- Support levels
- EQL provides onboarding support for Phio Collect for the initial phase. This integration team comprises clinical representatives (qualified Physiotherapists), operations support, customer success manager, engineering, governance (clinical and information), and where appropriate GP liaison support. They will discuss all integration routes and confirm which route is most appropriate. The integration team will be on hand throughout the onboarding process to provide staff training, governance set up, project management, operational & technical support. EQL clinical representatives will work with all necessary clinical stakeholders to configure the decision tree. This includes pathway mapping and exit points, ensuring the unique instance of Phio Collect reflects local frameworks and desired clinical outputs inclusive of patient communication (i.e. defining appropriate messaging for a given outcome). EQL are also able to provide ongoing clinical support via our internal Clinical Services Team. Phio Collect requires relatively little ongoing support. However, our post-onboarding service includes personal account management support and ongoing KPI’s. We also provide online support to end users of the platform for any technical support that might be required.
- Support available to third parties
- Yes
Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
- Onboarding Project Management is provided to our customers via our dedicated onboarding team to assist them with their set up of Phio Collect. This includes a mixed approach of online training and demos along with training documentation. Once onboarding has taken place the project will move to a "business as usual" function whereby regular contacts will be established to maintain and monitor ongoing success of the project and report on service level agreements. Each contract benefits from a designated Customer Success Manager who will coordinate and mobilise the various EQL teams (e.g. clinical, operational, technical) where and when appropriate.
- Service documentation
- Yes
- Documentation formats
- End-of-contract data extraction
- All outstanding data (not previously provided to them) is provided to the user via their integration route; either API or Admin Portal.
- End-of-contract process
- Our service for the specific customer goes offline and no new patients are allowed access to the service. We ensure the customer has been provided all outstanding data. We keep all patient data for the customer for the timeframes assigned in our data retention policy.

- Description of customisation
- The back-end decision trees used to power Phio Collect are entirely customisable. This extends to both the types of questions that are asked as well as including a variety of outcome measures. Customisation in this way allows for the creation of unique decision trees for different pathways (e.g. those who receive care in primary care, ED or a variety of MSK services), as well as those that are at different stages of their treatment. This significantly increases the versatility of the platform as well as the type of data it can report on.

Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
-
We work to maintain a high level of availability at 95%. Our approach is to minimise downtime to provide consistent access to our services.
In the rare event that our services become unavailable, we work with customers to resolve issues promptly. Our customer support team is available to support customers, ensuring quick communication and timely issue resolution. - Approach to resilience
- Our service is designed to run on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). GCP utilises the byzantine fault tolerant technique to replicate servers into zones. As these zones are isolated from each other it is highly unlikely that all zones fail from the same cause and at the same time.
- Outage reporting
- We are notified of any outages via GCP's zone status API
Identity and authentication
- User authentication needed
- Yes
- User authentication
-
- Public key authentication (including by TLS client certificate)
- Username or password
- Other
- Other user authentication
- Users can access the service via multiple routes these all have different authentication. When customers access the service via API they are authenticated by unique key authentication and data match requirements. When customers access the service via Admin Portal they are authenticated by Username & Password requirements. When a patient (end user) access the service they are authenticated via a JSON web token for Phio Triage.
- Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels
- Our management interface is restricted by layered access levels. This ensures members of staff are only provided access to the level of data required to successfully complete their job while at the same time restricting them from any access not required for their job. This allows us to protect the data.
- Access restriction testing frequency
- At least every 6 months
- Management access authentication

Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
- Configuration and change management approach
- Change management is handled without our QMS system. All requirements are kept up to date and are fully traceable throughout the lifecycle of the change and archived for future reference if required. All requirements are to be reviewed and signed off by both our Data Security Officer and our Clinical Safety Officer in line with DCB 0129
- Vulnerability management type
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
- Vulnerability management approach
- Our regular pen-tests and overall security assessments help us identify our vulnerabilities and other risks. Our agile and highly competent team are able to patch a security flaw within the time limit specified in our SLAs.
- Protective monitoring type
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
- All our exposed services (available on the internet) utilise GOOGLE FRONT END as reverse proxy. This layer also provides real time threat detection. When a potential risk is identified we have settings in place to temporary disable the service involved or, as in the case of a DoS attack, our system intelligently throttles inbound requests.
- Incident management type
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v3.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
- Incident management approach
- Incidents are handled in accordance with our internal Security Incident Process and Data Breach Policy. Business Continuity plans are in place in case of severe incidents which could threaten the continuity of the organisation. Incidents can be reported via a business email account and all incidents are logged and tracked.

Fighting climate change
EQL's Phio technology promotes remote, digital data capture which minimises paper based approaches to collecting information and reduces visits to the hospital.Covid-19 recovery
MSK waiting lists have been significantly impacted by Covid-19, with some patients waiting over a year for an appointment. The NHS will restore services by reducing unnecessary face to face care for appropriate patients.
Phio Collect helps understand how patients are responding to each service, helping identify key areas for improvement for COVID recovery.Tackling economic inequality
Phio is made available to all patients, regardless of economic background. Tackling inequality in healthcare is a core ambition for the EQL team, and Phio helps NHS services collect richer data from their patient population to improve services for poorer communities. By taking the pressure off MSK services and saving clinical time, NHS Trusts can reallocate resources to meet the needs of patients that need it the most.Equal opportunity
Phio Collect is made available to all patients, providing equal opportunity for the population. Phio Collect can also be made available in multiple languages, reducing barriers to engagement for all communities
