VitalHub UK’s Post

We are thrilled to see SHREWD featured heavily in today's visit by Wes Streeting, Health Secretary, to NHS England’s Urgent and Emergency Care (UEC) Operations Centre. During the visit, he observed how the centre uses advanced technologies and data insights to monitor and manage healthcare system performance, with the help of our SHREWD platform, seen in the footage. The NHSE UEC Operations Centre plays a vital role in addressing challenges such as patient flow, resource allocation, and operational efficiency across the NHS. This visit showcased our SHREWD National Control Centre, which provides the granular, real-time visibility required to support these objectives. SHREWD’s interactive map, OPEL statuses, ICB dials, and data-driven insights were showcased as part of the visit, highlighting their contribution to improving system-wide decision-making and optimising patient care pathways.

A huge congratulations to NELFT NHS Foundation Trust for being shortlisted in the Health Tech News Awards 2024 in the category of 'Major Project Go Live'. NELFT decided to take a long-term, integrated approach to virtual wards, uniting a diverse range of stakeholders from acute and primary care providers to community health services and local authorities. By fostering collaboration, NELFT addressed capacity challenges but also lay the groundwork for a more resilient, patient-focused model of care for the future. The trust worked with their supplier to innovate with their existing technology. Real-time visibility dashboards and the integration with the Access Rio EPR demonstrate how the trust has adapted the model to their specific needs. The project has prioritised the seamless transfer of information between systems, for example between the patient flow solution and the EPR. It enables all the necessary information for discharge to be collated in 15 minutes, improving patient flow and reducing bed blocking. The trust expects to increase the number of patients served on a virtual ward by 300 percent, having gone from five to 15 beds within the first month.

Last week saw the release of Professor the Lord Darzi of Denham OM KBE PC FRS's Report into the NHS. It is a sobering read, but there is hope that the challenges are not insurmountable. Lord Darzi identifies multiple areas where providers can look to improve such as re-engaging patients, changing the wiring of financial flows, innovating care delivery to be closer to home, tilting towards technology and others. It struck me that there are no quick wins here – the themes identified will be informing the forthcoming 10-year plan, and each theme requires significant investment, time and effort from staff – all of these currently at a premium. I am curious to know from my connections working in the #NHS, of the themes set out in the report, which one are you making your priority? #healthcaretransformation #NHS #DarziReport

It was great to be at the #ICSNetwork conference yesterday, run by NHS Confederation. One of my big takeaways is that we have cause to be optimistic! We have a lot of answers, our collective challenge now is delivering answers at scale, and I was really struck by a quote from Paul Corrigan that 'the future is happening but not evenly'; which is to say that in every system there are elements of the 'big three shifts' already under way. However the public experience of health and care are that these services are 'broken'. This experience is in part created by personal interaction with services (waiting for a planned procedure, waiting to see a GP), but it is confirmed by the mainstream narrative of failure. We need to find a way of talking about service reform which acknowledges that current models need to change, but that we also have a lot of answers, the task now is to role out the success stories at great enough scale to change the public experience. Communities, people working in health and care, patients, carers, families can all play a part in making a success of reform; but only if the evidence of progress, learning, and success is shared. #NHS #caretransformation #healthinnovation

We are proud to have played a key role in uniting two major hospital trust systems into one with our Integration Engine for the Gateshead Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC). This powerful solution connects systems from Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust and Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and ensures: ✅ Unified data: A single source of truth for diagnostic information across both trusts. ✅ Enhanced efficiency: Streamlined workflows that reduce administrative overhead. ✅ Improved patient care: Faster, more coordinated care delivery. By bridging the gap between these two trusts, we’ve created a foundation for collaboration and innovation, making diagnostics more accessible and efficient for patients in the region. This project demonstrates the power of technology in breaking down silos and transforming healthcare. Together, we’re enabling a smarter, more connected NHS. 🔗 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eZq2_iSb #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #IntegrationSolutions #PatientCare #NHSPartnerships
