Electronic patient care records (ECR) provide clinicians with a greater volume of clinical information allowing virtual triage and STT. We aimed to assess if using ECR and STT can reduce delays in diagnosis and treatment. A review of 300 colorectal referrals between 2018-2019 was performed. Patients awaiting an appointment were reviewed electronically, by a single colorectal surgeon and re-triaged STT if appropriate. The delay in time from referral to initial review was removed, creating a second group for statistical comparison to demonstrate time saved if the strategy was adopted at the point of original triage. 91.3% (n= 274) were red flag referrals. 94% (n=282) were sent STT. Patients processed via traditional referral and clinic had a median time to scope of 36 days compared with 22.5 days, p < 0.001 if triaged STT via virtual clinic.
