    South West Society for Academic Primary Care (SAPC) Conference 2020 5-6 March, Bristol Abstracts 1 1A.1 Which patients miss booked appointments with their general practice and why? A systematic review Jo Parsons and Carol Bryce, University of Warwick Dr Joanne Parsons, Dr Carol Bryce, Adam Steege, Joanna Gao and Dr Helen Atherton. Problem Missed GP appointments have substantial time and cost implications for the NHS, with an estimated 15 million appointments being missed annually. The high volume of missed appointments potentially exacerbates health inequalities of some patient groups, reduces access to general practice appointments, and decreases finite GP capacity. The aim of this review is to examine which patient groups are more likely to miss appointments, and to explore the reasons that patients miss appointments. Approach Medline, Premedline, Embase, PsychInfo, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane reviews and CENTRAL were searched. Terms relating to General Practice and missed appointments were included in the searches. We included all studies published since 2003 which considered missed appointments using any study design. Titles, abstracts and full texts of results were screened, and relevant data was extracted from included studies. Quality assessment was conducted on included studies, using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. A narrative synthesis will be conducted on included studies. Findings Preliminary results indicate that 40 studies fit eligibility criteria to be included in the review, which is ongoing. The review aims to identify patients who miss booked appointments in general practice. Using demographic information about patients who miss appointments we will discuss who books the missed appointments, who the appointments were booked with and reasons why patients missed these appointments.

  • Intrinsyc: Windows CE Feature Phone Platform Gains New Partners
    Windows CE feature phone platform gains new partners Feb. 12, 2007 Intrinsyc Software on Feb. 12 announced that three new software partners are supporting its Windows CE-based Soleus feature phone platform. The partnerships will provide options for a JVM (Java Virtual Machine), mobile data synchronization, and multi- service instant messaging for use in Soleus-based handsets. Intrinsyc describes Soleus as a "full" suite of development tools that can be used to create cost-effective, feature-rich mobile handsets based on Windows CE. The Soleus suite basically comprises a Windows CE 5 adaptation kit, a board support package (BSP), and a software development kit (SDK). Additionally, the suite includes "UX Designer," a plug-in for Visual Studio 2005 that is used for creating and editing portable user interface schemes, according to the company. The three new software partners will support Soleus with the following products and technologies: • Esmertec -- Esmertec's Jbed software is an implementation of the Jbed Java Virtual Machine for mobile handsets and embedded devices. According to Esmertec, Jbed is easy to integrate, and will allow manufacturers to quickly add applications to the Soleus platform while "omitting the typical three month porting process." • Avanquest -- Avanquest Software says its Mobile Sync software will enable Soleus-based devices to synchronize with PC data and applications, such as Outlook contacts and calendar, pictures, movies, and music. This "continues the convergence of PCs and mobile devices" by letting users access information anywhere, anytime.
