Independent research and innovation platform. Not an NHS organisation or NHS-endorsed service.
Commissioner summary

Three medicines problems. One controlled evaluation. One decision at week 20.

Sitora proposes a governed medicines-intelligence pilot covering cross-setting medication reconciliation, preventable repeat oversupply and evidence-backed resource opportunities.

Core workflowLoop

Medicine Loop

Close authorised medication changes across hospital, GP, pharmacy, care-home and community workflows.
Waste preventionNeed?

WasteGuard

Identify repeat supply that may no longer be required before avoidable dispensing occurs.
ResourcePathway?

Resource Intelligence

Identify clinically appropriate pathway changes worth measuring locally.
Decision20 weeks

Scale / modify / stop

The evaluation ends with a commissioning decision, not an open-ended programme.
The proposition

Fix information loss, avoid unnecessary supply, then recover capacity.

Medicine Loop

Does every affected service reflect the same authorised medication change?

Turn medication changes into owned events with provenance, acknowledgement, reconciliation and closure across organisational boundaries.

WasteGuard

Should this repeat item actually be supplied again now?

Use timing, cumulative supply, stock and medication-change signals to trigger proportionate human review before unnecessary dispensing.

Resource Intelligence

If treatment is needed, is the pathway using avoidable resource?

Use published evidence and local measurement to prioritise route, formulation, preparation and capacity opportunities.

What Sitora is

An intelligence and accountability layer, not a replacement prescribing system.

Technical implementation
01

Receive

Read the minimum required medication, supply and pathway signals.

02

Detect

Identify a conflict, oversupply signal or resource opportunity.

03

Route

Assign the next action to the responsible organisation or professional.

04

Close

Record acknowledgement, reconciliation or governed implementation.

05

Verify

Measure safety, workload, financial effect and reusable capacity.

The ask

What we need from an NHS partner.

  • Approve a 20-week discovery and controlled pilot
  • Nominate one acute provider plus a limited primary-care, pharmacy and care-setting cohort
  • Nominate executive, clinical, pharmacy, digital/IG, finance and evaluation leads
  • Permit access to the minimum agreed datasets and workflow interfaces
  • Approve clinical-safety and intervention protocols before live action
  • Agree benefit definitions and balancing measures before baseline begins
Safety boundary

No silent overwrite. No autonomous prescribing change.

Conflicting medication states remain visible until an accountable professional reconciles them. Clinically significant changes remain under authorised professional control.

Success rule

Recovery has to be demonstrated, not inferred.

SafetyClinical

No unacceptable harm

Medication discrepancies, missed doses and adverse effects monitored.
WorkloadNet

No hidden burden

New pharmacist, GP and nursing work is counted.
CapacityHours

Reusable release

Time only counts when it is demonstrably available for other activity.
Money£

Finance validated

Cash release and cost avoidance remain separate.
Week 20

Three legitimate outcomes: scale, modify or stop.

The proposal is intentionally falsifiable. If the opportunity is too small, unsafe or creates more work than it removes, the correct answer is to stop.
