Powerful elective care solutions and data management capabilities that unify disparate data for informed trust-wide management, and ICS insight and control.
Less resourcing means more reform, warns Labour’s top health advisor. But not all reform means upheaval. We investigate how incremental improvements can snowball into serious productivity gains https://t.co/qC58tOC87i
Doctors paid up to £200,000 overtime to tackle NHS backlog, reports the BBC. But long waits are not the whole story. We explore how better planning can reduce this high marginal cost https://t.co/F0HrEzEWGo
NHS England are shifting away from ‘cohort management’. Good. But restoring the 18 weeks standard is going to need a whole different set of tools, as we explain https://t.co/8aoZPmrOir
Just 7 months to procure and implement a Cancer Pathway Management system? An estimated saving of 76 hours per week for cancer teams? And all at Scotland’s largest NHS Board? Absolutely, and here is their case study https://t.co/vol6loJNnz
The Budget paved the way for extra appointments to cut waiting lists. But that is only half the story. The other half may be less glamourous, but it packs as big a punch https://t.co/U5C5FR2CCQ
The NHS does not have the infrastructure for AI, notes @LukeOShea1. Inconsistent data causes awful reliability, says @CraigNikolic. All true. And all solvable without needing to replace the core systems, as we explain https://t.co/03qQSmFuj2
Yet another dollop of cash from the Welsh Govt, but why are these so ineffective at solving long waiting times? Answers emerge when you look at the root causes https://t.co/0T7ZAf0qsv @DHCWales
Some 10% of NHS elective care is now consistently delivered in the independent sector, and they could take even more. But clunky NHS waiting list management systems are getting in the way – we look at the solution https://t.co/RXjxhJshlA
Healthcare is complex and specialised, so its IT systems are too. But this disparate data makes it hard for clinicians and managers to optimise patient pathways. Is this inevitable? Not at all – and we have proved it https://t.co/eFoDhdHFK6
Waiting time are long. So the NHS needs more money for direct patient care. Right? Not quite. As the Royal College of Surgeons explains, capital investment needs to come first. https://t.co/sETQS90EDx
Year-on-year reduction in English wait list accelerated in August. Good. But there’s a long way to go: it needs to shrink by nearly a million a year to restore 18-week waits this Parliament https://t.co/hs7Nvjm2OS
.@jacobnhaddad of @Accurx explains how the good old telephone and letter are entrenching the traditional appointment as the way care is delivered. Yes. But we would go further, because more effective communication relies on good underlying data https://t.co/g6X9peocmD
Cancer patients in Scotland are waiting twice as long as they should, prompting calls for more capacity. But capacity isn’t the only way to improve these highly complex pathways https://t.co/ThG9K9XpcD
If you work in the independent healthcare sector, you may have difficulty with NHS reporting requirements for NHS-funded work. Did you know the NHS has difficulty too? We should know – we provide reporting services for both sectors https://t.co/Ro1m1qsHRB
Wales' first minister has vowed to cut waiting times. It is tempting to reach for extra capacity as the solution, but that is to underestimate the impact of better pathway management https://t.co/ORsqtEwUx8
Transform cancer pathway management with full pathway visibility and better conformance, immediately releasing staff time to resolve delays and bottlenecks https://t.co/CaYSehDlf5
The English waiting list may have finally peaked, our in-house waiting times specialist @gooroohealth writes in the Health Service Journal https://t.co/3cdZqboGKv
“No more money without reform”, said the Prime Minister in response to Lord Darzi’s blistering report on the English NHS. How does that work, exactly? We find a way through https://t.co/02gCXIq1rt
It’s World Patient Safety Day and the focus is correct and timely diagnosis. A clinical matter? In a modern health service, it’s also a data management matter https://t.co/ZUlP2Kq54T
