NHS Emergency Care App is used operationally primarily by UK public sector staff who have a healthcare focus and assists in monitoring situations in and status of A&E Departments. The application is automatically refreshed every 15 minutes to provide the most up to date information. The application is restricted to users who have applied for an allocated and publicly available OKTA authentication account.
The App itself processes only aggregated data which is sent in by NHS trusts to an NHS Improvement API. The data is then passed back to the App via the same API to a user’s mobile device.
