When seeking NHS & social care staff to switch from something tried and true to something new, a bit better isn’t good enough.
Finding the time & resources is hard so any new thing needs to be dramatically better in at least one way, if not multiple ways.
"How do we get the best from technology” 🎙️
@MustBeMistry, Fellow @TheKingsFund, discusses the NHS Federated Data Platform, leadership challenges in digital healthcare and bridging the digital divide on #VoicesofCare. Watch full episode with host, @suhail1mirza below 👇
Digitally enabled care in the #community is currently limited by low levels of investment and siloed approaches.
So what needs to happen to unlock the potential of digital technologies? See our recommendations below – and read the full report here: https://t.co/aXJEvzl0iz
@SarahJPharm@drpoco Thanks, I’d be interested in the results if you can share @drpoco
I’ve not come across any examples of AI being used in this way. There’s some studies on letters that show net increase in clinician time used but improvements in communication quality. I’ll try dig out a link.

Do you work in a trust that uses AI to generate discharge summaries (I'd love to know which trusts please), or have you used AI tools as an individual, e.g. chatGPT, to help write them?

Research from @TheKingsFund explores reality of digital use in community services & what future could & should hold. Delighted it references our Test Bed as example of innovating with tech to support staff & people who draw on services. @MustBeMistry

More funding can accelerate the purchase of technology in NHS & social care
But that doesn’t necessarily mean services can transform & implement tech tools at the same pace. That takes capacity, training & development of workflows.
🚨new @TheKingsFund report‼️
Digitally enabled care in the community
-when it works it’s transformative but
-patients often frustrated & face harms
- staff frustrated by poor tech & little support
-new tech: hope for dignity, independence & person centre

Digital technology has the potential to bring care closer to home and support people to live full and independent lives.
Our new report, commissioned by @nourishcare, offers recommendations to help realise this potential. Read it now: https://t.co/aXJEvzl0iz
Liking this long read on #DigitallyEnabledCare#TEC and how it helps integrate health and care at home. Our @DunhillMedical funded #TAPPI ‘testbeds’ developed 6 principles with #coproduction at its core to fully integrate health, care & housing. Read ⬇️

Future tech we should be accelerating & preparing for:
- Augmented reality
- miniaturisation of diagnostics
- 3D printing
- AI & robotics
But will need a vision, shift in funding balance, support staff to incorporate tech & is dependent upon the evolution of roles with staff.
