Clinician-led
Pathways begin with a defined clinical problem and are shaped with the people responsible for delivering care.
About Corsalveo
Designed by clinicians, around clinical work.
Corsalveo develops focused digital infrastructure to make communication between clinical teams clearer, safer and more accountable.
Our purpose
Turning fragile processes into dependable pathways.
Important inter-hospital decisions still depend too often on telephone calls, bleeps, personal contacts and disconnected messages.
These methods can be difficult to track and vulnerable to delay, interruption and loss of clinical context.
Corsalveo develops services that structure the clinical request, connect it to the appropriate specialist team and return a documented outcome.
Technology should support professional judgement, not replace it. Our products are designed around clinical responsibility, human oversight and the realities of frontline care.
Focused
We address specific communication and referral problems without introducing unnecessary complexity.
Governed
Clinical safety, privacy, accountability and auditability are considered throughout development and deployment.
The origin of ROHIT
A commitment that a patient’s experience should lead to meaningful change.
ROHIT was inspired by the experience of a patient with a time-critical cardiac condition whose transfer between hospitals was delayed.
The subsequent review identified difficulties in clinical recognition, repeated unsuccessful attempts to communicate between hospital teams and an incomplete record of who had reviewed the case, what had been discussed and how the transfer decision had been reached.
Following that experience, a commitment was made to pursue practical change and reduce the risk of another patient encountering the same fragmented process.
That commitment led to ROHIT: a structured and auditable pathway through which the referral, supporting information, specialist review, advice, escalation and outcome can be followed by the responsible teams.
Inspired by one patient’s journey. Built to improve the pathways that follow.
ROHIT was inspired by the experience of a patient admitted to hospital
with chest pain and an ECG later recognised as showing an acute heart attack.
Transfer to a specialist cardiac centre was delayed while hospital teams experienced repeated
difficulties communicating and establishing a clear plan.
When the patient was transferred, angiography showed a completely blocked coronary
artery requiring treatment.
The subsequent review identified failures in clinical recognition,
communication and documentation, including an incomplete record of who had reviewed the case and what decisions had been made.
The experience demonstrated how vulnerable time-critical care can become when referral
depends on telephone calls, bleeps and fragmented records. ROHIT was
created from a commitment to build a clearer, traceable pathway for the patients who follow.

ROHIT supports specialist referral and communication. It does
not replace emergency pathways or the clinical
responsibility to recognise and escalate a medical
emergency.
Clinical founder
Experience spanning frontline care, clinical governance and medical education.
Dr Richard Bogle is a consultant interventional cardiologist working in London. His clinical practice includes the assessment and treatment of acute and complex coronary disease and the coordination of care between referring hospitals and specialist cardiac services.
Alongside clinical practice, he holds senior responsibilities in postgraduate medical education, professional governance and clinical standards.
This combination of frontline experience and system-level responsibility informs Corsalveo’s approach: digital services must be clinically useful, operationally realistic and supported by appropriate safety and governance arrangements.
ROHIT developed from direct experience of the limitations of telephone- and bleep-dependent inter-hospital referral. It was built around the information clinicians need, the decisions for which they remain accountable and the record organisations require to understand and improve their pathways.

How we work
Start with the clinical problem.
Corsalveo’s approach is to understand the actual clinical pathway, identify where communication or accountability is vulnerable and build the lightest dependable service that addresses that problem.
Understand
Define the clinical problem, users, responsibilities and existing pathway before designing the technology.
Structure
Identify the information, escalation and outcomes needed for a reliable clinical conversation.
Assure
Consider clinical hazards, information governance, operational controls and organisational responsibilities.
Learn
Use pathway activity, user experience and incident learning to guide measured improvement.
