dart OCM is a browser-based order communications solution, designed specifically to meet the needs of individual users, primary care and hospital departments.

Accessed through a web browser, dart OCM can be used to order pathology, radiology or other requests either remotely from the GP’s surgery or directly from hospital wards.
The solution enables users to easily input validated patient information, clinical information (both coded and free text) and clinical tests based on the coding tables of the individual hospital.
The unique design of the intuitive user interface delivers appropriate patient advice and provides a valuable opportunity for achieving improvements in demand management.
Through our supplier partnerships, Plumtree Group has ensured that dart OCM is compatible with all the nationally recognised GP systems. This allows dart OCM to provide real benefits across the full spectrum of requesting locations.
