Trust can use PKB for all the elective recovery initiatives, not just one. All the initiatives are connected to a patient's pathway through their diagnosis, treatment and discharge.

...

PKB can help with the current urgent Waiting List Validation priorities and the ongoing long-term wait list management of patients and improve communication between the hospital and their patients.

How 

PKB provides a digital tool for all NHSE Elective recovery plan aspects, including giving patients access to hospital data, appointments, and letters. Using the questionnaire/consultation feature to validate patients waiting repeatedly and regularly ensures accurate information when it matters most.
