leveraged for the future. We are driving the next stage of evolution for the software industry, reducing the time to value and bringing quicker results, improved quality, and lower costs

It’s almost too good to be true, but that’s our vision, allowing the world to embrace software and elevating the way technology can help humanity grow and evolve. We are changing the rules of how the software industry has operated so far.

TAAP delivers the future the software industry promised, but struggled to deliver.

TAAP can help you simplify complexity, accelerate performance, and achieve results—fast.
