Make prescribing health technology as safe and simple as prescribing medication.
One secure formulary. Your pathways. Assured, compliant digital health - ready to recommend, track and trust.
Only apps and tools that pass independent checks for safety, privacy and quality make it into your formulary.
Clinicians can find and share approved digital tools with patients in just a few clicks, right from their usual workflow.
See which tools are being recommended and used, helping you spot gaps, measure impact, and improve care pathways.
Thousands of health tools and apps, little clarity on which are safe or effective
Time-consuming and repeated compliance checks for each procurement
Clinicians lack confidence to recommend without assurance
Patients get mixed messages and adoption rates stay low
The ORCHA Digital Health Formulary gives your teams a single, curated place to find, recommend, and monitor high-quality digital health tools - embedded into everyday workflows.
A curated library of safe, quality-assured digital health tools chosen by your organisation.
Clinicians can quickly find and recommend apps to patients, built into existing workflows.
Track recommendations, patient uptake, and outcomes to improve services.
Every product in your formulary is drawn from ORCHA’s continuously assessed library and tiered ORCHA Assured scheme (Bronze/Silver), giving a clear certification mark that products meet defined thresholds for safety, privacy, evidence and usability.
Reviews cover five domains: Data & Privacy, Clinical Regulation/Safety, Evidence & Outcomes, Usability & Accessibility, and incorporate the NICE Evidence Standards Framework.
Role-based access, recommendation audit trails, and activity reporting help you meet local policies and external standards. (Detailed product compliance remains available via Compare or per-product reports.)
Find approved tools fast, save favourites, and send a secure SMS/email recommendation to the patient, right from the EPR.
Embed the Formulary into leading EPRs (e.g., Epic, Cerner) with single sign-on so clinicians never leave the record.
Build collections by condition, service, or population to standardise digital first-line options across pathways.
