'Using Digital Health Technologies to address current NHS challenges' - the publication outlines the necessary system changes to effectively leverage digital technologies in addressing the NHS's most pressing issues, emphasizing four key recommendations: - Provide both the resource and political impetus to the MHRA to support the ambitious programme for #SoftwareasaMedicalDevice (#SaMD) and ensure capacity to process digital health technologies. - NHS data should be curated and made accessible to innovators in a secure, agile and timely manner. Governance and commercial terms for access need to ensure the UK is a globally competitive location for innovation. - Develop an ambitious assessment programme for #digitalhealth solutions that supports clinical need, availability and choice. - Develop specific #paymentpathways that recognise the value that #digitaltechnologies can deliver in terms of early intervention, prevention, and population level #publichealth. Delving into the Digital Health opportunity, with case studies from members, the report examines the barriers that are currently in place, and that need be overcome, to help realise the benefits of #DigitalHealthTechnologies for patients, clinicians, #healthsystem and the economy. #healthcare #healthtech #UKhealthcare #NHS #healthcaresystem

🏥 As of 2022, 96% of hospitals engaged in at least one form of electronic public health data exchange, according to an ONC blog post. However, data exchange barriers persist, with about three-quarters of hospitals reporting at least one obstacle to public health reporting in 2022. The most common challenge was hospitals' perception that public health authorities (PHAs) could not electronically receive information. Hospitals also reported technical complexities and exchange costs as barriers to electronic public health reporting. ONC data found lower rates of electronic public health reporting across small, rural, independent and critical access hospitals. 🌐📊 #HealthcareInnovation #DataExchange #PublicHealth #HospitalChallenges #HealthIT #MedicalTechnology #HealthData #DigitalHealth #PatientCare #HealthInformation #HealthTech #HealthcareSolutions #HealthSystem #EHR
